Really wierd physics

I have bf install on my laptop and it works fine except there is a glitch on hoth which inverts the textures of many square patches (mostly further away 1s)

but this is really weird...

I installed it on my brothers new PC:
-Nvidia 6800 ultra (i think)
-1GB RAM
-P4 3.4ghz

My laptop:
-ATi 9600
-1GB RAM
-P4 3ghz

What happens on my bruva's pc:
Theres something weird going on with hover vehicles and possibly others... the vehcile rocks out of control when strafing or harshly manouvering, vehicles roll, go upside-down, spin and even seem to launch into the air occasionally! Air craft and walkers seem unaffected.
Using same patch (1.2) on both comps.

Its like physics r muffed - roll bounderies/dampening or gravity perhaps?

Ne1 got ne idea whats wrong with it?

Nvidia 6800 ultra (i think)
PCI-Express or AGP ? (That's just for my own knowledge...)
there is a glitch on hoth
What Hoth's map ? The official one ("HOTH : ECHO BASE") or user-made maps ?...

No idea, sorry.
Official Hoth (I would state otherwise and asume its just cause its a mod). I reckon its cause I have an ATi graphics card and not an Nvidia card :x Nvidia and Lucas Arts teaming up do other ATi users have this problem? Is it just ATi/non Nvidia problem or do equivilant Nvidia cards have the same prob? R Nvidia really better or is this just a deliberate glitch?

nah... done that 2x now for other reasons. My version of BF is screwed up :(
I noticed the glitch seems to be on every level... just less noticable - its like the lighting or something is different on different tiles... I can see large squares like a patch-work, its just so much more obvious on hoth because it inverts the colour of some tiles - until I move closer but not all further away tiles r black.

Ne ideas bout the physics problem?

Do you know if your graphic card's drivers are up-to-date ?
