I was running into this issue since patch (crazy rainbow polygons) and was just starting to think id need to shelve the game till it was fixed when I got something that works to fix it at least 80% of the time (and no its not update your drivers!)

Alt + Tab - minimize screen then re-expand it after a couple seconds

I find that this bug happens most often when I am checking the score mid match (maybe different for others)

had to find something since my drivers are fully updated =/ anyways hope this helps someone.

bumping this because for some reason there are other posts in this forum with people asking how to fix this. There is no fix yet just workarounds being driver update and alt tab when the effect happens. GL to those who read.

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.

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!

Quoting my own post from one such thread. But this may be another workaround method of Ctrl-Alt-Del, re-select game client, if Alt-Tab isn't working for you.
