| I get an almost identical glitch with water and/ or sky sometimes but a /flush always gets rid , and I'm guessing you've tried that already :( hope you get it fixed up soon Ked | |

| Fraid so. I even deleted the caches, that didnt work. Then did a full scan, also didn't work and even fully reinstallin VG didn't work. Gotta feeling it might be something on my PC rather than the VG game itself.
Edit: Oh and it;s not just water, is it's also toons, npcs and several of the walls/floor/ceiling textures. | |

| I agree with Pred suggesting a session of extreme cleaning the inside pc ... could also be heat-pending, at least I suffer some symptoms basing on the extreme heat actually. | |

| Do the graphics mess up in other games? what gcard is it? did you update drivers lately ? If it has graphic artifacts in all games then the memory of the gcard is fried. | |

| Tried out a few other games and it seems to only be VG thats misbehaving (though I only have about two or three other games with highish end graphics). Though it did seem to break mid game session which was odd. And nothing I've tried with VG has been able to fix the glitchy graphics (reinstalling, clearing caches, full scan).
I honestly don't have a clue what type my graphics card is, I'll see if I can find out from something. (total computer illiterate im afraid, heh). I'm hesitant to look into replacing the GFX card as I A. Am not sure if it's something just in VG or my pc itself thats broken down yet and B. Have no idea what replacing the thing would cost/involve. | |

| aye ... if it is only Vanguard, I'd research grafical reports on the forums, maybe open a thread of your own ... if you setup certain features for vanguard, maybe reset to defazlt grafical setting helps ... | |

| Damn. I take back what I said. Tried a couple more out and, looking closely, I'm starting to see little graphics glitches with them too here and there that weren't there before. Nothing as dramatic as VG's but I doubt it's a good sign. | |

| no that doesn't sound good but on the plus side start thinking about how you would like to have a lovely new graphics card , shop around and check out some possible upgrades , at least you'll have something to look forward too if the inevitable does happen | |

| Nice find. Thanks for that, malt.
Well I've decided that I'm pretty much done with VG now anyway after finding out the last full time Vanguard dev, Jansan, was taken off the game (and possible the whole company). But I suppose I am gonna need to get the card replaced at some point anyway if it really has been cooked.
I'm still keepin a half-eye on Rift so can anyone recommend a card? | |

| I got a GeForce 9800 GTX+ overclocked, I find it very nice for a casual gamer(cheap too), but if you want to go into the more hardcore thing you should be looking at the "geforce 295" or something in the 200's :P They are more expensive
But I'd say wait for Murg to come online and see what he says, he has the price range for all the gfx cards and is good at that stuff | |

| all depends on your system and what you have to spend. the 200 nvidia range are coming to an end, not many places have stock. But as i said its all down to what you have to spend. | |
