Really Weird Leaderhead Problems..

Hi all... I started playing BTS but am having problems with opposing leaderheads showing up with transparency in the wrong places. In some cases, the leader does not appear at all except their hair, as if they were invisible. In others, the wrong parts of them are transparent. In the shot of Hannibal below, for example, it seems his face is transparent and I can see the back of his head through his skill. One of these problems occurs with every other leader, with variously grotesque results. The leaders display fine in the civ select screen and the Dawn of Man screen, it is only in-game that they are screwed up.

I am running an HP pavilion P4 2.6 GHz, 512 MB RAM, and a Geforce 4 MX 64 MB. I know it's below the recommended specs, but the game otherwise runs fine. Leaderheads always displayed perfectly in Warlords.

I have checked my Nvidia drivers and they are the latest. Directx install is also current using the link at the top of this forum. I have also checked to make sure that Vanilla Civ 4 and Warlords are properly updated. I really have no idea what could be causing this problem. It's not the worst bug a guy could have but it does detract from the enjoyment a little bit when I'm conducting diplomacy with an invisible ghost or a bizzarrely mutated freak.

Any ideas?

Geforce 4 MX seems to cause all kinds of problems in diplomacy screen

You could try to replace BTS Civ4Leaderheadshader.fx file with Civ4's, but I doubt it's going to work
 
This is the same issue a lot of us are having. See the missing leader head thread. For answers and sad answers.
