Graphics glitch

[Doc. Caliban]

Hello,

 

First of all, I'm sure this is something with my machine and not the game, but I wanted to ask about it here just in case someone has some input.

 

Secondly, I've mentioned it in a mission thread but want it to have more exposure so I'm creating a post about it specifically.

 

 

The issue is that some ground vehicles flicker in and out of visibility due to the skins not rendering. In some cases I see traffic on the road and an occasional vehicle will only be partially skinned, or nearly invisible.

 

Where this became a real problem is during the Courier mission when I couldn't find the broken down vehicle because it was invisible until I got within 20-30m of it, and even then this is all I got:

 

 

The obvious problem is if this had been an enemy unit. I'm worried about being shot down in combat missions by enemy ground forces that I can't see. Literally can't see.

 

It may be coincidence, but I didn't notice the flickering skins on vehicles until patching to 1.0.1. (I'm now at 1.0.1a) Updating vid drives has not fixed this. Next stop: Reinstall the game.

 

Any ideas before I do that?

 

Thanks all,

 

-Doc

it is a problem with some games, reinstalling usually fixes the issues.

I can live with that. If anything, the second opinion on a reinstall is reassuring.

 

I'll post my results back here once I get a chance to do the reinstall.
