graphic bug on the strategy map?

**cowhunter** · 02-03-2007, 22:22

hi there,
I installed the 1.1patch and got now ugly horizontal stripes on the strategy map.
unfortunately I'm not allowed to send you a link with the screenshot....

I'm using catalyst 6.2 and had never any graphic problems with version 1.0.
Is this a known bug or are there any workarounds?

Add anopther post wit the link, ou can't put a link into your very first post on these forums but you can add it in your second or subsequent posts. Sounds like your Graphics card is overheating though to me...

I don't think it's a graphic card problem. I played in skirmish mode for hours and everything was just fine. It looks to me like a texture bug.

artifacting.

ya, either ur card overheating, or they are messed up,

same thing happened to alot of people with the 7900 series with NVIDIA. it happend in all graphically intense games. i had the same problem till i bought 2 Zalman fans and installed em. now they run cool as can be. and no more artifacting!

here is the link to their site.

see what fits, then get it. i bet ur problem will go away then.

OR, turn off shadows and HDR. and AA... and pretty much anything cool, to make it so ur card doesnt have to work too hard...

Yep, that looks like artifacting to me too.

It's not really a problem in and of itself but if it gets really bad (i've had my entire screen shift position like a bad quality vhs tape) it's a sign of overheating.

Give your graphics fans a clean and see if it disappears (i have to do that, now i remember :D )

ITs not artifacting. It only occurs in certain parts of the map. I have the same problem and I know my card is fine, trust me on that. It only happens at the very top of the map and at the very bottom. Almost as if the map is tearing.
