FarCry Artifacting

[Mekrel]

Hmm got a weird problem.

Unfortunately I sold most of the games as I have completeted them, but installed FarCry to give a test.

Got it patched right up to 1.4. From the start when you do the training bit from the sewers it's fine untill you get to that hole you have to jump into and then prone under that fallen down girdle, then it artifacts like crazy.

Played oblivion, that was fine for two hours.

Temps are very good, under water and loading at 38 degrees.

Ran 3DMark06 which was fine, and now that rithble program (I'll let you know how it goes).

Any other ideas?

Running an E6600 at stock and X1900XT 512mb also at stock (well 4 mhz more on the core as I've set the 3d speeds via ATT and it only allows certain values)

Just weird it happens at that point, also weird that point is the first time you really get any sunlight appear in the game, hmmm.

What drivers are you using? maybe change to an older set ?

7.2 but I think I've sorted it now. Just stood before the area before it happened and tested. Artifacts like usual.

Stepped back and remember that with ATi you could use HDR and SM3.0 with AA but it had to be done a certain way else it would artifact (but the users at the time had purple stripes every where, mine was just random coloured objects).

So enabled SM3.0, HDR Rendering and the HDR level in the console and tested, worked fine.

the DX demo worked fine as well.

same here, farcry artifacts like mad. iv put it down to crap drivers thanks to ati. and hdr doesn;t even work.
