Default Hmmm strange

Has this happened to anyone before?





Did a reinstall yesterday cos i screwed my install up removing a mod, and this happens after about 15 to 30 mins of play.. It's not always the same textures that are messed up and i can't think of any reason why it's doing this all of a sudden. Running the latest vid drivers and no problems like this before reinstall.

See if other games screw up after 15 minutes as well (at least, some graphics intense ones).

Video display going wonky after time, is indication of overheating of the video card. SH4 is very draining on Vid cards.

If it was something else, there wouldn't be a 15 minute delay.

PS: although, the interface looks fine. Weird.

One other thing i forgot to mention. If i alt tab out and then back in, the textures go back to normal. unfortunatley the controll room background noise gets stuck on. You can hear it when in external views or at the sonar station, though i remember this being a feature in SH3 as well.

Call me crazy but... try re-seating your video card. As it pull it out and put it back in.

When you reinstalled it did you make sure everything was deleted from where it installed at. Mabey it didn't delete everything before the reinstall. Whats your computer specs?

I don't think its your video card because you said it worked fine untill you screwed it up when trying to remove a mod and reinstalled it.
