Still worth a check - look top right in the main game menu

just checked - Indeed I am on version 1.2

Update - I've tried several servings changes, no difference. It's strange in that it seems more prevalent at night.

Also the shadows just don't seem quite right, they flicker around the edges and just seem a little strange.

It seems obvious there is some kind of graphics anomaly - I have an ATI radeon 6790 gfx card - that's not proven to have and sh5 issues does it? I could try a driver reinstall but interestingly, no other games have these problems.

Advice appreciated,
Sev.

check your gfx card it could be dirty and overheating or it could just be getting ready to fail on you

it definately sounds like its card related and the card can or should handle the game so im thinking card is dying on you if its not overheating

Are the lines straight (mine are not)? I have a similar problem with both SHIV and SH5. I'd call it posterization because, for me, the 'streaks' seem to ebb and flow with the gradual change in lighting from horizon to straight up.

I haven't noticed any shadow problems. I myself am running an ATI 6970.

I can't seem to get rid of it. It's makes the game annoying, but is still playable (thanks to the amazing mods/modders out there)

Bursar; yes sounds like you have the same issue as me....must be something to do with this card.

Webster - I've done a full stress test on the card itself monitoring heats and ran diagnostic software on it - card itself isn't faulty, so I'm suspecting some driver anomaly - might try an earlier driver.

ok well thats good news then

thats why im not a big ATI fan, the drivers can take forever sometimes and if there is a bad one you might have to wait 6 months for a fix.

if you have the latest driver then try going back to the previous driver before the one you have now and see if that helps, beyond that you may need to reduce your settings
