Crazy leader bug again!

[NikNak]

For the longest time, I had this weird graphic glitch in Civ IV in which some of the leaderheads would have this odd shadowing around their faces. I finally got that cleared up, thanks to the latest patch, but when I installed Warlords the glitch came back! This is so frustrating! I really want to play this game a lot, but the glitch annoys the heck out of me since it's so glaring in my otherwise bug-free game.

Does anyone know what could be going on? Tech support has been no help, but I've seen where others had the same problem on these boards.

I've got the same problem, and it's noticeable on the faces of all the new leaders, as well as Frederick's, I believe. I'm simply waiting for the new patch and making due until then.

It really infuriates me. It seems like with every two steps forward, Civ IV takes a step back. I feel like the mousy accountant that is somehow dating a supermodel. The supermodel sometimes cheats on him, sometimes yells at him in public, and generally makes him look like an idiot, but the sex is so good there's no way he can leave her. Sigh.

Can you post a screenshot of the leaders with the "shadows"
