Im running an Nvidia 6800M GT and when I load up City of Heroes, and go a server that I have a character on, the graphics show up all whack, it just looks all green and fuzzy and glitchy, this has only recently begun to happen, about 3 days ago actually.

I have tried downloading the latest drivers for my card, bu when I did the game would freeze up and not load at all. So I had to stick with my old drivers since they were the last ones that would run the game stable.

If it was working before but it stopped working suddenly, I suspect hardware failure. It is most likely GPU failure. Those old graphics cards get really hot when playing games, especially in laptops. This can lead to decreased life out of the GPU or immediate failure if it gets too hot just once. If you choose to use a laptop in the future, do EVERYTHING you can to keep it cool when gaming.

Post a screenshot if you want more help.

Ok, here is what happens when I go to a server where I dont have characters on.



When I go to a server that I do have characters on or if I go to the character creation screen, this happens.



I think it might just have to do with the settings on my card, but I dont know what to change.

I'm pretty sure your video card is fried from looking at that screenshot.

Second. Looks like your graphics card done gone ka-blooie.

Have you tried any other games or 3d applications?

1) This would fit better in the Tech Issues and Bugs forum.

2)... What series drivers are you running, then>?
