thekillingsmiley 18 Posted August 4, 2012 (edited) Quick disclaimer before I get started. This may not work for everyone, but as of right now it is working for me and a friend of mine every time we have used the fix.The graphical glitches/artifacts that have been occurring in DayZ seem to be mainly coming from the dead soldiers placed around military areas. After trying multiple methods to stop the graphical glitches/artifacts, it seems that we have finally struck gold. The temporary fix is done by adjusting your Video Memory setting in-game. Instructions follow:1. Graphical glitches/artifacts appear on screen.2. Hit the [ESC] key on keyboard.3. Select Options>Video Options>Advanced>Video Memory4. Select either Very High or Default for the setting. NOTE: The setting you choose MUST be different from the setting you are currently using.5. Confirm you new settings and exit the Options menu entirely.6. The graphical glitches/artifacts should be gone for now. The do tend to reappear whenever entering a new area with dead soldiers. Simply repeat the steps above to fix.As of right now, only the Very High and Default settings have been tested. The other settings may work just as well, but I can not say for certain at this time. This method of clearing up the graphical glitches/artifacts is currently working 100% of the time that it is being used by me and my friend. I'll update the this post after more testing is completed.Please post below if this method works for you or not. If it does not work, please post your computer specs, video settings in ARMA II/DayZ, and where you were located when the fix failed to work for you.This fix was first started by myself and was later refined by Thievery89. If the fix does help you, then please be sure to thank him as well. Edited August 4, 2012 by I-TKS-I 10 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He has 6970.Unfortunately, I can't get into talking about gpu settings with you due to that this fix is only being used on NVIDIA cards at the moment.Do you know if you were receiving the artifacts from dead soldiers or wire fencing?

Barronism 88 Posted August 4, 2012 There is always flushing.Hit Shift+-- (minus key on numberpad twice) then type flush.Not in chat, just (press)[shift]--flushDoesn't really clear it up, but if you do it a few times it cycles and you can get it to some times clear up enough that you can see. I've gotten quite a few of them to just turn into odd objects that just sit there but dont' spread across my screen. Probably not as effective as restarting or changing graphic settings, but its good for on the fly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This fix is able to get rid of the artifacts in an area that you are in and once the fix is completed then there is no worries of artifacts in that loaded area for the time being. Given this fix doesn't seem to be working with AMD cards at the moment, but it still seems to work quite well for NVIDIA users. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VolatileSilence 1 Posted August 4, 2012 Ive got a 6950 and running everything on highest settings. When the horrible triangles start appearing (doesnt matter what distance they are away) I look directly at the source and change my vsync enabled or disabled (dependant on when it last happened). This has worked for me and my mate every time, hes running a 6850. Be intresting to know if it works for you too. :-D 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
