Artifacting

[guidez 180]

CTRL + Shift + Numpad (-), enters "cheat" mode.

Type on your keyboard: flush

Video memory flushed.

Artificating gone.

[TimKuchiki 9]

Nope.

Wut? I thought flush was a way to remove visual bugs.

[ThatGuyCalledReptile 314]

All flush does is it makes the game re-render the graphics.

You can do the same by turning v-sync on then off.

This fix has been showed before and it hardly ever works.

Wait for the patch.

Antialiasing and anistropic filtering.

I switch em off and then when it comes back to low, then repeat.

Works for me.. Might not for anyone else... just trying to help (:

[thehumandove 344]

you can just SHIFT and - instead. Dont need to press cntrl. Also it almost never works. Out of about 20 tries, it fixed artifacting once for me.

[guidez 180]

Bah, sorry then. I had artificating twice, and it fixed it both times. :/

[TimKuchiki 9]

It only works for some artifacting. Places like the nw airfield don't work.

none of the methods worked for me, but i did manage to get my setup to stop artifacting. i did it by installing the latest armaII patch:

ftp://downloads.bistudio.com/arma2.com/update/beta/ARMA2_OA_Build_95417.zip

definitely worth a shot

I've been having this problem and it was driving me nuts. No way in hell I'm avoiding every city, so I tried this new one today and it's worked since (I tried flush with no luck):

From: http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/59307-how-to-fix-graphical-artifactsglitches/

What I have tried attempting to remedy the issue (and what works):

1. Changing graphic settings (such as turning Anti-aliasing, post-processing and such) on and off, does not work at all.

2. Changing Vsync from On to Off and back again, works in a few individual cases.

3. Changing HDR settings between max to minimum works more oftenly.

4. Holding down shift, pressing the "minus (-)" key on your numeric keypad, releasing and after typing 'flush' works on a few occations (about 20% success ratio for me.

5. Changing your config file by editing: My Documents\ArmA 2 Other Profiles\<Your profile>\<Your profile>.ArmA2OAProfile:

change so

sceneComplexity=1000000;

[TimKuchiki 9]

None of that works.

[Lysander_of_Sparta 43]

Ya, I always turn my graphics down to very low... It usually either completely gets rid of it, or at least makes it bearable. Hope it works out for you!

I still perform the flush command, seems to sometimes help. I was in Stary Sobor, did it, fixed some of the artifacting, did it again, fixed them all.
