I've noticed video corruption since installing the latest BF2 patch and was wondering if anybody else has. The corruption usually happens on wake island. when I shoot towards the water the sky will turn into a bunch of black shapes. I have seen it on cliffs on other levels too but not as bad. I reinstalled the patch and installed the latest drivers but that has done nothing. I am not running an overclock and my temps are fine. The corruption looks like artifacts that you get from clocking video memory too high. I have all video settings set to max and not changed anything. I have never had any issues so it must be the patch. Oh and ATI tool gives me no artifacts running it all day and night

Anybody else had problems with the patch?

Clearing the cache didn’t help but I think I found the problem. As I said earlier all my settings are set to high. However I had terrain set to low. I turned it up and now the corruption seems to be gone. This wasn’t an issue before the patch but at least it’s solved. Well something to add to the next patch…:slap:

Here's a shot of the corruption if anybody is interested. Note that it is always the same shape and color. It only happens when shooting certain areas too not randomly.

I use ATI Tool 0.25 beta 14.

Another anomaly I’ve noticed with the terrain settings set to medium is the sandbags look glossy sometimes...always something:shadedshu Well at least I don't have any problems or corruption anymore.
