In testing grounds, I have replicated the polygon kaleidoscopic vision glitch EVERY SINGLE GAME I attempted to do so. It's when you make contact with an enemy target with missiles, there is a chance for this to happen.

Doesn't matter if it's testing grounds or in a drop, it happens to me *every single game* that i use missiles. IE, all of them.

this is totally gamebreaking, and is extremely frustrating. I'm hoping for a hotfix soon, but I'd imagine I'll just have to wait until next week for a new patch...

In the mean time, I've reinstalled MWO twice, and updated my drivers twice.
No dice, and the glitch still happens in every single game. Yes, 100% of the games I play I end up with a game-breaking glitch.

Shift F11 fixes SOME of the glitch, but it takes away my HUD and makes my screen incredibly buggy, so the game still isn't playable.

anyone have any other advice or input?

I've noticed that every time this has happened to me, it's been immediately after connecting with my SRMs, so there may be something to this.

the one thing i've seen people say consistently is that it happens after firing srms. it's really frustrating, though. it actually makes the game unplayable for me, as all of my mechs use at least 1 missile weapon.

S!

I reckon this is on nVidia hardware and their drivers? I use AMD and no artifacts at all. Only the HUD missing triangles or minimap stuff.

I got something similar right after I patched, turned out it was a problem in my install where some of the textures got corrupted or some such, reinstall fixed.
That being said I haven't used any missiles since patch. I'll try some tomorrow to confirm.

[Ramrod]

I have noticed it happened to me every time I dropped in my 4SP, but I had it happen to me twice in the trial Dragon which mounts no missiles of any kind. Perhaps I was in combat with a missile-equipped enemy.

That being said, driver update and fresh reinstall did clear this bug for me. Your mileage may vary.

I get this glitch when i fire PPC's too, along with being hit by either srms or firing them. When i fire a ppc the screen sometimes does a really quick flicker, other times i press to fire the PPC and then polygons. I notice when i get hit by either of these weapons it goes nuts...

I've been using a K2 with LLs and I get the glitch every match soo... idk

i got a message from Reppu today saying that is has something to do with mobile nvidia. i don't know if you guys are on your laptops or not. i bought my laptop specifically for mwo as i hate sitting at my computer desk, but the polygons don't occur on my desktop but they do every match no matter the weapon on my laptop....ffs

[Malora Sidewinder]

^^I can confirm I am on an alienware laptop.

in training grounds i can reproduce the glitch with 100% (10/10) fidelity. it seems to be whenever missiles destroy a component.

Quick! To the patch feedback forum!

Big DUH!! This is exactly the same fricking issue that has occurred since MW3... The development teams push the envelope on the graphic engine capability for the PC's then are forced to fight a hopeless delaying action as the diversity of PC graphic cards and installations drives them into reaction rathe than pro action mode.

Modeling 60 individual LRM from a four LRM 15 salvo...just EATS PC graphic memory up! I watched this same issue in MW3 and MW4...the missiles fragged thegraphics and put us in the match into slo motion due to the huge lag induced by the graphic engine... Similar stuff is happening here...it just comes off a fractals... The more missiles...the worse the problem...totally predictable... MW3 and 4 dev teams "solved" the problem by showing a generic salvo instead of hundreds of indiv missiles...

For MW obsessive compulsive realists....they all go postal....for those who care more for the game...they go with thegameplay issue...

Get used to it...that's why its a beta...

BUT

If somebody doesn't work this out code wise...and this is released like this...then this game will die a stillborn death before it is out of the starting blocks...

AND...there is just so many more issues coming up that fit with this...

LOTS and LOTS of coding and testing work needs to be done..

Release date of Sept 21????

Put hands together...clap...clap....clap...and recite "I believe in fairies...:

Come on Tinkerbelle....

"I believe in fairies....."

looks like Tink may not make it there sport...

[Jade Hawk]

I try alt +tab or alt+enter

But send to support your system specs - DXdiag etc
Hope if devs see so global problem and remove this glitch

[Signal27]

Everybody please, please, please file a ticket stating how to reproduce the bug and hopefully the flood of information will get the dev's attention so they can pinpoint and fix the problem faster.

the real question is was this an intentional way to get people to completely stop using missles? lol kidding honestly.
but way to go you should get some MC for the QA work you just did

[Mister Blastman]

Alt tab cures the problem for a few seconds to possibly the entire drop. Then you need to re-start the game to not get it next time.

A developer posted yesterday they've identified the cause of the problem and it will be fixed in next week's patch.

alt-tab does not work for me at all.

Use Alt+Enter.

Also, this glitch has been identified and will be fixed Tuesday.

i meant that minimizing the window in general does not fix the problem for me.

also, i get it 100% of games regardless of if i restart client or not.
