I posted this in Technical Help 4 months ago, and after bumping it over and over, I still havn't found a fix, so I think its time to try my chances in General Discussion where more people read ^^ Its got worse now, in the caves I cant even see where im going a lot of the time because of all the lines going across the screen.

I recently got my PC upgraded [Well about 5months ago now] with 2gb RAM, and a new Graphics Card. But now I have problems with the graphics ingame.

Are there any solutions to this? Im pretty sure my drivers are up to date.

Graphics Card: 7300 GT GeForce 512MB DDR2

Usual graphic problems if u're playing for already too long lolz, just restart ur computer and it should be fine
If u have this already when u've just logged in, update ur graphic drivers, just for sure
if this doesn't work, buy a new one lol

Hm. Usually texture "tearing" like that indicates:

-lack of graphics memory
-overheating
-bad drivers

But I'd look at your graphics vsync. If vsync is set to off, it'll use the monitor refresh rate. For example, if the monitor is at 85 hz and vsync is off, it'll use 85hz, which can result in graphics weirdness. When it's on, it will limit your refresh rate to 60 hz. It's useful to turn off vsync to increase your frames per second, but can generate strangeness.

It depends on your OS. I think Vista doesn't have that same "bug" that XP used to.

Try reinstalling drivers first, then check for updated ones.
