Graphics glitch issue

Blacklight · 01-17-13, 01:39 AM

Any idea as to what's causing this glitch in 3D view? Whenever I look at a surface ship, there's hundreds of tiny renderings of the ship in the water going off into the horizon.
They go away when I look up at it from underwater.

And is it just me or is this ship also missing it's textures? The other ships in this sim seem so detailed but this one is very plain.

Bumping this back up again. Do any of you know what's going on with these graphics or how to remedy it?

It only does this for the surface ships.
Did something install wrong with the LWAMI graphics install?

The first thing I would consider is grahphics card driver version. It can be too old, ... or too new! Sometimes the driver developers make a boo-boo and screw up in favour of optimizing for newest of the newest popular games. Try the latest drivers, and when they do not work step back incrementally in version numbers until it works.

Yeah. It's definitely not LWAMI. I can't step back my graphics driver either because I have too many applications and games that require the new one.
