Problems with B&W2..Lionhead said its the drivers

tornadog · Oct 8, 2005, 07:45 PM

I posted this on the B&W2 forums and they say its a driver issue. I have tried every 5.9 release out there and it still persists. Its more prominent on the creatures and the white good dude.

Oh my system specs: AMD Athlon XP 2500 at 2.2 GHz, 1 gig DDR Ram, X800 Pro vivo flashed to XTPE, Win XP SP2

Do you use Temporal AA or Adaptive AA ? If so try turing them off

tornadog · Oct 10, 2005, 04:22 PM

no I didnt use both. When I turn AA on like someone suggested the effect is reduced but not fully gone.

I see you have a pro x800 and your running it with a flashed xtpe bios.
it could be your MEMORY is flakeing out due to presure....

check your DDR and tell me if its 2.0ns or 1.6ns that, that card is useing.
you will have to remove the card and heatsink to tell me though lol

use a overclocking tool like ati tool and reduce your DDR clocks about 10mhz
then try the game again. you should see that there is no problems now.

its 1.6 ns and no setting the clocks down didnt help. Thanks for the suggestion though.

Hmm, looks like an overclocking issue. Possibly due to the flash as Virus2k pointed out.
What are your temps like?

V-Sync,, try it on "always on" in the ATI CP, CCC, or as i do in ATI tray tools, i played for a bit last night and got this tearing effect, locked the v-sync and it seems to have helped out, i didnt get to play for more than an hour though, goood luck
