Graphical Glitch? What?

(1/2) > >>

nekonoai:
Every so often, maybe when i've been playing too long, my game will get weird black triangles and parts of people will start disappearing.

What the hell causes that? graphics card overworked? game asplode?

jsalemi:
I'm going to bet you have an nVidia card.  That seems to be an ongoing problem with some versions of their drivers.

nekonoai:
Yep. Nvidia Geforce 8600 GT... using the drivers it came with. :P

It doesn't happen ALL THE TIME... like 1 out of every 8 times I play. but especially if I play for a long time... and/or sometimes i'm doin other things like watching videos etc... I generally play in windowed mode and multitask when i'm not shooting pictures for the storyline.

if it goes too crazy, i save n quit... and it's usually fine when I bring it back up. so I don't really care. I just wondered what caused it is all.

Does it look like this?
I do NOT have a Nividia card, but an ATI Radeon 9600.

toad in the hole:
Unfortunately I'm familiar with the nvidia issue as well.
Newer forceware versions (plus the blurry textures configuration fix at MTS maybe) resulted in various crashes and glitches for me:
Black faces on sims, weird triangles everywhere, furthermore an apocalyptic neighbourhood screen in purple and black, crashes to desktop or a sudden computer restart.
After removing forceware plus the settings folder and reinstalling my (very) old drivers the problem seems to be gone, but the performance is still kind of shaky sometimes.
