Has anyone encountered this odd graphics glitch before?

[Flagg]

So I encountered this strangely persistent graphics glitch. Surprisingly, it remains even if I reboot client/comp. So far,it only happens in one single place: my little island plot. Graphics begin pugging as I step in and remain broken til I recall away. Happens every time. No other player houses or random travelling about somewhere else has produced same result as of yet.

I tested latest WoW expansion with full eye candy and Enhanced client of UO. They both work as normal.

Is this something that sometimes happens to people?;o How to fix this?






Edit,
Using the patcher's Check files-option seems to have fixed my problem! It certainly should have been 1st thing I do, but had forgotten the option for checking file integrity is available.

You got "565 color mode" enabled?

 

[Flagg]

Nope, haven't tried that in a long time. Haven't changed any of my settings of late.

Seen it a few months ago recalling to a house in Luna.

Went away when I rebooted client

 

[Flagg]

My glitch endures client reboot, comp reboot and server reboot it seems..;o

Doesn't happen in any of my other homes. Nor have I yet encountered it anywhere else. Did maybe 6 t-maps, recalling and stuff all over the place. Very strange.

 

[Gilmour]

A guess: It may be corruption in game files. Try validate in launcher maybe by "full file validation" checkbox at the bottom.. or whatever its called.

 

[Lorddog]

do you know if issue is on multiple shards?

 

[Lord Frodo]

Video Card may be getting ready to take a crap. What ever is at that one spot may be overloading it.

I have had this happen before it was a graphics card issue...

 

[Tyrath]

I had this happen before but it us usually when I put my fist through the screen right before it goes black......

Graphics might be on its way out.... Try reinstall the drivers incase

 

[Gilmour]

Since wow is working fine, i guess it might be a directX 8 issue exclusively too, which classic use (though i'm far from an expert in these kind of things),

Last time I had similar issues I had an almost new video card. So we bought a new monitor but the issue remained. While changing the monitor I did notice one of the cats had been biting and chewing on the monitor cable. Well I wanted a larger monitor anyway.

 

[Meltedmantis]

that looks like Vram degradation.... Your Video card is probably dying

 

[Flagg]

If it were video card or video card driver issue, would it really happen only with one game and only in one spot? I've tested few quite recent,eye candy heavy games and they all run fine.


Even in UO, everything else except this spot is fine.

It is alarming to know this -might- well be a Graphics card-issue. But would these really be the symptoms? Would Classic Client of UO really be the one to act out while games such asWoW, Dragon Age Inq. and even EC seem to work fine?

I installed latest Geforce experience drivers&graphics drivers yesterday when this issue 1st appeared. Didn't help. Gonna re-install UO next I guess.

Looks like one of the files which maps that particular area in UO on your system got corrupted.

Silly @Flagg ! It's nothing to do with your video card, the tiny isle is obviously haunted!
Seriously though, I have only seen that kind of thing once and it was when I died in the Eodon 'Kotl artifact' dungeon, the whole screen went like that and it took me 4 attempts to log back in and get my body, finally I had to log into the Classic client and then reboot the PC after I got my stuff back.

 

[Flagg]

@ShriNayne Hahah, I thought of the same!!! D;
tis ghost of some treasure hunter of old hauntin me. Come next chapter of the story, I start seeing that distortion in real life, too...

 

[Clog|Mordain]

Update graphics drivers is where i would start. Then use that validate option on the patcher. Then reinstall.

If none of the above fix it, can safely say your graphics card is on its way out

I've only seen this effect once, I think its a data stream issue that is caused by 3rd Party Programs. Once I was in BT Dungeon on LS standing hidden next to a well known AFK Farmer known to run 3rd party programs and saw the exact same effect,,,but thats Sur Annoying

Issue did appear when I was treasure hunting..and I always use UOAM when Treasure hunting, so there is that.
Other than that, it ever appeared in one spot only;my tiny island refuge. Regardless of wether I use UOAM/Assist, or wether I reboot computer etc. It began at the same day they turned housing decay off for awhile, I kinda tinfoiled that this might have caused it somehow.

At any rate, checking file integrity via launcher was all that it took to fix it.
