Title: Graphical Issues?
Post by: SixIX MX on October 17, 2019, 09:19:10 AM
Hi, I love the game, been Playing since beta 7. For some reason I'm getting massive graphical glitches/artifacting. Everything else runs completely fine. 25% of the time I don't have any issues. This occurs on modded tracks as well as stock tracks. I'm running the steam version and I've already tried verifying integrity of game files. Any help is appreciated. (also sorry about the bat pic quality snipping tool wasnt working)

That's some funky looking textures!

What's your system specs and do you have the latest video card drivers?

And my drivers are up to date.

Tried a clean install of your Nvidia drivers in case some setting is causing it?

Woah... Never seen anything like this before. Are you overclocking anything?

Or maybe something is overheating?

Isn't that "z fighting" or "stitching"? Can you change the depth of the z buffer? Usually 24 or 32 bit as default.

How do I change the z buffer? I started having issues again. I did a clean driver install as well as a fresh game install; that worked for a while until the issues started popping up again. All temps are good and nothing is overclocked.
Here's another pic

Do any other games show this problem for you? Have you tried running non Steam version of the game? Maybe try some different texture settings http://forum.mx-bikes.com/index.php?topic=198.msg6109#msg6109 and see how it behaves.

I don't have any issues with other games. I tried different texture settings, and so far I have the value set to 4 with no issues. Thanks for all the help. Will keep updated if I encounter more issues :)

The issues popped up again. I disabled shaders and that seems to be working for now...

Was fine for a couple of days but the issues came back exactly like before. I'm not sure what to do.

This utility might reveal something, or at least you can check your OpenGL version and see if the tests work without looking like your game - https://download.cnet.com/OpenGL-Extensions-Viewer/3000-18487_4-34442.html

Post your versions up here, I have the same card so can compare later.

Sorry I've been away for a bit. So far the newest graphics driver has seemed to fix the problem. I will try that if the problem pops up again. Thanks!

Okay so the problem persists :( I've updated to beta 13 and I'm on the newest Nvidia graphics driver. (441.12)
I ran the utility and passed the tests with no issues. Here's a picture of my info.

So I believe it might be the mods the are messing up the textures. I ended up just factory resetting my pc for other unrelated issues and when I loaded up the game for the first time it ran perfectly. As soon as I installed the OEM bike mode the textures went haywire again. so I then removed the mode and the textures stopped spazzing  out but they still aren't quit right. (pic below)

Quite frankly that's the first time I hear of such an issue. To me it looks hardware related. Are you positive you are not overheating anything, you ram sticks are fine, you GPU fans aren't dirty etc?
Title: Re: Graphical Issues?
Post by: teeds on November 07, 2019, 09:33:18 AM
I'll compare your OpenGL versions to my 1080ti when I get a mo, but your problem does look like a GPU memory problem to me.

Okay so I have a fresh install of the game, everything default, no mods or anything. I played until the textures started acting up while monitoring all of my hardware with afterburner. here's the pics. I'm just so confused as to why this is the only game I have issues with. In the meantime every other game I play runs perfectly with no artifacting or anything.

That's a messed up driver (for whatever reason) or your gpu memory having a hard time with the openGL textures.

I would also have said maybe a HDD starting to die, but if you did a full system reinstall chances are really low that you are installing on the same cluster twice.

I have done multiple clean driver installs and any other game that uses openGL textures runs fine, and I installed the game on an SSD this time for good measure. Any suggestions? Thanks for all the help so far :)

I'll be honest and say I have no further ideas. I'm really sorry.

Do you have those issues in full screen / windowed / borderless? Also if you change texture quality, anisotropic filtering, disable shadows, etc?

I really do appreciate the help and suggestions. I tried changes all the graphics settings to no avail. One thing that is strange though is I cant play in windowed, the game just crashes. Borderless and fullscreen at least work but definitely no windowed mode. I also tried changing the framerate as well, I usually play at 144, but it still pops up at the others also. I tried enabling/disabling vsync too. Oh well again either way I really appreciate the help so far :)

Have you got any other kind of graphics related software running, like some kind of capture software?

I just recorded a video of me doing a lap and it shows how and when the textures freak out. I can send the video if that would help? or maybe upload it to youtube?

Do you have spare hard drive? In your situation (which really sucks btw), and as you've tried so many things already you could do with getting fundamental. Your problem has to be caused by either software of hardware. To eliminate one of those you need to entirely replace on or the other, i'm sure the hardware is not easily replaceable but the software is if you have a spare hard drive. You can also try this without loosing what you have, just unplug your current drive and load windows on a spare, if the problem persists it's hardware if it goes away it's software. Loading windows does not take that long, you'd have your answer in about an hour and you can just plug back in your original drive afterwards and carry on as before but hopefully with a definitive answer to where the problem lies.

Sorry for the late response, I have managed to solve the issue (kinda). I Got a new case, ram and ssd, so I did a "rebuild" (really the only upgrade was 32gb 3600mhz ram) with a fresh another fresh install of windows. Since then my issue has been fixed :) Still confused because my old ram still works perfectly fine but whatever haha at least I can play this amazing game!

It was your old HDD if I had to guess, good to hear you got it sorted.

Nice to hear you sorted it out!
