What is this and how can I fix it?

ATI Radeon 3600 Series
2gigs Ram

2.8Ghz Dual Core Intel

All that good stuff because I suspect someone will ask for it lol.

    The only way to fix it is to turn on post processing, which of course will bring your framerate to a crawl. I get the same blocky effect too. Just gotta live with it for now.

    Yep, hopefully they fix it soon, is kinda ugly :(. Better yet they fix performance across the board so i can play with post processing enabled.

    Does your ATI card have Catalyst AI enabled? If so, that is causing the problem. To fix it, go into the Catalyst Control Center, go to 3D, then go Catalyst A.I. and disable it. This might fix it.

    This is an ATI card issue

    One of your video settings is kajiggered ;)

    Try turning "On" Post Screen Processing (Sp?), that should eliminate it.

    I had the same issue and this fixed it, but its an FPS hit.

    Edit: Apparently NVidia issue too

    Anti Aliasing can cause this effect as well.

    The only way I can get rid of it is to either turn off AA (aiieeeee, Legoland), or turn on post processing but turn all the options off except bloom which I keep to low anyway otherwise everything is overbright :)

    Why do people say "turn off post processing it will increase performance", it doesn't increase performance, i turn it off, my performance is the same, turn it back on, its still the same. ._.

    Yeah, this is affecting NVidia users too.

    I had this back in Closed and Open beta, and found that turning on Post Processing solved the problem, but back then this would drop my frame rate by an insane amount.
    It still drops it now, but not by as much so I can leave it on thankfully.

    Because you are the exception, and for most people it does. I've found that I can turn post processing on with minimal impact to performance if I turn shadow to low and bloom off.
