Cryostasis Artifacts (can't be solved)

[Sneaksie]

You can also try 182.50 (these were released before implementing new wddm standard for win 7 and some games work with them better).

The driver failed to install as I think they were only for WindowXP 64bit.
I've noticed in a few screenshots people with the same issue. Either allot of people have not noticed the problem, or it has been ignored. I don't think it's a driver issue. I suspect the game code had a bug somewhere. Might need another patch. The problem only occurs in cold area's, in the heated area's it works fine.

I don't think this issue can be solved, the only solution is anti-analysing which reduces it more then 50%, but it's still there.

Could you post a screenshot showing the problem?

BTW, i had 182.50 installed on Win 7 64-bit some time ago. Make sure you've downloaded the right version (there are separate versions for XP and other OSes).

Ok I just installed the Vista 64bit drivers 182.50 and took these screenshots. Still the same issue.

This with anti aliasing



This is without anti-aliasing (As you can see it's much worse)

Here is a closer shot.

You can see those squares, white ones.

You mean these tiny dots? Looks like this is the hoarfrost effect. Note that there are no dots on the blade of the axe. I wouldn't think its a bug myself...
Can anyone confirm that this effect looks different on his/her PC?

The dots seem more like artifacts, then an effect. I wonder if the cryostasis team can confirm if this is part of the game or is it a bug?
