Hey all,

just got this game recently, so far so good. One problem I have been having is my screen gets messed up frequently which annoys the hell out of me. Im hoping someone knows how to overcome this problem as I cant play certain areas with this problem. Heres a few screenshots of what im talking about

If you can see what im talking about. Theres alot of textures covering up the screen. My computer is a P4 1.8ghz, 1.2gig ram with a geforce 5700GS video card. The game runs fine and no lag at all, this is the only problem i have encountered. Any help is appreciated.

It looks just like a glitch in the game.....

Or maybe your card doesn;t support the needed shaders?

Ok, been playing for a few yrs now and I know that problem well. My brother had it and the only solution we found was getting a different video card. He had a LCD screen which may have been the cause though my guess was faulty card as updating game and drivers didn't fix it. Sorry I'm not more help.

Sadly this is happening to a lot of people (myself included). Somewhere along the lines Blizzard has probably changed the code they use to render things and it seems to be pushing a whole bunch of older cards over the edge and they are flaking out.

When it gets real bad, they will actually lock up and bluescreen/restart.

Sadly - the only way known of fixing it is to buy a new gfx card.

:(

P.S if, like me, you only get it in certain areas, then you aren't safe - First 2 zones in BC suffer much much harder that most areas in non-expansion, and crash me out in minutes. If you want to play BC, you will have to grab a new card.

hey man, its definately your video card. I bought a 6600GT almost a year ago and it came up with graphic glitches similar to that, which ultimately filled up the whole screen with time. I tried about 5-6 different types of drivers and no dice. Only option was to replace the graphics card which I did and who would have thought it worked.

I Currently I have a 7900GT and it works a treat. I'm not sure which models are 'glitch free' but at this time I'd definitely stick to Nvidia. You can always try the official WoW forums, I'm sure there's a pissload of geeks that will willingly give you a list.

Sorry havent been posting in a while, turns out the glitch in the game was because my motherboard was mega shite, and it wasnt letting the vid card work to its full potential, when it got to ares where alot of detail was required the vid card couldnt work hard enough (my own technical terms >_<). Cheers for all the advice, i upgraded the mb and all is sweet now

ps. i only got to lvl 30somehting before i stopped playing, im gonna close my account, dont have the time/effort to put into the game to get anywhere

I have a better solution, dont play that terribad game, go for something like counterstrike source...

8 million players cant be wrong. WoW kills CSS and any other FPS shooter for that matter. Of course thats just me...

      Fender flare widths across front/back of car

      By AdiR34 · Posted

      Hey y'all! I'm curious about how y'all go about widebodying your cars. I noticed that when running a square setup, my front wheels are a bit more tucked in than my rear wheels. Not by much, maybe 5-10mm. This leads me to wonder - when I widebody, should I use narrower front flares and wider rear flares? I found a set of 40mm rear flares that I really like, and was thinking of pairing them with some 18mm front flares, but I don't want the car to look strange. How have others done this? Note, I'm in a sedan. Thanks!

      Stagea Front CV Axle Question

      And if it was anything other than an auto tranny part, it might be a problem. But seeing as all auto trannies belong in the recycling bin, it's fine.

      Stock rb25det neo questions

      All the schemas I can see, indicate your typical setup of ATF 'cooler' (read: heat exchanger) in the bottom radiator tank..ie; https://nissan.epc-data.com/stagea/wgnc34/5413-rb25det/engine/214/ ...but I can prattle on a bit here. These trannies have a thermistor in the sump ~ the TCU reads this and 1. bumps the line pressure up when the ATF is 'cold' and 2. prevents the TC lockup clutch from operating, until the ATF comes up to minimum operating temp (keeps the ATF 'churning' through the TC so it heats up quicker) -- trigger point is around 55C. In these conditions, the engine coolant temperature rises faster than the ATF temperature, and also helps heat the ATF up, which is why it's best to think of the in radiator tank setup as a heat exchanger ; the heat can flow in both directions... ...with these trannies, the 'hot' ATF comes out the front banjo bolt, flows through the cooler/heat exchanger, and returns to the box  via the rear banjo bolt. This gets a mention, due to the wildly different opinions wrt running auto trans fluid coolers ~ do you bypass the in radiator tank altogether, or put the cooler inline with the in radiator tank system...and then, do you put the additional cooler before of after the in radiator tank system?... ....fact is the nominal engine operating temp (roughly 75C), happens to be the ideal temperature for the ATF used in these trannies as well (no surprises there), so for the in radiator tank system to actually 'cool' the ATF, the ATF temp has to be hotter than that...lets say 100C -- you've got 25C of 'excess' heat, (slowly) pumping into the 75C coolant. This part of the equation changes drastically, when you've got 100C ATF flowing through an air cooled radiator ; you can move a lot more excess heat, faster ~ it is possible to cool the ATF 'too much' as it were...(climate matters a lot)... ...in an 'ideal' setup, what you're really trying to control here, is flash heating of the ATF, primarily produced by the TC interface. In a perfect world, wrt auto trans oil cooling, you want a dedicated trans cooler with builtin thermostatic valving - they exist. These should be run inline and before the in radiator tank system ~ when 'cold' the valving bypasses the fin stack, allowing the ATF to flow direct to the in radiator tank heat exchanger, so it works 'as intended' with helping heat the ATF up. When 'hot' (iirc it was 50C threshold), the valving shuts forcing the ATF through the cooler fin stack, and onto the in radiator tank heat exchanger...and you sort of think of it as a 'thermal conditioner' of sorts...ie; if you did cool your ATF down to 65C, the coolant will add a little heat, otherwise it works as intended... ...the 'hot' ATF coming from the front bango bolt, is instantiated from the TC when in use, so all/any flash heated oil, flows to the fluid-to-air cooler first, and because of the greater heat differential, you can get rid of this heat fast. Just how big (BTU/h) this cooler needs to be to effectively dissipate this TC flash heat, is the charm...too many variables to discuss here, but I just wanted to point out the nitty-gritty of automatic trans fluid coolers ~ they're a different beastie to what most ppl think of when considering an 'oil cooler'... /3.5cents
