gfx problem

galvaniz3 · Jan 29, 2007

im having a problem with some of the graphics. the weapons are blotchy and have black spots on them. also the smoke has rectangular streaks in it. i dont know if this has been covered already but i havent seen anything on it yet. i have a few screenies of it. if someone could help that would be spectacular.

Corrupt game files? Bad video RAM? Overheating? Overclocking?

galvaniz3 · Jan 29, 2007

havent gotten any errors reguarding files thus far. i have a pretty decent video card w/ 256 ram. doubt im overheating being as i live in a frigid basement. and as for overclocking, well 2.4 ghz cpu soo i doubt that.

usually those blocks imply a faulty pipeline on your videocard or overheating but then its usually over the entire screen.

Might be some bad memory :X, if red orchestra is the only game with it, then probably some part (normal memory or vidcard) overheating.

galvaniz3 · Jan 29, 2007

its only red orchestra so i guess it is over heating, ill try cleaning my fans and such.

galvaniz3 · Jan 29, 2007

no deal, cleaned out all my fans and such, its wierd, the first weapons i choose are alright, then if i change my guy or pick up a weapon those weapons are screwed up the smoke is screwed up, and some of the characters look like that. if this is a file problem how would i go about fixing it.

Dumba [cro] · Jan 29, 2007

File problem -> verify game files via steam application, or reinstall. But i still think some part of your video RAM is borked.

galvaniz3 · Jan 29, 2007

ok so it could be my card but its a brand new card got it just after xmas. radeon 9250. anyways i have two questions. if its a card problem how do i fix it? and how do i go about verifing the game files? i dont see any options for it in steam.

galvaniz3 · Jan 29, 2007

oh and how would i go about reinstalling. i went into the system files and hit setup and it says cant find steam.dll

Zetsumei · Jan 29, 2007

contact the creator of the card usually cards come with warranty

, so they will replace it with a correct one

Dumba [cro] · Jan 29, 2007

Yeah, you don't fix that. It's either warranty call, or rubbish bin.

galvaniz3 · Jan 29, 2007

im not so sure its my card anyway because this is the only game ive had problems with. i play wolfenstien et., warrock, cs, guild wars, gunz, etc. nvr once had a problem thats why i want to reinstall the game but i cant figure out how, so if i could get some help with that, it would be wonderful.

Try an earlier driver !

galvaniz3 · Jan 29, 2007

so where would i got about finding older drivers

fiftyone · Jan 29, 2007

Ah, I'm not an ATI man so I'm not sure.

Someone who uses ATI, please step in here.

As a guess, try Omega drivers and look for something that was released about April/May last year, (just after RO).

Its a shot in the dark, but give it a go !

This does sound like a driver problem to me.
Do try verifying your RO game files with the Steam tool provided, before.

Is your card DX9 capable ?
As I said, I' not very ATI...

galvaniz3 · Jan 29, 2007

ok, so i figured it out, went to the ati site and downloaded the latest catalyst software. also got the latest .net framework. seems to be running beautiful now. tnx for you help i guess whoever has the power to do so can close this thread. case closed. but, yeah catalyst is the driver stuff so fifty one you were right.
