Flickering Gun Polygons

Diesel0ne · 06-02-2007, 03:04 AM

I've had this annoying problem ever since i started playing battlefield (This was after 1.4 was released). Basically my gun model's have flickering seams, this problem only comes into play after installing 1.4 thus project reality is afflicted as well. I can make the problem go away by looking at certain things in game such as the roof in the airport in al-basrah but as soon as i bring my camera back down it comes right back. I've tried reinstalling the game and had no luck with fixing it, this problem is non-existent when my game is unpatched. I've tried every in game setting on every combination possible in hopes of tracking down what is causing as well as playing around with all the settings in my Nvidia and Ati Control panels.

Also i just built a new computer to replace my old gaming machine, went from a Ati X850 XT 256 to a Nvidia 8800 GTS 640 and the problem is still there eliminating the possibility of it just being a driver bug from one GPU vendor. I'm 99% positive that these are not artifacts from something such as overheating as well versed in the art of Computer Cooling.

Here's a short video of what i'm talking about, http://rapidshare.com/files/34752126/sad.avi.html (Posted it on rapidshare because google and youtube butcher the quality)
watch as they go away when i look up towards the roof then come right back when i adjust my view back down.

Does anyone else experience this annoyance?

*edit Also i forgot to mention they only flicker when the gun is in motion, this means that when the gun comes to a rest such as when you are in the prone position any artifacts that are on the gun stay there and do not flicker until you move again.

I take it that no one else experiences this crap?

I get this also.. maybe differently im not sure. Ive Tried Reinstalling all Drivers, changing all game settings, vid settings.

On weapons it flickers constantly very fast..

And on roads on only certain maps it flickers when i move, very fast, hard to capture..

Hey, thanks for replying! I looked around for a while after i made the post and couldn't find anyone else complaining about it but i did watch a few youtube videos and I'm pretty sure i can see it occurring in a lot of the videos, the quality is so bad i can't be sure.

It's weird though, on some maps i don't get it at all, but on other maps it's horrendous. But just seeing that other people are encountering it puts my mind at ease knowing that it isn't my hardware malfunctioning.

Oh cool, was hoping you didnt abandon this thread..... so we have exact same problem? Its so annoying on my m4 and on those roads, aint it? So glitchy looking.

What kind of graphics card do you have anyway?

Diesel0ne · 06-05-2007, 02:02 AM

I'm using a Nvidia 8800 GTX 640 atm. But before that i was using a ATI X850 XT 256 and experienced the same thing with it.
And yeah it does seem our problems are the same, I see exactly what you posted in both screenshots.

Thats strange. Not a graphics card problem....So the game is a buggy p.o.s... Have you tried reinstalling BF2 and PR? I have not, since its huge pain in the butt.

I did turn off all lighting effects, thinking it had something to do with shadows and lighting....but got same thing with guns flickering.

xenimus · 06-05-2007, 03:33 AM

same type of problems on aircraft. Again, its not solid. Flickers really fast.

Yeah, i even used a friends disc thinking mine may have some corrupted files, no dice. And i get them on Aircrafts as well, especially the sides of black hawks on Al-Basrah.

This should only happen on kashan desert as a lot of it has to do with the 4km hack we did. An expected albeit annoying side effect.
