Fuzzy Dot Graphics...BAD! 

Please help.

My CoH graphics became really weird one day, for no aparrent reason. All of the shadows, powers, auras, etc. all appear as collections of fuzzy dots! Is this supposed to be happening? If not, how can I fix it? What caused it? Help!

Re: Fuzzy Dot Graphics...BAD! 

I wish I was more of a technical marvel, but it simply wasn't meant to be. However, I did read in a separate post that I4 has been wreaking havoc on unsuspecting video cards. People that ran smoothly before the update are now having issues. My recommendation is to turn off all of the extra animations (shadows, etc.). I don't think it will hurt the gaming experience much. Good luck, bubba.

Re: Fuzzy Dot Graphics...BAD! 

Also you might want to try and update your video card if you think its the reason. Thats the only answer I will give if someone is having problems in game.

You powers could be missing on attacks, update your video card!

NPC's are bumping into me when I am sniping, update your video card!

I die too much, update your video card!

Sensing a pattern here, so in conculsion, video card + problems/issues = update!

Auto... it lets you put more rounds down range.

Re: Fuzzy Dot Graphics...BAD! 

Dear Grifter,
I was playing CoH, and I spilled soda all over my computer. Seconds later, the tower burst into flames, igniting my leg in the process. As a result, my monitor exploded and I have third degree burns all over my body. What should I do?

Update the video card driver, of course!

To the original poster, the video card driver will possibly help quite a bit. Also, post what video card you're using as well as your processor speed and RAM amount. That will help a great deal with troubleshooting.

Re: Fuzzy Dot Graphics...BAD! 

You guys are all assuming the problems started when I4 came out.

If the problems started more recently, then it's probably not the video card, unless he's blown the card or wiggled it loose.

I would suggest first going into the options menu and making sure that all the graphics settings are where you left them. "fuzzy dots" sounds suspiciously like a screwed up gamma slider.

Did you really mean "fuzzy dots," or "square dots?"
