Graphics weirdness

The heck is going on? After that patch this morning, suddenly my graphics are all screwy even at minimum. EDIT: The below is what I am seeing and apparently I'm not the only one, either.

The following is what I'd normally say when seeing this issue:

First thing to do is completely uninstall your vid card drivers and then install the latest version available for your card.

If the problem persists after that, you might be looking at a fried card.

However, from your post, it sounds like everything was fine yesterday, and then a patch hit live this morning, and now everything's wonky.

In that case all I can say is:

Do the above anyway and defrag your drives.

I'm sure if this is widespread, the patch will be pulled. If it's localized to a few folks, then we'll have to determine a commonality to look for a fix.


Be well, people of CoH.

Well, I quit out, restarted the updater and it immediately started replacing or fixing the texWorld pigg files. Thing was, right before that I had been out on Talos and a couple other people were having the same problem.

This is happening to a lot of people. Check the thread in the Tech forum.

Simply "Verify Files" should fix it for you, or so that's the case so far.

Personally, it didn't happen to mine. It seems to be hit/miss.

Did a verify files and still didn't fix it. So I deleted all the texture files and waiting to see if redownloading them fixes it, will update with results.

Game worked after that (didn't have time to play or come back here to state so), but just tried the game again after a few hours and the graphics glitch is back.

A previous poster in the Tech forum mentioned texWorldV1.pigg got re-updated for them when they did a Verify Files. It's possible all you'd have to do is delete that one file and try again. The textures have to be available somewhere because I am seeing them just fine.

I wish you didn't have to re-download the whole set of textures now, but hopefully that will work it out for you as well.

same here. didn't have to tell it to verify files. was getting the strange graphics, so I exited and simply restarted the launcher which said it was fixing the texworldSW pigg file. all 147 MB of it so will be a bit before I find out if that fixes it.
