Graphical Glitches (Fixed)

(1/2) > >>

Nameless Horror:
My game has been glitching in weird ways. It was happening before my dad reformatted the computer due to some unrelated problems. It continued, so dad updated the graphics card. It was still happening so I looked into the settings but I couldn't figure out what setting would affect it. The images were taken with anygame starter base game only, no hacks. But I also ran my game with all EPs and most SPs (excluding M&G, Celeb. and IKEA) and it happened there too.

Graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce 7800 GS
Operating system: XP (it's run in administrator mode.)

Liz:
The spazzing triangles (esp. with an NVIDIA) suggests to me that you need to update your video drivers.

Nameless Horror:
Thank you very much!  My dad's the one who knows how to do those kinds of things, so I'll ask him about that.

edit to add missing words

misscatfish:
I had the same problem, and updating my NVIDIA drivers did stop it. I now sometimes get a "blue-screen-with-hourglass" when I rotate the camera, but the game recovers in less than a minute.

Also, since the update, I'm able to run the game on much higher detail settings (and it looks so much better that for now I'm willing to put up with the blue-screen thing rather than back it down to lower settings).

Just out of curiosity, does anyone know if MOAR RAMz would do anything for that blue-screen interruption?

Nameless Horror:
I got the video card updated but the problem still persists. I was wondering if a complete reinstall would help or not.
