hey i was just playing NFS UG and all of a sudden the game just dies in a really messy manner im at my destop after and its droped to 640x480 (the res the game was in) and there are odd little gfx glitches on all the buttons and icons i reseted and every thing is fine but some of the icons are still green not all of them though 😵 theres a screen shot...

PS. im using a Radeon9800 Pro and i have had this game shutdown like this before only it never messed up the gfx (gee maybei should take a hint? EA YOU DIE NOW! lol)
 
True, I like Medal of Honor, but I have to say it, EA you suck.

Did you try restarting the computer, did you try going login on on safemode, reinstalling drivers.
 
thanks for the timely response 🙂

Egale, im using the 3.10 cats and, I was running 640x480 because the mentioned game is horribly coded and doesint run well even on my machine, it runs fine with AA x6 and AF x16, 1024x768 custom detail max (I dont use the blur makes it hard to drive at 300+ kph 🙂 ) and with these settings i often still get tearing but then my FPS drops to like 15-20 range when i hit water or high traffic areas but, anyway i have gone on to long.

Evdawg, i was not in safe mode my destop was in 1024x768 just the game botched that read the above, oh and i use every one of those icons on a daily basis.

VIAN, I think MOH is a great game aswell, I restarted it twice and powered it down for a half hour before I even posted, and i honestly dont think its the drivers because there was no graphics curruptions what so ever those green things if u look are actually icons i just dont know how they got there, btw they faded throughout the night but i still want to know what it was the tech whos house im at right now says not to be to worried bacause 1. my cards still on warranty and 2. because it doesint sound like m ore then a software botch job. 🙂

 
argh other games are quiting now there not messing with the gfx but its really anoyying to be doing well in a game and plup ur back on ur desktop i mean @#$@ its like using a mac!

LOL!!

 
Download TweakUI from Microsoft (even though it says NT it will for for 2000/XP) and in there there should be a feature to Rebuild Icons. Run that and see if it fixes it.

Cheers!

thanks for the idea but the problems not the icons now its all gfx intensive games crashing after a few minutes of playing
 
HEAT can be a problem !! make sure thats not it!!! and that game runs bad on your machine because its a Nivida ( The Way its ment to be played ) GAME !!! EA signed a deal with Nvidia and Code all there games on Nvidia Graphics cards so they run the best on them ATI cards are left without any coding and thats why they slow down like a geforce2mx
 
actually i still get tearing in some areas its just got some bad "patches" whare i my fps comes down but yea i get what u mean they tried that with UT2k3 but i still school most of the nvidia cards if not in speed always in quility 🙂

anyway its my sound card i removed it and poof no problem now i gotta find out why and fix it or i have a useless Audigy Gamer and im stuck with SoundMax onboard.
