Every time, when i join a game, I get these odd graphics that appear stretched on my screen, and it only recently started happening when the new patch came out ...

    You can start by making those pictures larger.

    Happened in tram after I blinked in this version
    the artifacts were horizontal though, like a big floor poligon floating mid air.

    Was playing on docking now and also got it, without blinking.
    Never happened in any prior versions.

    Thank you for the reports. UWE is aware of some issues with NS2 on Nvidia videocards this build, not all users are affected. The problem is known and will be addressed as soon as possible.

    For now, this can be fixed temporarily by changing your resolution back and forth or alt tabbing in and out of the game (if you aren't using the awesome fullscreen windowed option).

    That might just be your shader cache is corrupted or something, I had this (or something very similar) happen to me as well randomly a week or two ago.

    Try deleting your NS2 cache at: C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\Natural Selection 2\cache - delete all the files in the cache folder. It won't mess with any of your game settings or anything. That fixed it for me.

    Nah that doesn't fix it Rantology, this is a problem specific to 216 so you couldn't have had this one in particular it a week ago.

    Ah sorry then. The problem I had looks pretty much exactly like this, but it was on a map testing build and I think it happened because I force-closed the game when it was in the middle of downloading shaders from the server.. so I suggested the fix I found :s

    If it was on the map testing build it sounds like it muse have been something similar. However I've tried deleting the cache before and it hasn't worked for me. Sometimes the map glitches out, sometimes it doesn't and I've only ever been able to subdue the issue temporarily.


    Also it seems more common on the Nvidia 560 cards, though it has been happening on other Nvidia hardware as well.

    Just reporting, i'm also getting these artifacts.

    Performance is really good but after the second game the artifacts made it unplayable... I was having so much fun I refused to stop playing tho :P


    Anyways, pretty specs would help guys,

    I have a 560 ti with the latest nvidia drivers on a clean windows install


    Running windows 7 pro

    I also have this problem.

    It's not all the time either, most of the times I'm ok. But once I see a texture stretching it gets worse as the game goes on until I can't play anymore.

    I also am using a 560TI

    Oh nice, glad to see it's not just me. I have to say though, this issue is far more common on ns2_veil than any other map for me. Other maps just get some minor glitches with the signs sometimes.
