I have pretty much the same problem. The game is also running with some very low fps since the last patch

[TechnoJoule]

Same issue. I was playing the game fine for a few weeks, really got into the game deep, only thing I want to play anymore. I have an Assault mech now, with 300 engine, all souped up with enhanced zoom on my pilot and everything. Now I can't even play until they fix this crazy lightshow. I have latest video card drivers, and directx 11. any workaround would be greatly appreciated, thank you, Nathan.

[elektric cobra]

update on this, there was a recent Nvidia driver update, after installing this update this morning i have not had this issue any longer

edit: Nathan, i did not have a FPS slowdown so i think your issue may be slightly different than mine esp. considering you have your latest drivers

same issue here... rainbow flasing ... cant see a thing....
my graphics card is NVIDIA GEFORCE 650M,2GB, is this has something to do with driver?

[Tharkan Stuermer]

I had the same problems after I updated my drivers

[UltimateVagabond]

This problem is growing troublesome for me as well.

[Zathul]

Whats up guys, for the polygon HUD glitch, there is nothing you can do about right now. Its something to note that it MOST of the time occurs when you deal or take damage. Also updating drivers doesn't do jack sh*t. The only fix to this is temporary and is to alt tab whenever this happens. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the alt tab tip, i have always had a few issues on my (sub minimum) low spec machine, but this triangular lasershow of uniteresting colors really takes the cake.

oddly enough it doesnt really effect playing a splat cat- get close and unleash srm hell... just with a dirty wind shield.

The alt/tab trick doesn't work for me. All it does is kick me to another browser. Am I doing it wrong?

Alt tabbing will minimize MWO and go to desktop/other open browsers. You can immediately go back in and it should work, works for a lot of players, if it doesn't work I dunno what to tell you :l

[MaverickCAE]

Experiencing the same issue since the latest update, grateful for the alt-tab tip but sadly it still leaves you vulnerable for a few seconds which can make-or-break you depending on the odds.

Not yelling or complaining, just adding my voice in hopes that the problem is taken seriously and remedied as soon as possible. Been having a LOT of fun with MWO and hope to continue.

Got this tip from you last night in-game, Shade, thanks! It didn't help when it showed up for me in a couple games ago, unfortunately. Possibly because I didn't have any other applications running to Alt-Tab over to at the time.

What did help was temporarily opening my Task Manager (Ctrl-Alt-Del) and re-selecting MWO. It was a posthumous effort on my part, but it cleared the polygons. This also worked for me as a potential work-around during a freeze-frame-to-CTD bug I was seeing a few months ago.

So if Alt-Tab isn't working for you, give your Task Manager a shot! And thanks again for the tip, Shade!

I find that alt + enter works good. It will also put you in and out of fullscreen.

You're being serious? oO
Alt + Tab works, but I don't think it is a good feature, that you have to leave the game every few seconds. I hope they'll fix that bug very soon. In fact, I wonder why they didn't fix it already.

[CranstonSnord]

Encountering this problem frequently as well. Seems random when it shows up, I've had it happen while just sitting off to the side and not taking damage, since I thought it was linked to taking damage.

[Zoex]

I would upload a screen cap of this bug if i could figure out how.

I want to also note that it reset all my menu options too.

Here's an example.
