Have you checked the temperature of your cards, and have they been overclocked?
I had problems that looked like this, but in other games, and many many years ago. Since I found out what was causing it, I no longer overclocked my video cards (prefer to underclock for stability).
After overclocking my card, and it ran long enough to overheat I'd see these types of graphical glitches.
It could be completely unrelated, but it's at least something to rule out.

They're running plenty cool, good ventilation. And I never overclock hardware. This one has me stumped. When Season 3 first came out I was fine, then I come back to play a few days later and well...here you have it.
I have the exact same problem as you since season three was launched. Havent found any solution to it yet though except for playing on minimal settings and still then its not 100 % gone.

I haven't tried that yet. I was hoping to avoid it, but it MAY help.
Have you tried deleting the 'prefs' file from the localdata directory (under 'Live')? I saves all your local video setup info. This will allow the game to recreate it from scratch if there is any corruption; but you'll need to redo all your video settings from scratch once you log back in.
My brother is seeing the exact same graphical artifacts.
He's tried adjusting the in-game settings, reinstalling graphics drivers, using ATI Tray Tools, disabling Crossfire/A.I. in CCC and he even reinstalled the game. Nothing has helped so far.
He didn't have the problem a week ago when he resubscribed, though he did get crashes during ground combat.
His setup is two 4870s in Crossfire.
Any suggestions would be welcome. A response from Cryptic about this issue would be nice too, especially since he's paid for a month of gameplay that he can't use.

Just wanted to say thank you for all the support. I used the ATI tray and with some driver updates / Cryptics latest patch everything is back to normal. Thanks guys!

Yes to all of them. No good.

Update: He managed to fix the problem by using Driver Sweeper: http://phyxion.net/Products/Products/Driver-Sweeper (following the steps on the "How to use" page) and reinstalling the latest ATI drivers.
Just want to say, this fixed my issue. Thanks man.
