Polygony graphics in Lothering

Post by TRODTROD »

Hi guys, first post in a while. Currently playing through Dragon Age - loving it so far! But i've just got to Lothering and all the graphics have gone a little... polygony, and i was wondering if this is a recurring problem? The spec of my PC is decent, and i've even turned down all the detail to see if it solves it, but it still seems to be failing to render everything, so i just have grey squares for scenary.

Just wondered if anyone had any ideas? I havent had anything like this so far in the first few hours ive played it.

Tom.

A DirectX issue maybe?

loaded it back up again and it worked fine for a while then went funny again, so i've a feeling it IS something to do with my PC over-heating or something. Thanks anyway though.

I would agree this is a temperature issue inside your computer. Perhaps dust bunnies are conspiring against your gaming time.

Early recommendations would be open up the computer and clean out the dust. If your case has a dust filter, it probably needs to be cleaned off (an issue I've found myself in previously). A nice application you can download and run to evaluate various temperatures of components and their deltas over time is called speed fan. This application will also inform you if certain fans within the chassis are not functioning at all.

Best of luck; technical interference can really stifle the enjoyment of a game.
Crush enemies, see them driven before you, and hear the lamentations of the women.
