Happens every game I've played so far. As soon as I enter combat, my screen is completely filled with multicolored polygons. You can alt/tab to fix it, but since I'm usually facing an enemy mech at the time, it's a real pain in the A$$. Anyone know what's going on with this, and does anyone have a workaround? I'va already tried a clean install, so I assume it's a problem with the game. I also believe that only Nvidia users are having this problem.

Did 5 matches with no problems on my Treb 5J. 6th match it hit me when I was facing a Trebuchet (I think) and he started pounding on my Treb 5K while I was in thermal vision and zoomed in. At first I thought it was thermal, didn't help getting out of it. After I died, this problem persisted, even when spectating other mechs and through the scoreboard.

Next match, I was capping points in Tourmaline and came up behind the enemy group, zoomed in (but not in thermal) and wham, it started again. So I alt+tabbed and that fixed it. Course I was all but dead by then due to being noticed and getting slammed. Both times I was zoomed, so no clue if that affects it. However, the other 5 games I zoomed in as well and never an issue.

So, as Grugore said, it's just a bunch of randomly spawning polygons of various sizes and colors that appear and disappear at random locations on the screen. Thereby making it difficult to see...well...anything. They also seem to persist even after death. I don't think it's my video drivers, but I am about to check them now.

Edit: Okay, so drivers were in need of an update, ironically to 314.22. Which according to Preatorian, he has and he's getting the same issues irregardless. I'll give the game a whirl and see how it's affecting me.

This has happened to me every 3rd match or so.... so friggen annoying. I updated my drivers before even playing the game... I'm running Nvidia drivers 314.22..... the most recent drivers as of 6pm EST. what the hell is going on!?!?!!?

[Jonny Monroe]

Yep, I get this too. gonna try a driver update now.

[Preatorian]

yep that's what I get..... it's VERY annoying to say the least.... thx for telling me to update my graphics drivers guys.... everything was friggen fine for me with 3.10....... now it's all jacked up.

Did a driver update, rebooted computer and the game. So far it's been working fine. Also their is another thread in the Patch Feedback section that is a bit longer. All future posters might want to go there instead to keep it consolidated. Even PGI recommends updating your drivers.

Edit: *sigh* Helps if I add the link *thunks head into desk*: http://mwomercs.com/...e-your-drivers/

Ive had this happen mid game a few times recently. Maybe 3/15 games. RIght shift f11 worked once. Also when I alt tabbed it was on my desktop so i had to exit game. Going to try driver update like previously suggested

Haha and the first 5 seconds or so after the bug appeared to me for the first time I thought it was a normal anti-targeting/anti-sensoring module an enemy mech was inflicting to me XD

Re-installing MWO helped some of my friends with that bug (and other bugs like broken HUD and map bug).

I have encountered this as well. It seems to crop up right after I fire a weapon and it hits. I have been encountering this pretty consistently since the patch, it has happened probably 8 of 10 matches.

Updated my graphics drivers and it seemed to resolve the issue, make sure you are up to date before trying any other fixes, seems to be the major issue.
