Graphical Issues

[andrewmont 91]

This has been doing my head in recently, is there any fix for it?

[OWDz 1]

I thought I was the only one. Thank god. DayZ is unplayable, and I'm having withdrawals.

[Epsilon 349 33]

this is what it looks like with AA set to 8

[Dr Cheese 100]

I haven't had this problem at all. I've got the -winxp switch on so I wonder if it's direct x related? My graphics card is an old gts250, is it only affecting newer hardware?

[tiptoptopper@gmail.com 244]

Why hasn't a hotfix been released for this yet? The game is unplayable.

[hsmagnet 14]

I was having this problem; I aborted, disconnected, exited game, and then re logged back into the server and everything was fixed.

But this need patched ASAP.

you are lucky

tried restarting client and even the server

got to where if i free looked or even turned more than 30-45 degrees, large curtains of opaqueness would flair out

it is happening all over the map

Barlotifacts airstrip?

http://nl.twitch.tv/joschaap/b/326711437

it is indeed the bodies of dead soldier/zombies causing this (theyre also in the big barn west of balota airstrip)

Man i dont think so, i have GTS 250 too, and i have never got this glitch vefore, It's just a DayZ bug

(All this isn't just targeted at Kevono, just happened to be the person I quoted. This is a shoutout to all whiners and complaining who go beyond actually trying to help. To all those helping find the problem and posting what the staff need to try and find the problem. You guys rock.)

I'm afraid you don't really get the hang of it. The social feedback about how depressing it is not being able to play this game; that should be a heart warming feedback to the developers of both arma and most of all Dayz. Alpha or not, it's hard to hide your feelings when a game like this becomes unplayable. End of story.

Thinker.

Why farm gear when you can farm players..

[Charax 0]

Same problem here.

This is as mentioned before caused by any military environment, soldier corpses or anything similar.

Happens mostly at Airfields or Stary at the tents.

Couldn't find any solution to fix that issue...

[Konvict 0]

The same is happening to me when looting in Military camps at Balota, it fills the entire screen with triangular shapes, unplayable.

[SxyClutch 7]

Same thing is happening to me on every server. Graphical issues near any military tent, or hospital. The flush doesn't really work. And its not localized to one part of the map. Its everywhere, sometimes the game is unplayable. I know it's Alpha and devs are working hard, but please make this priority number 1. Unfortunatly I recruited a buddy to play and the first time he logged in the Artifacting was so bad, it was unplayable and now he will never play again.

[macnana 0]

I lost a fucking bus due to this. Was driving through Balota, suddenly get these artifacts. Had to turn around because I didnt see the road or ANYTHING around me, drive back through Cherno, get the bug again, crash the bus slightly and out of nowhere 2 wheels are broken..

i lol'ed

1. Download NFOpad (Your going to need it to open and edit a file)

2. Right click "edit with NFOpad" - Mydocuments/ArmA2/"yourname".ArmA2OAProfile

3. Once you have open the file scroll all the way down until you see "sceneComplexity="

4. Change the value after the "=" to "100000" (ex. sceneComplexity=100000)

This also worked for me. reduced it from 150000 to 100000 and no more polygons.

[CormacMcarty 9]

Getting this as well.

Could not go into Berizeno at all as a result. Nor could I approach within 500m or so of the nwa.

[Comcastle 12]

Yep, I can add that it's just happened to me today, although it's been at least a day or two since the last update and I hadn't had any problems until now.

First saw a small area of it around NWAF, I restarted the game and it fixed it. Next I saw it in Berezino and it only seemed to effect the centre of the town, so it was probably caused by the tents next to the hospital. I could stand in the supermarket and look at the hospital and the screen goes crazy, look away from the hospital and everything is fine.

Will try the NFOpad fix, see if that works. EDIT- That fix worked for me.
