A Picture says more than thousand words:

Example

I am running a GeForce GTX 550 Ti on win7.

Driver Version 314.22

edit: updating to current drivers 331.sth did not make a difference.

    Oh good... I'm not the only one.

    Leave it to PWE.... release one fix and break three other (unrelated) things.

    Oh... and it's not just happening in space. It's happening while mining and on ground missions too.

    Never had this graphics issues at all... my settings are all on low to be reliable and fast instead of supreme quality so i shouldn't be having this issue... present all instances, all maps etc... usually goes away once a pop up menu is opened (duty officers menu) or transfered to new map. See link for screen****

    Happening to me too and I was fine before. I wouldn't call it minor though it's like my game's under the influence.

    Geforce 620 GT.

    Currently on 320.49 and updating to 331.82. but I don't think it will fix the issue which didn't exist to begin with. If I don't move the camera I can at least do basic stuff although sadly buying stuff from the c store is a no go XD.

    From what I can tell it's affected way more people than it has fixed (if any have been fixed). Every so often the game will reset the graphics and all looks okay but then it takes snapshots every frame until it becomes one big mess as already shown.

    looks like some sort of graphics card failure.

    It's not hardware unless huge numbers of graphics cards around the world decided to commit suicide :confused:. It's software from the latest patch no question.

    I am having the same problems as well. Never had this until I patched the game only 30 minutes ago. It only happens when in space, didn't have any problems so far on the ground.

    Running causes my main to enter warp speed

    Dragging Inventory off of inventory window causes mouse to disappear

    Medical nanite heal from boff causes me to turn blue

    All graphic issues I have had were with ground...from esd to episode maps Except for in space, normal black background of pve queue and duty officer window are now opaque or see through

    List goes on....I didnt notice these issues on tribble...Is cryptic not wiping out all old code before bringing in new code?
    Chive on and prosper, eh?

    Except it's triggered by ingame actions (panning camera into certain directions in sectorspace) and sometimes disappears after few seconds or other ingame actions (panning camera in different direction, opening duty officer screen).
    Here, it's alternating between looking normal, dizziness (after camera panning) and DOS-graphics (after closing some menu).

    Already had it in ESD (without the bright glow from sectorspace), but was fine in New Romulus Command.

    Thanks for the reports, and sorry to see that you are experiencing this. I've passed them along. Please be sure to include your computer spec information, including your graphics card, in your reports.

    Cheers,

    Same thing here.
    Playing in a Sony Vaio with a Intel Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) 4500MHD.
    Used to run pretty nice before this patch.

    I'm experiencing this. You didn't specify any other computer data, but my graphics card is an Nvidia Geforce GTX 680.

    Okay, I'm highly ticked. Logged on after the patch and now any space environment I try to fly in is a flaring mess, turning bright white and duplicating everything in the environment like a bad acid trip. If I wanted a bad acid trip, I would have done acid.

    Hope this is going to get fixed VERY SOON because it is unplayable as is.

    Looks like you were trying to intimidate Tom Paris in breaking the Warp Threshold.

    Exactly, and multiple platforms too.

    Don't do acid in the mean time, it's bad for your health.

    I'm one of the luck ones it seems, wasn't hit by the previous bug not hit by this one either.
    But I certainly understand your frustration.
