Stripes on water

[Jasmin Helstein]

Hello everyone,

For a few weeks now I'm seeing stripes on water, vertically and horizontally, and they flicker when I move the camera. I've never seen this before.

It shows like this with all windlightsettings, setting water refections to minimal takes away just some of the stripes and the only way I have found to get rid of them completely is taking the transparency out of the water.

I do know ATI and SL is not always a good combination I hope there is no problem with that but here is my system info.

Does anyone have a sugestion to what may be causing this or better ... what I can do about it ?

Thanks

ETA: I just found out it seems a Fire Storm thing, Singluarity and the official viewer don't show the stripes. I didn't see them before and I didn't update anything recently so I do hope it is one of the settings.

Found it ...\o/ 

In the photo tools I had the quality of water reflections set at life-like without the Advanced Lighting Model enabled. Enabling that or reducing the quality takes away the stripes.
