Graphical bugs

[melted349 43]

I mentioned earlier updating the server to the latest beta release and your client to the latest beta released fixed this issue for me and one of my buddies. Can anyone else confirm / check this?

Our Server, US 863, is running latest beta if you need a server to join.

Latest BETA: 95417

reinstall your video card drivers...fixed the issue for me...they were up to date but reinstall them any ways.

My card: radeon 5770

I can now go into the NW Airfield without any issues! keep up the ok work Devs, there is nothign wrong here, move along.

Well, there clearly is....:disbelief:

[Miltrivd 17]

Where: Berezino (the entire city and towns around). I also had them in Stary Sobor. Basically, looking at a city or any concentration of buildings, when it was 1 or 2 houses it usually didn't happen. In berezino was the worst, I couldn't see the city from 700 m. away.

Object: Usually buildings.

Screenshots: There particular screenshots show the worse kind and all I had while looting Berezino Military Camp, the only way was looking at the sky towards the hills and walking bakwards in 3rd person until I could fit through the entrance of the tents, once inside the tents everything was back to normal until I went outside again.Once leaving the camp I was still having artifacts all over unless I was looking directly at the sky, After passing the helipad I could go back to looking up but with the camera able to watch ground level.

they have found the issue and are working on it.

this fixes it in the mean time Video options -> Advanced -> Video memory -> Default

[jetao2008@hotmail.com 175]

So, just wondering, will this be fixed in the next hotfix (1.7.2.5)? And if i may ask, when should we expect to receive it?

[Ajvkorn 72]

I played for over 3 hours after doing the video memory--> Default. No artifacts when ever I go near soldiers or a big city. I was also at the airstrip with ZERO problems, although it finally got dark, I logged out to change servers, came back and fell off the tower and broke my leg and died, haha. Still, if you guys haven't tried going to Options-> Video-> Advanced-> Video Memory: Default , try it.

[Sokratesz 3]

Where: NWAF barracks.

Object: Seems related to the bodies on the ground (not zombies that we killed, those that are just part of the scene).

Screenshot of bug:

2 - http://img266.images...12/glitch02.png

I have ones similar to these, near the balota airfield. They appear when looking in a certain direction but will disappear when you look away slightly. They appear to be pointed ' towards' some object but quickly clutter the screen. I've had them on several different occasions when visiting the airfield, but sometimes they aren't there.

How can I take a screenshot when not using Steam? prtscrn just returns the desktop...

Locations vary, they are anywhere there are dead army soldiers on the ground. Im on green mountain right now and theres army soldiers up there too that glitch. This has started since the last patch but i can verify this is happening at cherno, elektro, stary sobor, balota air field, green mountain, and probably anywhere there is a dead army body object...... I have images on my steam account for public viewing. and two shots showing a before and after while looking at a body. This always happens when looking at or in any direction of a dead body..... My Steam account name is Eclip53 for my screens.

Prior to the update, I had these graphical glitches sometimes, when finding wire fence that was intersecting with buildings or other geometry, now, they're everywhere and they make the game unplayable.

It seems to be related, as many have said, to some of the corpses and also the wire fences and tank traps.

Yes, steam makes it easier to take the screenshot, but since i wasn't using it, i just switched to windowed mode to make the print screen.

All i want now if possible is some ETA on the next hotfix to solve this issue, so can keep testing and playing!

The problem is eliminated if a few times looking at the bug to change the settings of video memory.

I had it really bad last night, logged out at Balota med tents. logged in today and its perfect?

NW airport. While entering the wall from the NE of the airport, crazy texture glitch would happen as soon as I would look south (170 to 190°) covering all the screen. Quitting the game entirely then login back in got rid of it.

No screenshot.

Bring on War Z imo. DayZ is fun for sure, but if they don't get their shit together and get this standalone version in the works, this game will be a wasteland while War Z capitalizes. Gotta love competition in any market.

[Ayashiki 2]

Would just like to note that certain other areas that I had absolutely no problems with previously that others don't seem to mention here have started artifacting for me since the last update: The hospital in Berezino, the warehouse by the docks at Komarovo (from the tower in the hill to the northwest,) the control tower itself in Balota airfield, as well as the standard anywhere with military corpse objects placed in the world. I may just have never seen the artifacting I've been notcing at these other locations because they contained wire fences or tank traps that everyone else seems to be having a problem with, I never actually entered them to make sure.

A few solutions I've found worked at least temporarily on certain objects (the ones i can get near without risking being lost in polygonland): restarting the game client, switching object detail to "low" down from high, turning AA up to at least 5x, up from it being off (don't generally give a crap about jagged edges running games at 1920x1080), turning AA back off.

I've only been able to test these on the buildings that seem to be artifacting specifically for me and the people I play (Komarovo warehouse, Balota control tower, Berezino Hospital,) because they seem to artifact less and I'm more inclined to approach them and less afraid of being trapped in a triangle wonderland.

Specifically I played with all of the graphics settings looking at the artifacting from the warehouse in Komarovo (could have been a wire fence or something inside doing it). Interestingly as well, looking at the artifacting coming from that building with a range finder caused it to not display, at any angle, but looking at it through any other means (third person, zoomed third person, scoped, zoomed up in a scope, first person, zoomed first person, regular binoculars) all had artifacts showing up... Curiouser and curiouser.

Ok guys. I need to collect some data. For future fixes.

What i need:

- where

- object

- screenshot of bug

Thanks.

All 3 pictures are the same location, inside a red brick house in cherno at the east side. Just the angle is slightly different.

I also get

> Anywhere where barbwire is placed

> Barbwire

> Artifacts, didn't take a screenie of this yet.

Note: I'm getting a completely different issue in these 2. The first can't really be called artifacts, while with barbwire i just get generic artifacts like everybody knows them.

Both of these issues have been happening since the latest patch/beta build.
