Ohh, seems like someone had scratched a paper sheet sky. :lol:

[Type941]

shoot it. :88)


can this be due to some patch version of the game?

[martes86]

I don't think so. Looks more like a graphics problem. Indeed, it's a graphic problem. :D

[Maximus3070]

Ohhh yay someone else with the same problem thought it was just me :)

[Ula Jolly]

If you met that one in the middle of the night, not knowing it was a graphic glitch... it'd be like the Titanic heading STRAIGHT at your sub! I'd let out a very high-pitched scream of terror and surprise!! :rotfl:

[don1reed]

I have the "pox" also...had it from day one right out of the box. It's been with me through all the patches too. I just live with it. :nope:

[Kaleun_Thomsen]

Previously I didnt have this problem so there must be some sort of solution I assume. :-?

[martes86]

Maybe it's just that your card is one of the older models. With a 9550 works great. :D

[Sawdust]

I don't know what the heck that thing is, but it's getting closer!

[Muntjak]

I sometimes have simmilar errors on my radeon 9100 but they don't have shadow on water ;-) It's usualy a problem with sky - sometimes small part of it changes to black for a short part of second. The error always occures in the center of the view and only when using the bridge view (not uzo)

Its the Space Amoeba from Star Trek :rotfl:

"Captain... the stars are gone!"

Exactly, just the bridge, FLAK and cannon view.

Could be your graphcs card overheating causeing artifacting.

Check to see if your Fan is clear of dust, and take the side of your case off for a while when playing to check the circulation.

It actually casts a reflection onto the water, I don't think an overheating graphics card would cause something like that?
Weird, might just be a graphic glitch, have you tried with other display drivers? :hmm:

[Sawdust]

There's a brief mention of your problem in this thread. See the fourth post. It seems you might try different graphics card drivers.

Godzilla? How close to Japan are you?

[Twelvefield]

It's your graphics card. The 9200 isn't well supported for SHIII. It gets even worse for a 9200 mobility, which is what I have in my laptop.

As far as I know, there are no driver solutions for this issue.

Looks like a black iceburg :88)

I thought somethjing like that.
If it werent that my GF crapped out on me I never put this card back in. (It has been in for a few painstaking days before...)

Why did I ever get an ATI in the first place... :damn:

[urseus]

Because they kick total ass and my 9800 pro is STILL keeping up with the latest games.

How old is it, and i still play this game on 4x AA and 4x AF.
Even plays BF2 smooth as.

My thoughts exactly.

Looks like an Iceburg with the sun on the other side so as to make it look black from your subs view.


@ Kaleun_Thomsen

Are you sure your not Waaaayy up north in those pics? :-? :hmm:

I think your crew just got the hots for "North to Alaska" ( no Jonny Horton here :rotfl: ) and overshot their mark. :lol: :lol:


Edit: That last pic looks a lot like "Moby Dick" :lol:

Right.. I looked closer at it today and saw reflections... hm... I'll look for some new drivers for my aging redeon 9100.

I might have been, but I dont remember the name of the harbor I took this picture in anymore.

I found myself with a terrible headache, a hangover on top of that in an alley of the harbor.... and my wallet was gone too.
Musta been those harbor chicks again. :damn:

[Elder-Pirate]

Yep those Harbor chicks are known to do that. :rotfl:

Arrgh! Its the monolith from 2010!! My god ,its full of stars!!!


I get artifacting if I look directly up at the sky on the bridge, during the day its fine but at night theres a sinister looking black-ish hole-ish thing looming menacingly overhead, and looks much worse in heavy cloud.
