Do you have an ATI graphic card? For some of them you can get that (not for newest though).

I have an ATI Radeon 9250 128 MB, I tryed to send a screeni but I havn't mastered that yet. I've been playing with it like this for about a year now and just delt with it whilst modding my game now that I have it where I want it I've begun a mission and now it's bothering me so if there is a fix I sure would be pleased to know. Thank You

I have same card and same problem

I have graphic glitches too with an ATI card.

I solve them underclocking a little bit the memory and core.

My card has 560/520 ... ireduce it to 550/510 and the problem "near" to disapears.

When the glitches apears, i simply press the "windows" key in my keyboard, and go for few seconds to my desktop, and when back to the sim, glitches goes off...

SH3 is the only game with this problem.

Hi, I have an ATI X700 & no probs, before that a 9800 pro with no problems. However I am always concerned about overheating problems, so both these cars have better cooling fans installed, infact the X700 has the original on one side of the board and "Iceburg" fan on the other!

I soupose that initially, Reede, but the problem happens with very few use time, and normal temps, and happens in summer as in winter where the max temp reached is about 53 degrees.

In another way, no other game has glitches even with high temps near to 70 degrees.

Finally a reduction in core and mamory frecuency near to solve the problem.

In my opinion the problem is the ATI bad building quality.

So far I have tryed everything (1) tryed reclocking up and down. (2) used the ATITool.
(3) deleted the manufacturer drives and now have omega drives installed first with 2.6.12 and then with 3.24.64, and neither of them worked still have them blinkin blotches in my center veiw when horizen is equal and seems to be worse than before the black blothes are blinkin faster now. Anymore suggestions or do I just keep on tweeking (trial and error) till mabey I hit something. I'm about ready to reinstall manufacturer drvers because it wasn't near as bad as is now.

By the way the new avatar on the left shows exactly how I feel lol.
