    Artifacts galore

    I bought bf2 deluxe edition a few days back. Runs at a pretty solid 60 - 45 fps in a full 64 server with 1600 x 1200 and everything on full accept effects and dynamic shadows. However i get alot of artifacts atm. Some textures that sort them selves out when i get closer (rendering issue?) and just sometimes large surfaces of pixels where there should be no texture (propably a shader that i can see because of the pixulation) My hud, crosshair *not that i use one you understand *, weapon select menus, effects, all sorts goes arcifacty on me. Are of course no issues when it comes to models

    I previosuly had a downloaded and cracked version of bf2 that i donwloaded to see if it was worth buying the game (which it sure was) and i had no problems with that version so its not a hardware issue. This version came as 1.3 so it could be that. Also I dont think my shaders are optimised after making changes to my settings, at least it dosnt say they are. Prehaps there is a console command to optimse shaders during a map load ?

    here an example though im sure you guys know what im talking about



    You can see the water is messed and the top half of the hud. Often its alot worse and the entire hud will just turn to pixels

    im running

    7800gtx 512mb
    2 gig ram
    athlon 64 dualcore 4400

    If avoidable i would like to stay away from changing gpu drivers because the ones i have atm (though not the newest) are by far the most stable, run all my games (accept bf2) without any issues, give me about a 15 - 20 fps boost for cod2 than all other drivers i have tried


    Thanks for reading

    Check your temps while playing when your experiencing artifacts

          not a bad card, like i said ran fine with cracked version and all other games. Temp averages about 46 n tops off at about 53, could be better buts it not painfully hot

          psu is 650 watt (server class)

            We need temp while you are running the game, not idle temps. Maybe its punishment for using an illegal copy of the game instead of the demo to try out the game :p

            The problems you are having look like classic syptoms of overheating/psu problems, even if you say the illegal version worked.

              those temps are whilst playing the game.

              Card ran at pretty much same temp with cracked version and no probs / psu has about a spare 100 - 150 watt to play with

              Game companies and their nasty trick of having the best in the demo n all the shat when you actually buy it, very few games i would by on merit of a demo (cod1 an exception to that rule)
