verticle and horizontal lines across screen- how to fix?

[channelx99]

Seems like some weird problem with anisotropic filtering or something? Theres a series of horizontal and vertical lines going all across the screen at certain times which I cant make go away. I have a GTX 470 with the latest drivers not sure whats causing this?

V-sync maybe, and give us more details about your system

It's like you're saying your car is broke but you are saying "Oh but my tires are filled to optimum pressure!"

GTX 470 latest drivers, Q9650, 8gb ram and windows 7 64bit.

Ive tried with vsync on and off and it does the same thing unfortunately.

heres a picture taken with fraps-

The above screenshot was taken in dx10 mode.

I just launched it in dx9 mode via the regular exe and the lines arent there.

I relaunched in dx10 mode and turned the options on and off and found out its ambient occlusion(SSAO) doing this. Anything but low setting causes the lines.

Does Off also cause the lines?
SSAO is a big hog of resources


and those lines are just Horizontal lines

and those werid lines on the buildings are called shimmering

Go into nvidia control panel
Under the 3D Settings
Click Manage 3D Settings
and set Texture Filtering - Quality to High Quality
or Texture filtering - Anisotropic Sample Optimizations to Off

If those don't fix it set Ambient Occlusion to Off

It is also happening to the buildings near you

If I had this game I would be able to find out for you...lol But $20 is alot of money for my end

Hello, sorry for bumping an old thread, but I can't seem to find anything else with this. I am getting the same problem as the OP here. With Ambient Occlusion turned on I get those weird lines all across the buildings. I have a GTX 580 if that matters.

Is there any fix for this? Cheers.
