Title: More FUBAR Than You February: Graphical Glitches
Post by: kazebird on 2009 February 08, 15:19:29
This month's More FUBAR Than You is a bit late, because I didn't know what to do this month. I eventually settled on Graphical Glitches, as in glitches that have to do with the graphical quality in your game.

I have an example below:

Remember that it will be judged based on comedy. Begin!

Don't know if it's a graphic glitch or a game glitch, those only appear when anti-aliasing is turn on.

I used to get glitches similar to Timoram's with the pools and with window glass.

The gypsy walking through walls was one of the more amusing snapshots I got of the phenomenon.

In my case, the whole issue was solved by turning Smooth Edges on.

Well this isn't really an in game glitch, but I was going through the prepackaged sims in bodyshop...

I know it was probably some catalog reorganization edit I put in that caused it, but it still looked funny enough.
It's too bad my graphics card doesn't give me awesomely fubar glitches- it just makes the screen go dead until I restart the whole computer.

Yeah, it's totally some kind of modern art thing. I think ms. nVidia wants to start a triangularist movement. XD

Or your graphics card REALLY likes M.C. Escher.

The more I look at that picture, the dizzier I get.

Your video card is drunk.

It produced some really advanced ASCII art after this:

(note how in the first pic it doesn't even manage to draw its own window bar?)

and then sent the machine into kernel panic when I tried to reboot. Thanks, Aspyr  :-*

The shiny-looking pattern on the road would move as I moved the camera.  It was really trippy.  Eventually it fixed itself, though.

Jesus!  What video card have you got, anyway?  My old desktop had a pretty awful NVidia card, but I never saw anything like that.  Of course, I never tried running beyond Pets on it....

It's an 8600M GT (256MB); I don't think the card is the problem here =) It's never done this before; rebooting fixed it. The game just has a lot of graphics issues on the mac, on top of the general bugs.

Oh, Aspyr.  At least I've gotten lucky so far....

Long ago, I had the old Gunmod lighting hack installed when I added a new expansion, and the result was that everything turned blinding red with the occasional black patch.  Removing the lighting mod fixed it, but now I wish I'd taken pictures for this thread. :P

I don't really think "problems caused by installing other people's dodgy, non-Awesome hacks" qualifies as a problem intrinsic to the game.

That looks like one of those "hidden 3D image" pictures.
