I was getting some really weird orange streaking in the Defari missions, I think it was "Cracked Core".

Took a couple of screenshots, sorry about the resolution but I run at 6119x1080.
The orange streaking was flickering and obscuring the mission badly as well as hurting my eyes. Made it almost unplayable.

Nice to see the quick response from the devs too though I am starting to expect that now.
In most cases I have found that changing the angle of the camera/moving my ship will help to alleviate the issue temporarily. It's annoying, but you can at least continue to play through the content.
Gotta wonder if the devs even bother to peruse this section anymore though.
And, I have filed several tickets to which they didn't even bother to respond.
Given my own experience with a similar issue in WoW, it may be related to the game's memory management algorithms trying to deal with the tremendous loads that an eyefinity/surround resolution puts on the engine. Have you tried lowering your texture resolution and seeing if that resolves the issue any?
If anyone else is seeing it, please post your resolution. I can imagine in certain rare cases running at full res on just one monitor (like my 1680x1050 monitor), you might be able to repro this bug.

Try running a less-extreme ratio in that map to work around the bug. We're looking for a proper solution.

Unfortunately, switching out of surround is a huge pain in the TRIBBLE, the nvidia drivers lock out lower resolutions when surround is enabled so I have to basically remap my monitors on the desktop to do that. I have upgraded from the 2 gtx 260s I had to three gtx 470s and some 28" displays running at 6054x1200 in surround but I struggled through on all of my existing characters that could do the mission already.
