Graphic Bug, ugly spikes

Hey volks.
After the last Update (and a game pause from 4-5 month) i got ugly spikes in my game ([Link](http s://ibb.co/YdybW0B)). This spikes are changing every second and “floating” in the screen. Help?

Hello h0d3nt3uf3l,

There is a newer driver for your graphics card available here. You should install this newer version and try again. Make sure to remove every older driver before.

Kind regards


What’s your opinion?

Hi Kiemmaki,
thanks for your support. Sadly that doesn’t solve my problem. The spikes are always there :confused:

Anyway, thought I’ve already done that :sweat_smile:

Hello again,

I would suggest to try and disable your Overlay Programs, like Overwolf.
And please check if your graphics card is overclocked or running on factory settings. If it is on factory settings, please try and reduce the GPU by 100 mhz. If it is overclocked please run it on factory settings.

Kind regards


What’s your opinion?

Hi,

i’m using the factory settings. Try to reduce the GPU by 10% via Radeon WattMan but the result is the same. Overwolf was closed, no other overlays are active.
Tried to repair the game in the launcher as well and changed the game internal graphic settings. Nothing helped.

Greetings

P.s. My wife has the same hardware setup and I tried HOTS on her PC. The Graphicsdriver is the same (Updated a few minutes ago) and there are not these ugly spikes…

Do you play other demanding games? Are they alright?

You might have a hardware failure waving at you, could be many causes ranging from rust in the socket to degradation due to age or heat. It might help if you can disassemble and clean your PC.

They’re too many and random to suspect anything else (software, data mistake, etc).

Good morning again,

This might indeed, as Aphandra suspects as well, indicate that your graphics card might be faulty. The card is well able to run the game and there are currently no known issue with the driver.

Kind regards


What’s your opinion?

Thanks for your Support.
Seems like it’s a hardware defect. I tried games like PUBG and Assassin’s Creed and got severals artifacts there. To be sure I changed the Graphiccard with the one from my wifes PC and doesn’t have those problems anymore. Time to get some warranty :slight_smile:

Hello again,

I am glad to hear that you figured it out and confirmed it. If there is still warranty on it, that is a good thing. Have a nice day !

Kind regards
