This game is going to give me a seizure...

[permaphrost 12]

Whenever I'm playing I always get these crazy graphical glitches that just spam all over my screen.

Uploaded a video of what I'm seeing. Obviously it makes it very hard to play. This happens everywhere, but is a lot more prevalent/noticeable in the cities.

Yeah, yeah. I know it's an alpha mod. Just curious if this is on my end or the mod's end.

Anyone know what settings I can use to eliminate this, or does it happen for everyone?

It happens. I close the game and then its fine.

I normally only get this from player-placed obstacles such as concertina wire and only when viewed from a distance. I don't know what to tell you other than to just try not to look at the point of origin :/

happens to me every once in awhile - not so much after the last 2 patches though

on a side note you loaded into that server very fast

The last time I saw glitches similar to this, I used an nvidia card. If your card is oc, try setting it back to factory clocks, or try downclocking it. Usually this indicates a bad card or defective vram.

Certainly seems like a graphics card issue, though I've had no problems in the seven weeks I've played (2600K/GTX680). Fire up EVGA Precision or MSI Afterburner and monitor your temps and vram usage. If your temperature is over the norm (85-90C max or so for Nvidia, depending on the card), pull it out and blow it out with compressed air. The intake end of the heatsink may be clogged with dust, and the gpu would receive no airflow. Disassembly may be required for a thorough cleaning, but it's well worth the effort.

If your vram is maxed, drop your settings a bit. I recommend lowering (I turn it off) post-processing, and as a pleasant side-effect, low blood vision-blurring will be eliminated.

Good luck.

Try getting out of the city. These graphics glitches are, in most cases, tied to a glitch with barbed wire fencing.

i thought it was artifacting when this happened to me all temps normal then 3 of clan mates came to same spot and happened to them it was game issue not us

I get them occasionally, I have yet to find a way to fix it.

[meta87 25]

Usually this is a sign of a failing gfx card, or overheating gfx card. Also it could be that you have a low end card that maybe can't handle the game?

Of corse it could be that there is wire fencing near by your area as it appears to cause heavy graphical glitches similar to what you are seeing when you get near them for some people.

[Dev (DayZ) 113]

It is from noobs placing tank traps/concertina wire. It does not mean your gfx card is bad/dying like the idiot above me said.

This is why you shouldnt place these things in random areas for no purpose other than to be a douchebag or to try it out.

I am sure they will do a cleanup like they did for out of map tanks/vehicles. Until then try to remove them if you can.
