Strange textures and "river stripes"
 

Thanks for that last patch, it did improve things performance wise for me. However, starting with the previous patch I get these weird textures:

Also, I constantly see another graphics "artifact" around rivers:

These "stripes" have been there from start however so it's not related to the patches.

Is it just me or has anyone else seen these things?

Haven't seen the strange repeating textures, but occasionally I do get the "river stripes"

Is it really just me seeing this?

I have the stripes since day one...

i get the stripes too. you need to higher everything other than shadows and shading turn them low or off if you can, this way the stripes are somewhat reduced

Ok, thanks for the tip on how to reduce the river stripes. Like I said: They've been there from the release so it's nothing that's been added by the patches.

How about the repeating distant textures? They arrived with path #1 and remains after #2. Have anyone else experienced them? To me they are far more annoying than the river stripes since they kill the immersion completely.

I'll try updating my video drivers, just for good measure, but the my whole system is a brand new install so I doubt it will do much good. We'll see though...

Seems I was wrong: A driver update did the trick in removing the annoying repeating textures.

Thanks for your help fellas.

I have a Radeon 6970, and have weird graphical glitches all over:

- a line in the water between less and more detailed part of the rendered terrain (over water)

- a stripe of overlapping/shimmering ground/water textures (very visible when flying high) between less and more detailed part of the rendered terrain

-stripes of water appearing randomly on the terrain

-coastline growing tentacles which appear and disappear at random (documented by others)

- a triple stripe on the horizon (well documented)

- shimmering trees and ground objects

I'll post screens and videos when I get to it, but just thought I mentioned this.

I have "river stripes" with my ATI card.

Does anyone has it with nVidia card??

It was said that this graphical problem is because of land detail being set to low.
