How to remove Black MipMap lines on the road
============================================

Black lines appearing on the road are caused by forcing the graphics driver to use AF
(Anisotrophic Filtering) and/or FSAA (Fullscreen Anti Alias) via the graphics driver setup.
This also can have other graphical side effects, such as poor looking fonts and 2D graphics,
because forced AF and FSAA is applied to everything that is rendered
instead of the application selecting where to use it. Performance also degrades.
Please use default graphics driver settings so that the application is able to control graphics settings.
This way there will be no black mipmap lines and the game runs with optimal performance.
