graphic glitch

valdiorn · Post by **valdiorn** » 13 Nov 2004, 21:48

Ok so I know this belongs in the help forum, and I posted it there also, but I never get replys there... just bear with.. don't close the thread immediately..

my textures in underground 2 are all messed up. At first they looked like they're supposed to, but after I launched the game for the 2nd time they got really bad. the sky and street tex's are pixelated and ugly + some other textures, like posters on walls and advertises around the city (I notice this very clearly on the billboards at the racing circuit)

screenshot:

(notice the extremely pixelated street and the pixelated sky texture + back of traffic light)

It wasn't like this when I first started the game, and the Demo isn't like this...
I've tried every setting in the display options, tried manually overriding anisotropic and AA but nothing seems to work :S
I have a Geforce FX5600 with latest drivers

can you help me fix this.... ! please

dude i had the exact same problem... i have a geforce 5900...... when i saw this i was like wtf.... but this is what i did and it was ok... go to nvidia.com, and download the latest drivers...

http://www.nvidia.com/object/winxp_2k_66.93

this just came out november 9th...and that should work... i also downlaoded the patch... and now my fps and graphics quality improved by a lot

i hope that works...

Restarting your computer works too. I had this problem too, and many more.

valdiorn · Post by **valdiorn** » 13 Nov 2004, 23:10

crap, the driver doesn't change anything

I tried the new driver and some old drivers as well, restarted 10 times, uninstalled and reinstalled 2 times, uninstalled the demo... but it's still pixelated

do you have some other suggestions for me?? The game looks really bad and it's not really fun to play like this

I had that problem too when I first started the game and what I did is I got out of the game and relaunched it and it was gone

but I see you've tried this so I'm stumped now

marshallpre1 · Post by **marshallpre1** » 13 Nov 2004, 23:37

yea same here...

i dont know what to tell u

valdiorn · Post by **valdiorn** » 13 Nov 2004, 23:39

Yay... not.. I thought it was OK after I installed the new drivers and tuned some things. but the next day (today) it was all f**ked up again

I tried reinstalling the driver and doig the same thing as I did before. but it doesn't work, seems it was only a coincidence..

Have you ever seen such a bug/glitch before in any game?? can you tell me what is going on?? (basically the textures aren't displayed correctly, making them look aliased and 'jiggy' )

I'm getting the same problem; it's not an nVidia specific issue it seems - as i'm running a ATi Radeon 9600XT;

just out of interest - what motherboard chipset do you guys have - wouldn't happen to be an nforce2 would it?

Moosehead115 · Post by **Moosehead115** » 15 Nov 2004, 06:25

Nforce 2 same problem, GF4 TI 4600
Athlon 2700+
oldish drivers (dont bother updating except for compat it just hurts my card more then helps usually, due to optimising for new cards)

I managed to fix the problem by forcing on AF in my card settings, i'm sure i fiddled with the ingame graphics settings alot too. try playing with the ingame graphic filtering options, none, full on, as well as at the same time fiddling with the control panel overrides.

No that's not enough... I've tried running the game a million times.. this just pops up randomly (or should I say, it works right one in a while

). If I screw with the graphic settings in the Nvidia properties window I sometimes get it to work right..

My friend has the same problem and he has the same graphic card (absolutely identical).. he hasn't gotten it to work either

PSZeTa · Post by **PSZeTa** » 16 Nov 2004, 02:19

Did the restart your computer thing work..?

Kilkenny · Post by **Kilkenny** » 16 Nov 2004, 10:17

I have the problem too, I have a ATI Radeon 9700 with a AMD Athlon XP 2000+ and 768 MB RAM. It's a 128 MB Graphic Card, thinking of buying a new Motherboard with a 3600+ AMD Processor and 1 GH memory, hopefully this helps

I had the same problem, here's how you can fix it.
You gotta uninstall the game, uninstall the drivers.
first install the drivers, then the game.
then it should work, at least, it worked for me since...

EDIT: apply the v1.1 patch or download the v1.1 NO-CD .exe and the problem is solved too

Cypher · Post by **Cypher** » 16 Nov 2004, 15:16

I had the same problem on GeForce 4 Ti4400 128MB.
I have almost the latest drivers (some 66.xx I guess).
But it was on the first launch, I restarted the game and since then I didn't have such glitch anymore...

Sweeper · Post by **Sweeper** » 16 Nov 2004, 15:25

Can't remember seeing this glitch myself when playing, I will double check and see if I got the same.

yes,thats not enough,i was mistaken.it doesnt metter what card you have,so you dont need to write..i have radeon ..i have nvidia and so on...
Sometimes nfsu2 runs ok with good graphic,somtimes terible...last 2 days i playd with this bug.i formated my hdd,i have no cd 1.1,but it still runing bad...
so who knows 100% how to fix this bug?
very very sorry 4 my english

Morning · Post by **Morning** » 18 Nov 2004, 01:12

well, i had pixelated graphics and stuff but changing the ingame option - Texture Filtering - fixed it, and i have no where near a good gfx card, a GF2 MX200. Someone mentioned this earlier, but don't know if you tried it. Anyway, I hope it works....

2furio · Post by **2furio** » 18 Nov 2004, 02:21

Sorry if I repeated anything....
I had the same problem when I first started
First of all, if you have XP SP2 (Service Pack 2) installed, the firewall will first ask you if you want to allow the program to continue. This pops up while you are in the game, so you don't actually see it until you press Alt+Tab or something like that to exit out of the game, but still have it running.
If it's not that, check that you don't have any other programs running, like Media Player and so on and check that you allow the program to run if you have any firewall.
After all of this is done, restart the game and it should work.

Do NOT install Omegadrivers (unless you want I new graphics card )

The drivers have a lot of glitches and I've seen weird things on my screen.

Some games might not work and I didn't see any difference in performance. For example, my Collin Mcrae 2005 game was lagging like crazy until I took the drivers out. In fact it's not a driver glitch, it's a Windows glitch!!!!
