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...

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      When you crank your car, and hit it with a timing light, can you see a steady crank timing?

      Oh, forgot to add, A few months ago I was getting mixture codes and the car was using crap loads of fuel. You could smell the unburned fuel in the exhaust, it was crazy strong. Economy was over 17.5 l/100 and usually around 19. I smoked the engine and found a leaky CCV hose which I replaced and then I replaced my two pre cat O2 sensors, I also replaced the MAF. This fixed my mixture codes and improved my exonomy but I'm still 14 - 15 l/100 when pottering about town so something is still amiss. Throttle response is much better and it has more pep but I'd like to know why it's still so thirsty (and I'm hoping that whatever it is gives me a bit more poke).

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Hello all, currently finishing up a rb25 swap into my s14. Having issues with starting, car has spark (confirmed by pulling a plug and watching it spark), has fuel(confirmed by checking pulse/voltage at injectors all spark plugs are soaked in fuel). Car cranks over and pops into the exhaust with a heavy fuel smell but no attempt to start or run, I have torn the timing cover off and triple confirmed timing, turned the CAS in multiple spots both directions, attempted to start with coolant temp and maf unplugged, checked my fuel lines and made sure they weren’t backwards, checked voltage at cas/injectors/coilpacks, made sure all the grounds in the harness are connected and added a few grounding straps (1 from chassis to block, 1 from chassis to head, and 1 from chassis to igniter chip) I am getting stumped here. As a last ditch effort I made a full grounding harness tonight that’s going to run from the battery and add an extra ground from the battery onto the coil pack harness/igniter chip/ intake manifold/ Wiring specialties harness ground/ and alternator. I’m hoping maybe the grounding harness will fix it here but posting here to see if anyone has any other ideas on what else I can check. My fuel pressure is unknown right gauge will be here tomorrow.  IMG_3206.mov

      yeah I was shocked when I checked my spare OEM on and as below that's how they come from Nissan. (side interesting note new NEO gearbox and replacement park lack the brass bush on the tips and its just all alloy) unsure about damage to the box currently back at 1110 to be pulled down/inspected and selector fork replaced as he built it previously and given the never before seen failure on his billet forks he is replacing it under warranty. He said he has used always OEM the keyway tab without issue for years so it could be an unlucky coincidence. I did talk to him about the sharp corners and stress concentration too. Re: hard shifts i got 7+ years out of the OEM one and the fork itself failed not the keyway. so could be bad luck as I said or an age thing + heat cycles in box and during fabrication of billet?
