I have been trying to play the game, but from the very start the intro video is totally skewed on my computer. From here when the main menu comes up it has white lines flashing all over the left part of the screen (with the spinning planet) and the text is blurred with lines through it. I can start a game, but cannot read what most screens say. In the actual game all graphics look ok EXCEPT any text and any markers (destination points and rally points). I can actually get into a game and play but i am playing blind because all text is messed up. I have high hope for 1.1 but i may need more help than that.
