I ran BRINK on release hour and I noticed on main menu, my characters had black boxes glittering his appearance, and I initially thought this was actually for aesthetics LOL. But when I played the game, these black boxes are all over the place and are almost like pieces of square-ish geometric shapes are cut right out of the game.
What the heck?
I’m running a Phenom 9750 Quad @ 2.64ghz and 5770.
Also upgraded my graphic drivers to catyalst 11.5
Fix this broken game pls.
same problem. It went away after I restarted, may come back though.
GTX 360 Q6600 4GB ram
If you have ATI cards, try disabling AI in the CCC. That worked in ETQW for me.
i cant disable AI in CCC, its only perfomance -> quality -> high quality
But I tried performance and high quality and it still gets black artifact squares everywhere.
I have the same issue except sometimes theyre blue boxes and stuff… they seem to be replacing all the particle effects like fire, sparks, dust, muzzle flashes… kinda annoying really. im running on an Nvidia GEForce GTX 285M 1gb vid ram graphics card. hope this can get fixed soon…
greenbubbl, there is another thread devoted to the blue particle effects issue with two possible fixes that have worked for other players:
One solution that has resolved similar issues has been to try reinstalling the game via Steam. If anyone can confirm that that fixes the issue for them please report back.
ive reinstalled another 3 times and still the same issue… all drivers are up to date and everything…
ryryelectro, can you try verifying your game cache in Steam.
First off, I would suggest using Steam to verify your game cache or, failing that, delete your local game content and re-update via Steam. If you keep a copy of the videos folder that you patch in after Steam has deleted everything else, the download will take a lot less time.
Verify integrity of game cache
[ol]
[li]Open your Steam Games Library[/li][li]Right-click on Brink and select Properties[/li][li]Click on the Local Files tab and select Verify integrity of game cache[/li][li]Boot Brink and report back with the results[/li][/ol]
Let me know if this works.
I tried what u said Crispy, but without result.
The black boxes still appear, all I received by doing so was quite a long installation…
Any other ideas?

Any other ideas?[/QUOTE]I’m guessing the long installation is maybe because you re-named your videos folder? If not then it would seem to indicate something was missing.
My next suggestion would be completely reinstalling via Steam. If it still happens I’d like to see your DxDiag.
Is anyone else getting the black squares?
Hello.
I’m not sure if this is similar to the issue everyone else has been having but every time I fire a gun (or see smoke or spark “particles?”) these black boxes appear.
This problem has been persistent regardless of multiple installs that another forum thread I have read recommended.
Here is the Photobucket screenshot link featuring the graphical error.
Any thoughts?
If I toggle with my ATi Overdrive and turn it off on Win7, it fixes the black squares most of the time. If not sometimes I have to enable and then disable it again. On WinXP however, the black boxes appear regardless of ATi Overdrive being disabled or enabled.
We’re still looking into this. Can anyone still experiencing this issue please post their DxDiags.
I updated my drivers and everything works fine now. If you are using an NVIDIA video card, just go to NVIDIA.com, click on the “download drivers” tab, use the Automatic Driver Detection feature, and it will find and install the drivers for you.
IF YOU DON’T HAVE AN NVIDIA CARD:
You should be able to use google to help you figure out what kind of video card you have (if you don’t already know). From there, go DIRECTLY to the manufacture’s website, they should have the drivers you need. If you download a random file that someone CLAIMS is the updated driver, you could be downloading just about ANYTHING. So, it’s better to stick with the manufacturer.
This game is WELL worth the little effort.
Good luck and good gaming.
