Screen Glitches - 3/21/2013
|
The issues I'm having just started occurring today.
I use Ventrilo to talk to my clan-mates, so as I was loading up Path of Exile, I accidentally press Ctrl, my push-to-talk key, and my client stopped responding. I wanted to wait to see if it would load, and when it did, my entire screen was flashing different colors on the login screen. I could hear the rainfall as normal, but everything was glitching out enough to give someone a seizure. The second time it occurred was an hour later. I was running Docks with a clan-mate, someone messaged me, so I replied and then my entire screen went a turquoise color with lines all across. I could still move, hear sounds, but my entire screen was consumed with this graphical bug. I just closed the client and I'm waiting to see what's causing it before I try playing again. I don't want to get into a messy situation, have a bug strike, and die because I couldn't see anything. If you think the problem is on my side, please let me know what I can do to fix it. If someone else has already posted this problem, forgive me. It's late and I didn't take the time to search the forums too much before posting this. Thanks! -Slad No mercy for the weak. No pity for the dying. No tears for the slain.

I felt the need to add that I don't think this issue is my graphics card/drivers.
I was playing Battlefield 3 all day on normal settings without a single issue. I also haven't had a single graphical issue with Path of Exile until today, minus the frame lag in large groups. Thanks, again! -Slad No mercy for the weak. No pity for the dying. No tears for the slain.

Does it happen when you aren't running Ventrilo?

" It appears so. It has nothing to do with Ventrilo directly. The loading freezes if I press Ctrl while it's loading. It just crashes the client. The only reason I mentioned Ventrilo is because that is why I pressed Ctrl. There were times in the past that I would accidentally press Ctrl, it would stop responding, but then it would eventually come around and load up. This time, all the graphics were spazzing out enough to give someone a seizure. Like I said, the second time it occurred yesterday, I was typing to someone in-game, not Alt-tab'd and it happened. My entire screen was covered in that graphical glitch. It appears to only happen with Path of Exile since the most recent patch. -Slad No mercy for the weak. No pity for the dying.

The main reason I was asking is that a lot of those "chat" software programs can do what they call "overlays" which attempt to render themselves into your screen (for icons, status, etc).
A lot of times those "overlays" can be incompatible and can cause rendering issues since they insert themselves into the rendering pipeline. So I wanted to make sure that it wasn't some other software attempting to overlay into Path of Exile. | |
" The shape of the graphical glitch was sort of like a trapezoid. I'll play for a little bit and try to recreate the graphical glitch if I can, and screen shot it for everyone to see what I mean. -Slad No mercy for the weak. No pity for the dying. No tears for the slain.
