Broken Graphics - Call of Juarez BiB

The game starts and all but once it gets in-game, this is all i see.





Installing the patch made no difference, how can i solve it?

 

That looks like artifacting. Looks like your graphics card is going six feet under. Did it look like that in any other game you play? If not then maybe it is Call of Juarez. I heard CoJ doesn't play nice with laptop cards in general but that just looks like a GPU going to its death.

 

Well im playing other games right now including WiC and that runs absolutely fine even when the GPU is OCd so id say the issue is purely to do with CoJ.

 

Don't worry; your graphics card is fine. This is probably just a rendering issue with the game itself. This looks like what happened when I tried playing Serious Sam HD. Try Googling for a solution; this is likely a common issue.

 

Drivers or overheating perhaps?

 

Like pointed above: are your drivers updated? Is Call of Juarez patched to its last version?

Sometimes people say that certain games run better (or stable) with X or Y drivers. I find it hard to believe since every new driver should be backward compatible... but it may be your case, just google it.

 

Ive googled the issue, and my drivers are up to date, nobody else seems to have the same issue. = (

 

Hm. Odd. Have you tried reinstalling the game?

 

Hmm please help, im also having the same issues in Supreme Commander, anyone else experiencing something similar?

 

Different games use different paths on the hardware, and an overclock that works with one game may not work with another.

Try going to the stock clocks and seeing if it still does it, just for a test.

 

Was just gonna say this, some games don't play nicely with overclocks, especially laptop overclocks.

 

Well ive played both games at Low on non-OCd settings, still no luck.

 

Try reinstalling your graphics drivers and DirectX.

Download details: DirectX End-User Runtimes (February 2010)

 

Wierd, i have the same laptop as you, just a faster processor, CoD runs fine, what drivers you using for your GPU? update DirectX etc?

If all else fails, and you REALLY want to play it, backup, format windows and re-install, that always does the trick!

 

Try running sfc /scannow in an elevated command prompt to make sure all your Windows files are still intact. If they are, you really shouldn't need to reinstall, just isolate and troubleshoot.

Also, don't use Driver Sweeper, ever. Not necessary.
