Anyone noticed that certain letters or numbers are artifacting since the patch?

As the title suggest. Are you seeing character and numeric artifacts since the patch?

I was about to post this up. I thought my video card was over heating or unstable, but I have checked back and forth and can confirm this is a game behavior…

It’s most noticeable during server refreshes or looking at the scoreboard, sometimes the numbers look like blotches. Also the text that says Redeploying in ###… the text usually looks like blotches/artifacts as well.

Here’s a screenshot someone on steam posted.

Thanks for posting a response to this artifacting. Anyone noticed this?

(gonintendo) #4

yes. for me it’s usually anything relating to button commands (ie push x to… or MB4 for…)

(Singh400) #5

Yeah, I get this too.

(Karotte) #6

Same here.
Before the patch everything was just fine…

Edit: Nvidia 560 TI

Can confirm this too (NVIDIA GTX460)

(gubelfax) #8

same @ 560 Ti

Thanks for the responses. Anyone else with this problem?
I hope this grabs SD attention for a possible fix. This thread doesn’t take away from their hard work on the patch. I’m sure most if not everyone is thankful for the patches so far.

I’ve got the problem, too. I did notice it before the latest patch but much less frequently. :frowning: I’m running GTX 580 SLI with the 270.61 driver.

(h0munkulus) #11

have this too. 4870. griding gone but now the text “scrambles”.

(master[mind]) #12

Yup.

is this what you guys are talking about? http://img825.imageshack.us/img825/4101/2011051300003.jpg

look at the top near timer… this is happening to me, but ive seen it in the server browser too.

Yea i saw it too aswell, when i go to click exit game, in the confirmation box the Y in yes looks like it was put thru an atomiser, the same with the number 0 aswell, but it fixed itself pretty quick, seems like a one time bug and then crops up an hour later for tea and biscuits. really minor issue that no doubt will be fixed

Confirmed - seen on a number of different machine combinations, including:

[ul]
[li]WinXP w/ ATI HD 4850[/li][li]Win7 w/ ATI HD 5870[/li][li]Win7 w/ NVIDIA GTX 275[/li][/ul]

It’s annoying, but nowhere near as annoying as the old ATI “texture gridding” problem. In some cases the text just comes good of its own accord as the game continues playing.

(jfunk) #16

Also seeing this.

Win7 Pro 64
460GTX

(system) #17

I got this before the patch but way worse. It happened when i switched to windows mode and kept alt+tabbing.

(Crispy) #18

Good information guys, we’re looking into it.

(cmdsoda) #19

this can happen if patches were rushed through the qa team. i’m really sure it’s a nobrainer bug that is fixed in the next patch.

(Macky) #20

Now that SD is aware of the issue I’m sure it will be fixed.
The issue seems to happen most when in a match but it’s not the only time it happens.
