Garbled textures and text

[Helldesk]

Running on Windows XP SP2, Forceware 169.21, GF 7600GS.

Spring test shows the following:


Ingame looks like this (cropped to fit imageshack):


This might be some odd NVIDIA driver problem, but it looks the same on my secondary monitor that is driven with integrated graphics (G33 chipset, Intel's GMA 3100). Quite often Spring test just hangs though. I was able to join an online game and observed just fine, other than that all of it looked like a bad acid trip. This may not be a Spring-specific problem, I'll try and see if I can find other games exhibiting similar problems.

If any of you have encountered this before, I'd appreciate your insight.

Indeed hardware of nvidia driver issues spring to mind, but this is very rare. It looks like the errors people get when something nasty is happening in their motherboard and they get random lines on their screen and a few weeks later either the lines are so numerous as to be unusable of the mobo goes bang.

Yeh i have exactly the same problem, i've tried install before a few months back, i was using older drivers and the game ran (some graphical glitches otherwise fine). I'm using a NVIDIA GeForce 6150se nForce 430.

Maybe something to with the new 0.76b1?

It is a driver issue, go back to ForceWare 163.x

Solved it - I just adjusted "Image settings" from "High performance" to "Performance" in the nvidia control panel. The odd thing was it affected the third display as well, and that was not nvidia hardware or drivers, but an Intel IGP!
