For those of you unaware of the problem (probably under a rock, eh?) when playing Stranded II in Full Screen, all the terrain and some various other textures will turn black after Alt-Tab'ing out of the game. Playing the game in Windowed (running Stranded II-win file) fixes this, but I personally find the windowed version very disorienting to play, for various reasons that don't really matter to this discussion.
I know there is a fix to this glitch somewhere, because I accidentally download a mod claiming to be a "fixed" version of the Massive Mod, and this glitch was gone. However, the user was banned before he was able to explain what he did to fix it.
I've no aversion to tinkering around in the game-files to fix this glitch, but being rather computer illiterate, I dare not do something like that without someone holding my hand through the process; e.g., you guys!
