Images become pixelated

March 9, 2008 6:34:02 PM from Sins of a Solar Empire ForumsSins of a Solar Empire Forums

I am not sure after how much time this happens, but I think it happens randomly. All of the images become heavily pixilated at random times. The images get so deformed; I can hardly see what it is. The game works fine though. Any help is good, thanks.

Can you post a screenshot of what you mean AxelRider?  This sounds most unusual.

It gets progressively worse after sometime, unless I restart the game. I tried to show a before and after of some.

Graphics card artifacts from overheating, most likely.

Make sure there's nothing blocking your computer's fans
Add a small fan near your computer to help move air
Cancel any background programs (makes it easier on your computer to run sins)
Lower graphical settings in sins


Those are the best ways to stop overheating; unless you're willing to shell in a hundred dollars for a video card.

Yeah, the video a video card in my PC is not an option. What I found out is that during game play, if I change the video settings, it will refresh all images, fixing the problem; at least, until it happens again. So I think it is not going to bother me now, since I found a way around it. Thanks for the help.
