<div class="IPBDescription">bug?</div>So ingame and in menu the game looks grainy/kinda flickery - like hints of tv lines or something is overlayed. is this an effect? or a bug? i looked up flickering bug but apparently that's something else all together with people having black textures flickering.

i'm using the latest catalyst beta drivers with a 7970 hd


any info is appreciated!

    Can you get a SS?

    But honestly many of the bugs people are reporting are brand new to the 1.0 update that launched.

    I'd wait till they fix the Precache bug later this afternoon to see if that fixes any of your problems.

    i marked in red the most prominent part, but there's multiple lines like that crossing down the screen in menu and ingame, it just keeps constantly sliding

    Well on that screen the line your referring to is a fake "TV" effect that simulates a camera vsync line on a TV. this is promenantly used on the main menu While in game in first person you should NOT be getting that.

    I am getting it in game, it's the exact same TV Effect/scan line thing - is there any way to manually disable it?

    Hmm, odd, I'd try turning all graphics settings to off or low, and restart the game, see if that resolves anything.

    If it does, try turning each setting back on and see if you notice a change.

    If it still occurs I'd call it a bug for 227 and hopefully it can get fixed.


    We'll have a much clearer view on whats going on after they fix the new issues that have cropped up in build 227 that didnt exist before then.

    it exists in marine hud, though in my case it is limited to minimap area only.
    any mods?

    yes the UI elements in game should show this effect, however the world around you, the level, the assets in game in the FPS view should NOT have this effect. (which is what I thought he was saying)

    I'm sure there is a LUA somewhere you can edit to turn this off, but no word as of yet.

    nope, fresh install - just weird scan lines and stuff the whole time. i thought maybe it was because of my vga cable but it persists while using hdmi as well.
