Graphics Glitch - becomes unplayable

[DannyB]

Time:3:20PM
Frequency: begins somewhat randomly between 10 minutes after logging in or sometimes up to an hour after i begin
World name: Leviathan
Character name: Serene
NPC name:
Monster name:
Class/Level:
Party or solo:
In-game time:
Area and coordinates:
Steps:
1. Just play the game... I've tried window, borderless, and full screen and it happens in all of them.
2. eventually the screen will blank out for about 5 seconds, and when the game returns to view the FPS is about 5 making it very difficult to do anything. Only fix is to close the client and restart it.

Are you over heating?

[DannyB]

not at all ... processor is not even at 20%
video card runs game smoothly until it happens .. its a sudden thing.
also, if i exit and log back in, maybe 30 seconds have elapsed, and im good till it happens again

Yep, I have the same Issue. I have an Nvidia Geforce 670, i5-3570k, 16GB of RAM. win7.

I'm guessing it's an Nvidia programming glitch.

Same issue here, I have a GTX 570, i5 750, 8gb RAM, Win7 64bit

Weird thing is, I had no Issues before the server went down, but now it's unplayable..... plus before it goes black the whole ui is starting to stretch and just break.....

I wonder if you guys don't have a high enough wattage power supply, enough amps, not 80-plus certified, runs REALLY hot, or if you have the video card attached to the same power rail as other devices.

It's possible that the video card isn't drawing enough juice.

Also you should remove some weird settings or go into the NVIDIA control panel and disable weird features to see if it runs better, and of course to update any drivers.

But remember not to mess around too much with your power supply it can kill you.

It was fine earlier though which is the weird part...
Here a screenshot of the broken ui, it just flashes like that..

1000W power supply and its got dedicated cables straight to the video card.
positive its not a power issue, all other games run just fine.
Also, I use all default settings so if it turns out to be a settings issue, theres an issue with the game using defaults.

I'm sure the Devs are busy solving bigger problems like the error 10102 and 90k.
I decided I should try finding newer drivers since its been a while and see what happens.

looks like there are new drivers since July. I should have thought of this sooner, this could be the issue. I think everyone should update to the latest WHQL (not beta) drivers and play for a day to see if the problem goes away. I'll post back after about 24 hours with results.

go to NVidia site ( http://www.geforce.com/drivers ) and run the "Auto-Detect Your GPU" feature in the drivers section and post your driver versions. Then update to the latest. Maybe we can find the root cause together.

8 hours of play today ... no more graphics glitch ... now if they can only solve these connection issues....
