Weird graphic problems

Weird smth

started to happen after i updated ATI 9.5 video driver

(see those black spots) It is kinda annoying, temperatures was ok

I don't know why, similar black terrain, building errors i had before in map Karbala. Now i just never play that map :P

If it happend after you installed a update than you can always downgrade. GPU updates don't always fix problems and usaully cause problems.

HD 3850
amd x2 6000+
asus m3n78 pro
2gb ram

well i could downgrade, but for suprise, now i can play karbala, i get these black spots on ground, but no black terrain, building bugs.
Only that black building, terrain happened in few maps, but black spots in every map
Ill check tomorrow with cool pc, to find out if it could be heat problem.

Yeah and as i played karbala there were no weird player bugs with hands in air, screen shot was taken from Mestia

Need to change some 3d settings or try a new file driver version.
Deleting the shader cache folders might help.

I had same problem change a graphic setting in the game. Go into a server and let it optimize shaders, you can then change it back if you want. Solved the problem for me, also check if Catalyst AI is enabled.

Tried that AI enabling and changing settings, the black spot problem has stopped, as far as i know ( havent played Mestia again yet)
Still saw that strange player bug in Insurget map (might be because of playing nonstop for too long - heating)
Thanks anyway!

Same Card same problem, i had it on all maps after i maxed out thee settings as it was a new card and wanted to test, i then tried lowering the settings on the card and manually upping the fan speed for a bit to cool the card, it seemed to work. i have now lowered the settings as they seemed to cause a lot of CTD's. Anyone with the same card i would be interested to see your best settings at a stable condition.
