Heya, so i don't really know how to explain this but i get these weird glitches all over my screen when i play the game. The graphics kinda "streches" out over the screen in thin lines. This usually happens after like 3-5 mins of gameplay and then just gets worse the longer i play. Eventually it crashes the game if i play for to long. I think it might have something to with my computer geting warm but i don't know. I don't have any problems with any of my other games. I'm playing on ultra high btw.
It's usually way worse than on this picture, but it's hard to get a screenshots because the whole glitching thing only last for a few seconds at time.

What do? Can't really enjoy the game to much because of this. Thanks for any help and support

I'll look at your link in a bit; meanwhile, what thermal readings are you getting? Those symptoms sound like an overheated video graphics device! I can't get any useful information from that image, sorry. As I said, though, what are your temperatures when these events are happening?

I don't have any programs to check the temprature, a friend of mine recommendet real temp so i guess i'll check it out later if i can figure it out, heh. But if heat is the problem, why does my pc have problems running this game when i can run games with way higher requierments just fine? bumps me out :/

I've had this before, with an older card. It's overclocked/overheated vidcard memory.

Any advice to fix it, or am i just screwd?

I had the same problem so I took my GPU out and clean all the dust off then used RIVA-Tuner to turn the fan speed to 100% and the game hasn't crashed since!

Okay guess i'll give it a go tomorrow then, thanks. And tips about what i should use to clean it though? Does normal paper tissue work? What should i be awere of when "lurking" around in there? Do i have to take the GPU out or can i just clean it while it's inside the cabinet? I've looked inside and done a little work inside computers like 3-4 times but that was years ago with a teacher making sure i did everything right and on really old school computers.

I've only been inside my computer once and i've had it like two years so i guess it's about time. But i'm kinda afraid i'll mess something up.
