Odd game display bug

I honestly dont know what to appropriately call it or how to describe it. Please see images for better details.

All I know is that this happens everywhere, on all my accounts. It will stop for a moment when you interact with something, but it starts back up again. It makes doing missions really hard.

I wasn't able to play up until the last patch due to the loading screen crash, also, I re-downloaded the game just before the last patch. I dont know if that could be a source of the issue, but anything helps I guess.

Im knew to this, so if there is anything more that you might need to know, tell me, and I'll find a way to inform you.

Also, im looking at uploading a video of it happening, just need to download some capture software.

    Smearing / stuttering / duplicating (take your pick!). There's a major thread on this topic in the Graphical & Sound Issues section of the forums.

    Note also the 'postprocessing to on' bandaid suggestion from Cryptic at the top of this page (yellow text); works for some, for others it only provides temp relief if at all.

    tip for roleplayers: just pretend that your ship's ventilation system has been contaminated with a powerful hallucinogen by the antagonist of your choice!

    Stupid question: Did you tried the workaround in yellow at the top of this page?

    If you did, try to run the game on safe mode (From the launcher: Menu "Options" Scroll down an check "Safe mode" option).

    If that doesn't work... then I don't know :(

    Heh I can't even try the bandaid solution, its greyed out of my options. :eek: Come on Cryptic fix this. Ground is completely impossible to play and space is just barely tolerable. I know that as a developer, Cryptic likes to ignore bugs that they think they can get away with. However, this one is a game breaker.

    keeping your inventory window open helps alot on ground missions. it doesn't eliminate the problem, but it vastly reduces it.
