Texture Tearing, Stretching, and Holes

[Powell (DayZ) 734]

My friend is having some issues that he is blaming on his graphics card.

By what he says, he sees holes in the top of buildings/walls, some things randomly begin stretching (sorta like the wire graphic glitch), and all sorts of "game-breaking" nonsense.

Anyone know the actual cause? Or maybe even a fix?

EDIT: He also occasionally sees the upper right corner of his screen "cut out" by a slash of white

Hey mate,

had the same issue. Turning off AA resolved the problem.

Attempted, told him to do that from the start because it drops FPS...so that can't be it

Mmh, have tried lowering all details and graphical options and then raise it step by step so that you could sort out, wich parameter is responsible for the effect?

I had this happen on one specific server, and I tried to change my graphics to see what caused it. Nothing worked, so I disconnected and rejoined. Nothing.

Then I closed out the game, and totally restarted it. Fixed the problem for me.

It could be the graphics card, though, some intel media chipsets have this issue. AA forced on a graphics card might also do this, but I doubt your friend did that (note: Forced AA will not show up as an option ingame, he needs to check whatever command console he runs the card from, such as Nvidia, Catalyst, etc)

Good Luck.

*It could also be the server, but that is doubtful as it's an easy fix to just change servers and test*
