Screenshot taken whilst playing on the escape server a few minutes ago.



Will post up some more screenshots as I take them. I was playing S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Shadow of Chernobyl earlier and got some really weird stuff happening.

If anyone's curious, it's because of my graphics card.

It's malfunctioning on everything at the moment, and if I didn't disable BSOD I'd be getting bluescreened every five minutes or so.

And no, it's not the drivers. I've updated them three times now and it doesn't make a damn bit of difference.

My computer is broke. :crying:

[Havok]

This happened just now. Trying to fix it...



And no, that's not my usual colour scheme.

Those colours are cooler than mine when my graph card want to play with me. for me sometimes half textures are black. not funny colourfull.

Have you tried pulling the card out of the slot, giving it a good dust off via compressed air can and putting it back in? I'm no hardware expert or anything, just a thought.

What kind of card might it be?

[Havok]

Can't be arsed to type it out.



Bought it around...hm...must be about a year now.

Was new when I bought it, and it was pretty cheap (£70/~$140)

Haven't had any problems other than the occasional screenspike when it needs updating. Other than that they tended to go away when I updated the drivers. This hasn't.

P.S. Will try cleaning it today. Have some PC hoover attachments or whatever.

EDIT: This is what I mean by "weird pixel patterns:"

Cleaning it would be your best bet. If that doesn't work take to your nearest Circuit City or Radio Shack and have them take a look at it.

Took the computer apart and got the kit out and cleaned every bit of it, but nothing.

I think I'll just save my money up and buy a new computer. I mean, this is a few years old, and pretty crap.

The only annoying thing is is that James still hasn't made his ****ing mind up about selling his old one. So I have to wait about a week to see if he'll let me buy it instead (because he's a self-centred greedy neurotic bastard that has no idea what things are worth).

[Havok]

Better example of the weird funky patterns. :001_cool:

*GASP* the server admins only section doesn't exist. There's treachery afoot.
