Graphics Glitching with new AMD card

Uboatman · 01-11-13, 08:31 AM

Anyone else with a AMD HD7xxx series card:

These artifacts just appear of milliseconds on the horizon, sky and when viewing objects from certain angles.

If you have encountered this have you managed to get rid of it and how?

Have you the latest released drivers? If so try rolling back a couple previous.

Replace data/scene.dat with the one from GWX3 Gold. Maybe someone can upload the file for you.

Thank you, awesome. Just installed GWX now which I was going to do anyway after I'd finished testing the Vanilla install. Only done quick test but no artifacts visible so far

Next question: Need to apply the res fix, can I do that now or should I wait for other mods to be installed? And with also with the res fix do I also ned to change the res in DATA/CFG/Main as well?

I still use an old nVidia 7800gt with the latest drivers and i've seen that effect maybe 2 or 3 times in my 5 years of playing. It occures on clear days and nites and will "fix" itself when the weather changes or a save and restart. Always wondered about that but its so rare at zenith and self-correcting, that I've never bothered to inquire about it. I run GWX 3.0 too.
