kevcampbell Posted June 26, 2009 Author Share Posted June 26, 2009 looks like some other people have the same thing going wrong, on the transformers forum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slammers Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 looks like some other people have the same thing going wrong, on the transformers forum You'll probably be best of there in that case. Hard to say what to try, have you tried different gfx settings? Is there a dx9/10 mode you can try? You could try some older drivers, that's a long shot though? Are your motherboard drivers up to date? Does look like your gfx card could be dying/overheating is it sweet in other games? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevcampbell Posted June 27, 2009 Author Share Posted June 27, 2009 graphics card is ok in the other games i have been playing recently i have tried loads of different settings in the game, i cant change the directx mode i have also been on the transformers forum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DesGaiZu Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 all the gfx cards iv had that have died all did the red squares of death first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dance. Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 I've had random lines across the screen when my GFX card started dying. I'd presume it's a driver issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reacon Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 all the gfx cards iv had that have died all did the red squares of death first. Red squares of death... I see what you did there ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soldiers33 Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 looks like its the gfx card itself. becuase the hud seems to look normal. maybe theres a problem in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dance. Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 It could also be a corrupted texture pack. Have you tried reinstalling the game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+jamesyfx Subscriber² Posted June 27, 2009 Subscriber² Share Posted June 27, 2009 Looks like some kinda 3D only issue. Since the 2D hud isnt affected. I'd try re-installing the game as mentioned above - redness in some games means a missing texture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since the 2D hud isnt affected.I'd try re-installing the game as mentioned above - redness in some games means a missing texture. That's what I thought too, there's nothing wrong with the video card. I would wait for the patch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevcampbell Posted June 27, 2009 Author Share Posted June 27, 2009 how long could i be waiting for a patch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+jamesyfx Subscriber² Posted June 27, 2009 Subscriber² Share Posted June 27, 2009 Actually it might be a shader issue - the game probably has an incompatibility with your video card. I'd email a bug report to whoever made the game (Activision?) and tell them about your issue. That should give them information on what to patch exactly.

kevcampbell Posted June 27, 2009 Author Share Posted June 27, 2009 just been playing another game first time playing it, the video lags a little bit, the game is ice age 3, another activision game i have it on a resolution of 1920 1080 and im using stereo for audio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comic Book Guy Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 I have the game, haven't installed it yet, other things are more important at the moment. I have a high end system, so when I install it then I'll let you know if it happens on my system. One question: what level in the game is your screenshot taken on?

Comic Book Guy Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 first level i thinkok cool, when you install it and play it let me know ;) I don't have the problem you're having. I can't figure out how to take screenshots in it, or if I did when I pressed Print Screen I can't find them. I love Transformers and have been a fan since the '80s, but this game is sh*t.

+jamesyfx Subscriber² Posted June 27, 2009 Subscriber² Share Posted June 27, 2009 The game isn't that bad. It's got a nice way of moving between vehicle and robot modes. It does feel like a coin-op arcade game tho. Which I've not seen in a console game for a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baghdadee Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 I have the same problem with my ATI HD 4850. We have to wait for a patch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TAZMINATOR Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 Try to reduce your screen resolution size in your game settings or display properties and see if this problem is solved. The Evil Overlord 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baghdadee Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 Try to reduce your screen resolution size in your game settings or display properties and see if this problem is solved. Won't work either man, i tried all resolutions, quality, antian., vsync, nothing change the red graphics. Trying the game with 22'' and saphire hd4850.

TAZMINATOR Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 I guess is that you either get a new video card or wait for an update for the game. If the update isn't working once the update is released, then you will probably have to get a new video card. The Evil Overlord 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
