Opinions?

Can you explain better, what is the problem?

The graphical glitches, all those white liens on the ground, and those weird black lines in the distance.

Is my vid card artifacting, or is it some kind of graphical glitch with the game?

Bung bits circled out.

I don't remember to have see them when i played this map. I will verify tomorrow. You have them over other maps?

Yes, all maps, the black lines are only there however if i turn shadows off, the white lines are always there.

No, never see that in my maps; what videocard you have?

Ati 4830, which has problems, hence my jumping to artifact conclusion.

Thankfully i spent little enoguh on the card that im happy to cook it playing this game XD

tryed to change the graphic settings of game to see if the problem gone?

Nvidia forever:grin:

I've messed around with the settings a bit, turning shit up makes it less visible, although id put this up to i cant see it becuase its coverd in grass, and shit.

Turning it down makes it worse, which i chock up to its the same its just more visible..

low settings, visible white squares/grid. O.o

i guess artificial glitch. Have you tried the new beta drivers of the ati website?
Maybe that could help.
Do you have it only in Xiii or in more games?

Xiii is the only game ive observed graphicial glicthes in.

I've also tried like 3-4 different driver versions already.

Have you tried updating Xiii till the lastest version?

Strangely i suffer this very effect ( to a much lesser degree than shown in the screen shot examples displayed here) i am running 2.2.3 with all options set at max (being highest or in some cases ultra is it), except for bloom this i switch off due to it being slightly excessive.

I can only put it down to graphic driver as i run a sli 2 gtx 480's and i have also tested the game on my back up PC which has a single gtx470 but both run using the 260.99 driver (with latest 3d drivers and pyshx). I am going to try rolling back the driver on my back up pc to see if this line effect seen at long range is lessened or removed.

Guys, please attach the dxdiag file and a screenshot of graphical effect you have. Is important know the hardware\software context for know the possible causes.

Panic not mitra the 256 driver from Nvidea displays the game correctly (and heck my grid lines even with the 260.99 driver was almost unnoticable really only spotted it when looking at this thead and examining in game viewing long range at about 3/4 range back .

Ifyou want i can reinstall the 260.99(not many would be using this its only a few weeks snce it has been a certified driver was in beta fror a while) diver and post dxdiag and screenshots??

I spend alot of tme on the Nvidea tech forums posting my frap results and screen errors in aid to try help them find any problems with drivers.I was one of the many guys running there betas back in the time when they where having TRAA bugs translucent Anti Aliasing;)

I spoke in general for all the errors related to game, Soul (me too have on some terrains this effect with NVIDIA). But is more easy for the game programmers if we pass them all the necessary information.
