cichlidfan Posted September 29, 2011 Posted September 29, 2011 I do not recall seeing this problem after upgrading to 0.9 but recently I have started getting really bad video distortion both in game and in the ME. I have reinstalled a new download of 0.9. Removed, including gutting the registry, the Nvidia drivers and reinstalled v275.33 (problem exists with 280.26 as well). Downloaded and installed a fresh copy of DirectX. Having just recently reinstalled Win 7-64 and everything that goes with that, I am obviously looking for a good target before I throw in the towel and rebuild the thing again. Oh, and of course, I am not seeing a problem in other games....so far! These things pop up while you are just looking at a static image on the ME, sometimes the screens will go blank as if the driver resets and then the zingers are all cleaned up for a little bit before coming back.

cichlidfan Posted September 30, 2011 Author Posted September 30, 2011 Check your graphics card Heat sink for Dust? Nate Thankyou for putting the question mark at the end.;) By the time I posted I was pretty much coming to the 'it's gotta be hardware' point. Dust was not an issue, the card is less than 4 mo. old, but I was starting to like the idea of just reseating it. That seems to have done the trick. I must admit, having spent the '90s working for an OEM and reseating boards thousands of times, it should have occurred to me sooner.:doh: {You should see some of the screen shots I got just before I took it apart.

Nate--IRL-- Posted September 30, 2011 Posted September 30, 2011 Glad you figured it out, I was certain it was hardware related, strange that only DCS exhibited problems. Nate 1 Ka-50 AutoPilot/stabilisation system description and operation by IvanK- Essential Reading
cichlidfan Posted September 30, 2011 Author Posted September 30, 2011 (edited) Glad you figured it out, I was certain it was hardware related, strange that only DCS exhibited problems. Nate I think that it is related to how the graphics are produced. It initially was springing from various items that were probably vector graphics. I was ready to order a new video card. Just before I tore it down and DCS was in modern art land, I brought up ROF and had a mess a soon as the game graphics kicked in. There was no doubt that it was hardware at that point. Thanks again, EDIT: I am blaming it on the artillery practice at the marine base down the road!
