Dead pixels all over screen.

Post » Wed May 16, 2012 2:00 am

Upon actually getting into the game and playing, theirs a bunch of dead pixels everywhere.. sometimes its bad, sometimes its good. Its just completely random. I find that alt tabbing and switching back randomly will either reduce it to only one area or make it worse. Its playable when its all in a corner of the screen but other than that, its pretty bad and makes an otherwise fine game unenjoyable. Heres a picture. If anyone can help, that would be great.

Artifacts caused by bad overclock or faulty graphics memory. Run one of the benchmarks (Furmark) and see how it looks then. Also make sure your drivers are up to date.

Other than monitor issues its sounds like artifacting. Have you checked your GPU temps and/or reduced any overclock you have?

May be you are able to run the game at insane fps with your machine. Try to turn VSynch on. If that doesn't help, have a look at your graphic card's temperature. If that doesn't help either, have a look at this http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1257882-patch-1-unofficial-bugfix/

Check your monitor connection, especially if using an hdmi cable. Sometimes they get loose and can wiggle, and will cause pixels to be blue or other colors.
