Dunno how to describe this, so I took a screenshot of it.

Imageshack Link

There is a smudge on the pulldown menus, and some of the X markers are cut off. Some of them fail to display entirely (all 'Inflight' options are actually ticked).

This problem exists on all my menus. Getting annoying opening the context to warp to a location, and all I see is a smudge covering most of the options.

Rarely, while in normal flight view, a rainbow of small squares will appear. They start in a corner and descend towards the center of the screen. Bizarre.

The only method I found to remove it is to alt-tab, but the problem reappears after ~3 seconds every time.

I have Catalyst Control Center running. I don't really know much about it, but I've got every option I can set to performance rather than quality. I imagine this causes the problem, but my fiddling hasn't worked so far.

I've tried all screen size/windowed options, nothing works. Reset settings and cache, no fix.

Graphics - ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4250
Processor - AMD Phenom II X2 N660
Comp Model - Gateway NV53A

Hmm, also seems like most textures are broken. Planets/moons appear as triangles.

When I doubt, update graphics drivers.

Let us know how that turns out.

No luck with a driver update, already have most recent version.

I did, however, discover that Steam thinks my entire installation is incorrect today. Ran the file verification and found 500 failed files. Effectively downloaded the entire game again. I ran it yesterday with no problems reported.

Entered game, and login screen shows a planet with triangles taken out of it. Can see the star through the planet where a triangle is missing. Same as before, oh well.

Runs fine on my other comp, guess I'm stuck to using it now.

Another pic of problem: Screenshot of problem while scanning.

I have exactly the same problem - have uninstalled all drivers an installed pure CCC 12.4 (but even that, CCC sais it's 12.3 and autoupdating makes no difference) - graphic glitches exactly the same as shown and described above. Tried to run repair.exe (has done something), but even that, still bugged. So there could be 2 options where the problem is 1) EVE update badly installed and repair.exe can't fix it (need to reinstall the whole being) 2) AMD ATi sucks again and we need different driver - gonna try some older one...

Edit: Older graphic driver (tested 12.2) solved the issues.

I have this exact same problem. As Milena mentioned the 12.2 driver stops this from happening. All the way up to 12.6 WHQL does it though.
