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...

      Stagea Front CV Axle Question

      Man, different parts but the same numbers is terrible @dbm7! And it doesn't help that most online shops don't list the part numbers at all. They just give a list of compatible models...

      Slow when hot could also be because its getting more dynamic compression, OR things are getting a bit tighter once it is all expanded. If it were an earthing issue, typically I'd expect you to have it have issues all the time. Unless it's really a combination of both things. Where the higher compression, and things being a bit tighter, is giving that bit of extra load and you do need a slight clean up on the cables/connections.

      Stagea Front CV Axle Question

      By dbm7 · Posted

      Yeah, this is one of the most annoying things about nissan part numbers... I've got an unrelated example... Image is of the AT output shaft ~ they have the same part#, but clearly the shaft on the left is beefier design to that on the right ...the difference (essentially) is the 'lighter' shaft on the right, is for engines up to RB25DE (this includes RB20 variants) : the shaft on the left is for RB25/26DET(T)....are they interchangeable? Yes...but obviously one shaft is going to be stronger than the other...and, the lighter shaft is around USD115, but the heavier shaft closer to USD150...same part#... ...epc-data usually tells a tale ~ the amayama listing for 39100-23U60 has a note "Longest side is between 60 and 105 cm" ; no such info is there for 39100-23U70 ...and given the great disparity in price between the 2 parts, it makes me at least curious (to the point of caution) where the 'extra money' went? ...ie; these 2 parts have a cost difference that (to myself at least) isn't explained by 'plastic boot'...ie; with amayama there's AUD700 price difference ...plastic versus rubber?...I'm not seeing it like that...and 60cm ~ 105cm...??...that's a huge disparity....something hinky going on here... I'd try searching by VIN, not model... /2cents

      I don't know for sure, but I'd expect them all to be interchangeable given the diff end and hub end don't move/change between any C34 series. Often Nissan will change part numbers and the aftermarket follows those year ranges; but the original part number change doesn't mean other parts won't fit. The change could be a change in material, internal parts or even just supplier. For example, all the RB gearbox to engine bolts are no longer available and there is a new part number instead. The only change is they went from cadmium plated bolts to zinc plated due to the issues manufacturing with Cadmium. They look different but work the same.

      One year is a bit concerning. Did you try contacting GSP? It says 5 year warranty on the box if I remember correctly. I'm also running their driveshafts on my S2 Stagea.   You could check the part numbers on Amayama for your year. Here's the link for my 1998 which gives the 39100-23U60 part number. Well, that and 39100-23U70. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/epc/nissan-japan/stagea/wgnc34/6649-rb25det/trans/391 What does it say for yours?
