Title: Graphics Glitches
Post by: Nebu on June 20, 2006, 09:02:58 AM
Is anyone having recurring problems with this game since the most recent update?  I was playing with a couple of friends the other night and both reported major graphics errors occurring after 20-30 mins of gameplay.  The errors were unresolved by driver updates and the two friends have different cards (one ATI, one NVidia). 

Not looking for a solution so much as confirmation that this isn't an isolated event.

What counts as a major graphics error?

I know CoH has never worked well when I try to alt-tab out of it fullscreen on ATI, but it works fine in a window.

Had a couple friends try it out on their computer, and the bottom half of their screen was locked on the first frame they had when logged in.  The top half was fine.

They updated their drivers, problem was solved.

That's all I got.

I am not having graphics problems, however I was getting some rather annoying pauses when outdoors.  I probably should look into updating my drivers as well.

No graphic glitches for me (GeForce 7) but I'm getting the looping sound hang/crash bug on a regular basis. Very annoying, especially when it's in the middle of a battle and I die because of it. At least the old looping sound bug allowed you to keep playing through the looping...

I tried resubbing on a whim and couldn't even login due to some GL fuctions calls or something.  My card is old ( Ati 9800) so I figure that's the issue.  I doubt I'll spring for a new card for just one game but we'll see.

I have a 9800 as well, no real problems with the game...

Though it is harder on my system than CoH was...

I resubbed a few days ago because the ex is playing and we wanted to revisit our characters.  I've still had a few stutters, but things have been smoother.  I have a 9800 Pro, using the Omega 3.8.252 drivers, without any GL problems.

So far, ncsoft has had me do the clean the drivers thing reinstall them and now they wanted me to reinstall directx 9.0c, which I did on my own.  I went from WinXp Sp2 to no service pack and I get annoying directx window of the directx program file window which is empty.  I really hope I get that new computer soon.
