Noticed This In AE Today

Something else I noticed today was odd graphical glitches on various objects from the story arc creation screen, to objects in the actual missions like pictured in the screenshot below. I haven't noticed this anywhere else until I started using AE Thursday night.
Any help in figuring this out would be appreciated.

Those kinds of corruptions usually tell me, graphics drive malfunction or graphics card dying.

I have been noticing these type of textures lately in random places(inside and outside of missions). I haven't been in AE in at least 6 months. I've bugged them each time I've seen them.

As mentioned before, is likely a local issue - drivers, file corruption, etc. A handy way to test the mission graphics is to have someone enter the mish and tell you what THEY see. If everything looks normal to them, or for that matter if DIFFERENT things are borked for them, then one or both of you will want to update drivers and verify files prior to your next login.
Will usually straighten things out.
Where to find me after the end:
The Secret World - Arcadia - Shinzo
Rift - Faeblight - Bloodspeaker
LotRO - Gladden - Aranelion
STO - Holodeck - @Captain_Thiraas
Obviously, I don't care about NCSoft's forum rules, now.
Been there.
I'd take a gander at your drivers.
Necrobond - 50 BS/Inv Scrapper made in I1
Rickar - 50 Bots/FF Mastermind
Anti-Muon - 42 Warshade
Ivory Sicarius - 45 Crab Spider
Aber ja, nat�rlich Hans nass ist, er steht unter einem Wasserfall.
Yeah, when you start seeing stuff like this...
...expect eminent failure of your video card. I know mine died shortly after this.

Wonderful.... I've been looking at getting a new one anyway, but I can't financially swing that atm. |

As far as the drivers go, I'm pretty sure I have the latest versions for my card. Updated them about a month or so ago.

There may have been an update since then. I would check before assuming that your card is on the way out. I'd recommend running a driver cleaner, like Driver Sweeper to make sure all remnants of video drivers and the CCC are gone before installing the latest driver.

If it's just the occasional surface that's wrong, it's probably not a sign of impending failure.

Not sure if this is a bug, or something with my graphics, but I noticed this today thought this was the best place to ask about it. At various points while working on my arc I noticed the text was all messed up.
I'm running on Ultra Mode, 1360x768 resolution, ATI Radeon HD 5670 (512 MB) graphics card.
