Extremely Glitchy Screen ??

So , my computer did an update. When I turned it turned on I clicked on my browser and watched a couple videos. Everything about the screen was fine. I then started up Neverwinter (Through Steam) And found the game completely unplayable. The screen constantly doing this weird glitches where its taking 1 sliver of the screen and copying it onto another part of the screen in horizontal seeming random locations but all the width of the screen. When standing still it stopped by me having shadows setting on medium , low would cause it while standing still. Once I tried to move, the FPS would be probably about 13 ish, and the glitches and what felt like lag along with it would kick in full gear. If I take the Game and put it in windowed mode it does not do this, but window maximized and full screen make it Unplayable. I stream and use 1 screen so having the icons at bottom and big white bar at top of screen can mess me up , and since i'm PvP oriented that is bad. The game also seems a bit Darker , maybe that helps you know what's going on, maybe it doesn't idk... Has this happened to anybody else ?

I would try to play another game and see if it behaves the same way. Watching videos and browsing does not use the same parts of the graphic card as playing a 3D game does.

Exactly the same happened to me, the same symptoms and the same "solution" (windowed mode) intel and envidia drivers. let me know if you could fix it

My husband has found through his work in the area, this game (among others) are not kind to graphics cards other than Nvidia brand. A few of my friends have it up and running with minor "glitches" using Radeon 5000 series. Floppy bits of cloth will flicker solid and see through. One of my friends was getting it to play on an Intel HD (Sandy bridge) shared graphics mother board. However he recently installed a cheap Nvidia card on his system.

Also OS plays a big part in this game. Many people are running Windows 10 these days, and my new laptop uses Windows 10, but the game looks like excrement because of the built in graphics and Windows OS. The solution my husband came up with was to install it on an older desktop running 32 bit Windows 7 OS. The older OS resources eats less RAM and allows more for the game to play.

My theory is this, if any game company wants your money so badly, they would make their game so backwards and OS compatible, it should be able to run on a hairdryer duct taped to a toaster oven, attached to the internet using an old i-pod. It costs too much money to keep up with the Jones on PC upgrades. I wish I could tell you otherwise, but this is how it is on everything.
