First post for me so plz be gentle lol.I just started playing eve again after about a year and a half.The following images were taken while i was killing some rats in a belt.. I was heading toward the rats when this "thing" seemed to appear in the belt. I seemed to appear out of nowhere as the rats started to fire missiles at me. as i flew through it ... it seemed like it was actually there in space. I have had no graphical glitches at all since i starting playing eve again. neither my CPU or video card were overheating. Anyone ever see anything like this before?

Run repair.exe, make sure your graphics drivers are up to date, if all else fails, file a petition.

I ran repair.exe and it completed with no issues as far as i could tell. I have an older nvidia card(GT- 440) so im not running the latest version of the driver. If anyone who runs nvidia wants to comment on the version of driver they use i would appreciate it. Also i wanted to add that this anomaly or whatever it was seemed to appear at the same time i was attacked by the rats and it dissappeared right after i killed the last one. I stayed in the area for a while with no further issues. Very strange first coupled day back in the world of eve lol.

You steam computer is a little slow in loading the little bitmaps that make the new missile trails. Nothing to worry about.

It's a bug. I had it already a few times. Bug report it.

google "guru3d" and get the latest nvidia driver for you card, also try turning your detail settings down just a little bit, your video card is just struggling a little to keep up and load everything for you.

As someone stated above you should start by updating your graphic card drivers.

Without more information about your PC specs it's quite difficult to give you proper help but it's a start.

are you running on laptop? if so.

I had similar ish issues around last year http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l6GL9U90jt4 video of said glitches and they turned out to be nothing more than wrong driver for graphics card since my laptops graphics card was Mobile stripped version of the graphics card so it ran on different settings. so you should check from your manufacturers what drivers are up to date with your GPU

That happens whenever you accept the Encounter at Farpoint mission and try to warp away.

Dont wory, i have similar artifacts like your, like flying dragons ball z efects etc, i wont even report this as bug, because almost everything in inferno is broken, so what the point for report bugs while they should fix all existed things in eve, espetially ui, im sick of this, i wont waste my time, i enjoy new grafic artifacts as normal eve fearture...

PS.Distable particle in grafick menu, this may help.
