Strange Graphics Dump

from Sins Forums

Hi, I’m having an inconsistent problem, occurring intermittently; where my graphics "flicker" on and off, sometimes after i have just started the game and other times after long periods of play.

When this "flickering" occurs I usually can see my cursor, but nothing else until I click a blank spot then the graphics return; but not for long, usually until my next mouse click.  I have noticed that the page file is up over 2gigs as well as the total commit charge.  I usually can save the game, but it kind of blows when you are playing multi and have to drop out.

Any guesses?

NVIDIA nForce 580, AMD Athlon 64 processor 3800, ATI Radion 1950X2, 2gigs ram

Drivers?

Well, I thought I was up to date, but I guess another driver set came out on 05mar08. Gona give it a try, to see if that fixes issue.

ok the new driver update of 05mar08 fixed the problem... I guess, the cards were having problems with the anti-aliasing that was going on by default.

Thanks for the help Carbon016, and for the quick response Kryo and Shadow_of_Light.
