mac1_8 0 Posted February 16, 2007 Hey guys I like you all in the UK have been waiting for this game to come out...many a sleepless night was lost to OFP. Installed the game yesterday,day before release,get in! and find that it's not the polished article I would expect from a games company in the 21st century. Game plays fairly smoothly although every so often an anomaly in the graphics comes up and the screen goes into massive grey or white polygons and lines..any ideas?when i move away it stops until i look at that particular area again. Talking mainly about training mission,squad training where you have to use your team to blow up the car. Whenever i get in the APC the graphics go all screwball and lots of different lines andflat grey surfaces show up. I get out and it's ok until i hit obviously another anomaly on the little hill near the waiting point... Also,probably more of a game problem rather than hardware, can anyone get your team to shoot the car up or does a 'GET IN' icon come up instead of a shoot and destroy target reticle come up...also I don't have any ammo!! and can't find any... Sorry if some of this is me being a muppet but I really want to play this game to full potential cos it looks great fun! at the moment,getting frustrated!

mac1_8 0 Posted February 16, 2007 Sorry dude, just realised.... I have a P4 3.2ghz 1024 MB RAM Radeon 9800 with catalyst 7.1 (just updated it) Windows XP Thiank that's all the essential info ya need.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
R3MF 0 Posted February 16, 2007 i have a similar problem: graphics go into a weird black overlay, with cascades of bright coloured pixels defining the characters on-screen in a strange kind of bas-relief effect. C2D 6600 2x 1GB PC6400 XFX7950GT Gigabyte P965 DS4 m/b 24" Dell 2407 (playing game at 1680x1050) WinXP Pro Buld 2600 Dx 9.0c (4.09.0000.0904) nVidia 92.91 drivers cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
R3MF 0 Posted February 16, 2007 after updating to: Feb 07 DX9 93.71 nVidia drivers stopped the above problem. however, after playing perfectly for a while i know get weird LOD glitches where various objects such as buildings, trees and people can be less than 10 yards away and will still display the absolute minimum Level of Detail, as if they were over a kilometre away...

knockedeye 0 Posted February 16, 2007 Like you too, i am having exactly the same problem and am also using a radeon 9800...but i have no idea on how to fix this problem, and it is getting very frustrating.. A temporary solution is to alt tab out of the game to ur desktop and go back to the game, this seems to fix the problem for maybe 10 mins heres a screen where u can actually see something other than grey white and black triangles http://s158.photobucket.com/albums/t90/knockedeye/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Try to open your computer to see that solve the problem. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mac1_8 0 Posted February 17, 2007 Open your computer,how do you mean? Cos im having this same problem with the polygons etc... play with the case off?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OHM 0 Posted February 17, 2007 Open your computer,how do you mean? Cos im having this same problem with the polygons etc... play with the case off?? If you have chassis fans (none cpu or gpu fans) it's a bad idée playing with your chassis open, the air in and air out flow will not work as designed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
