Vehicles disapearing while in view range

[Leber Und Pilz]

I got a weird bug in my BF2 install/hardware/software setup

I see a tank at max view distance, fine, i move closer and it disapears. If i move a good deal closer it reapears..... (if the tank does not move)
While I cant see the tank i can see its mussle flash while it fires.

I switched from patch 1.2 to 1.3, and simultaniously swith from a ctr to a tft display.
I am using a
ATI Radeon 9800pro with 128 mb ram (Cat 5.3)
AMD Barton 2600
1024 mb ram

Setings are @ 1280x1024
Dynamics are off
other settings are medium/high (tried both)
view distance is at 100%

Anyone else got this bug, or has an idea which settings could affekt this problem ?

I'm a noob at this stuff, but i have heard that many people have problems with their Radeon 9800 cards... Maybe thats your problem...

This is a well known and documented LOD bug.

I have the same problems with my Radeon Series (sometimes ).
So I think its a general problem and theres no way that I know to change that!
Sorry for my embarresing english

Thats nice, maybe you could post the location of some of this well known documentation?

I have a Radeon 9800 pro and I've noticed the same things. However, it's only when you look directly toward the vehicle, if you turn left or right just so that the vehicle is at the edge of the screen the vehicle reappears.

It's Dice's lazy programming. They don't feel like making the distance longer, and i have the same problem. On wake island it sucks, considering teh bright, clear sunny day environement that gives about 100ft of sight.
