So I have this glitch in game since last patch, and wanted to see if anyone else was experiencing this and/or has a solution to fix it. I couldn't find a support forum in here, and I'm not a big forum user in the first place, sorry if I missed it

A picture of the glitch can be seen here.

I have a ticket open regarding this, and they've asked for a dxdiag so they can analyze the problem. I'm hoping for a quicker fix. The shift from red to blue reminds of 3D graphics (I can use Stereoscopic 3D via nVidia 3D vision, but havn't found EVE Online to be a good candidate for it). I've checked and double checked to make sure that 3D was off. I updated to the latest nvidia drivers as well.

So, any ideas?

It's the beta drivers you have to roll back to 314.2 everything will be fine..

the new driver has the same issue. this is starting to get fairly ridiculous. i can't stay on the older drivers, as they are not compatible with newer games (or offer terrible performance), and eve looks like **** on the newest drivers.

whether or not nvidia are the ones causing the problems, it's up to ccp to make sure their game is fit for purpose. they are the ones dropping the ball here. i just paid my first subscription to eve, and this problem is preventing me from playing (the game is great otherwise, no complaints there).

i thought i would be around here for a long time, but if the game doesn't work as it should, i might be forced out.

Well before the trolls eat you alive a simple search would have netted you a few threads with this problem. (removed bad link).

And BTW the standard release drivers from Nvidia are the only drivers any game is required to support, Nvidia even makes you click a disclaimer stating that the Beta Driver is a testing platform and is not recommended for use, only testing. Fine print get everyone eventually.

Things that keep me up at night;  Why do we use a voice communication device to send telegraphs? Moore's Law should state, Once you have paid off the last PC upgrade you will need another.

i don't see a solution using the link you provided. as far as i know, this cannot be fixed other than by rolling back (something i can't do).

i understand what you're saying about beta drivers, and i can concede that they don't have to support them. however, when every other game runs fine, and one is still screwed up after 2 drivers you can start feeling a little let down.

thank you for taking the time to answer me though, and i appreciate your lack of trolling.

Just built new PC and was bricking myself thinking I had screwed something up on the install.

As detailed in other threads, for a temporary solution until there is a permanent fix, just turn your shader quality down to medium and everything will work fine.

Thanks for this fix, better than having to roll back to the 314 driver...
