I'm using 178.13. However, ever since the computer freezing on the archery room before I changed the Interaction Shader, it is pretty clear that my video card is borderline dying now. I have to turn off my computer, wait, turn on again a few times for the visual artifacts on the POST to go away.

ok I changed the graphics to Standard and all artifacts vanished, game runs a lot better too. So I'm assuming my initial guess was right. On High Quality, there is something that is being used that isn't supported or just too intense for my card to handle. Clarification: Interaction Shader and Ambient Rendering are on Standard.

other games seem fine, I loaded up a particularly resource heavy doom3 map (Serengrove), no artifacts. I also loaded up Thief's Den (real old build, I know), no artifacts, I even noclipped so I had the entire map being rendered.

256MB. Also, damn. It actually might be the video card. I reloaded the game, went into the archery room and BAM! Completely screwed up with lovely giant blue bars. Restarted the computer, had a ton of visual artifacts on the POST. Luckily, I left it off for about 10 minutes and it went back to normal, so now I'm gonna test other 3D games to make sure. The card idles at 57-58C and goes to about 60 during load, so it shouldn't be crapping out like this. Dark Mod is too uber for my video card Spring: it happened in only a few areas, same places, the archery room was completely screwed as seen above.

Hey guys, congratulations on 1.0, looks great. There does not appear to be a bug/tech support forum so I'll post this here. So i'm messing around in the training map and noticed strange white visual artifacting in several rooms, the most obvious being outside where the archery training is: http://img508.images.../artifact1.jpg/ http://img30.imagesh.../artifact2.jpg/ (a couple examples) My guess is something is being used which is unsupported by my video card (6800GT). It is not an overheating problem and the video card has not been damaged by overheating since no other game has this problem, including previous Dark Mod releases. Oh and console shows no errors as far as I can see.
