Others who had this problem had it clear up by updating their video card drivers. While you're at it, make sure Windows is updated and go to your manufacturer's website and see if their are updates for your motherboard chipset/CPU drivers.|

You see, I'm getting a really bizarre graphical error. No matter which server I log onto, Im getting this strange effect with the ground.... it won't stay in place. In other words, my avatar is almost constantly running knee or possibly waist deep in asphalt and pavement. The severity of the error seems to change depending on the camera angle and whether or not my avatar is actually moving. So, I've got two questions concerning this. One, ihas anyone ever had this problem before? And two, how can I fix it? I'm running the game on Vista, nearly 20 gigs of open memory, 2 gigs of RAM, and an ATI Radeon X1270 graphics card. |
If that doesn't fix it, then check out this thread, Common Solutions & Posting Guidelines
Then post the results of these two programs:
- CoH Helper - it will show us basic computer settings and your CoH configuration.
- HijackThis - it will show us what's running on your computer concurrently with CoH. Click on "Do a system Scan and save a logfile." It will automatically open up Notepad and put the info there. Make sure Wordwrap is off in Notepad (Format > Wordwrap unchecked) before you cut and paste here.

( Copying my reply to your thread in the Player Questions section: )
Welcome to the game!
First.. just so you are aware.. the Trial client and retail client are exactly the same. The account you use to log into it is what decides your game limitations and features.
This means that you wont have to re-download or install anything extra once you decide to stick around after your trial is over... simply apply a retail code to your already-existing game account through the NCSoft website, and then log in the same way you are now.
As far as your graphics issue.. it sounds to me like you can toggle your "Use Geometry Buffers" option in the Advanced Graphics section, and it might clear it up for you.
If not, then include the results of this program: CoH_Helper
