Just Cause 2 Graphics Glitch

[IllogicalGlory]

Any idea what might be causing this?
Specs are in my signature, but for this test the 980 is not overclocked and using the 344.16 drivers.

Can you post an image of what it looks like? Also try the new driver version

Is this in single player or MP? Any mods installed?

It's in the OP. You can't see it? It also happens in the new version, I downgraded to see if it made a difference.

it is single player and I have the free black market and god mode installed.

Also, it is not caused by my overclocked CPU, it happens at stock as well.

Not there at all.

I can see it, but if you can't, here's a direct link:

It looks like a model has gone FUBAR and the textures are being overprojected.

Used to get the same thing in Civ IV. Not sure why.

Is your video card forcing any settings, rather than letting the game handle it? Might want to try turning that off, if so.

It goes without saying that you should also try disabling as many visual settings as you can to see if one of them fixes the problem. I know that motion blur has caused similar visual issues for me in the past.

Well I can see it now, are you overclocking?

My first thought. Check your temps.

Have you tried a clean install of the game without mods?

Artifacting is usually caused by overheating components - usually the GPU. Oblivion and Medieval 2 Total War used to artifact extremely bad for me until I decided to monitor my GPU temp and found out it was to the point it was almost melting.

I bet it's a bad overclock on the 980.

 

[IllogicalGlory]

I was able to fix it by reinstalling the game.
No I wasn't...

The 980 was not overclocked at the time, nor was the CPU.

My temps were below 70 on both as well. I'm able to monitor them on my keyboard's LCD display.

Should I RMA the 980? It seems to have issues in Unigine Heaven as well. I also notice the fan rattling at high speeds.

Back when the first Far Cry came out I had similar issues with my Radeon 9800. The card went bad. Replaced it and never had the problem again.

 

[el-Capitan]

I too have seen this when GPU is overheating. If you are not OCing and temps are OK i'd RMA it.

 

[IllogicalGlory]

My 670 does the same thing. I guess it is not a problem with the 980.

that looks like a software bug
