broken particle effects

tonight i started playing descent and now several of my abilities, namely the bow and staff basic attack and the rogue's elemental mines, will have large black flashes that sometimes cover the whole screen. i'm playing on pc. it only happens while in the deep roads. i am using gear form jaws of hakkon. i've tried exiting the game and restarting, updating my drivers, even tried using origin's repair game option. i'd like to find a way to fix this because the rapid black flashes make the game basically unplayable

  • Could you post a dxdiag report?

    1.  Press and hold the Windows key and the letter R on your keyboard
    2.  You will see a Run box in the lower-left corner of your screen
    3.  Type dxdiag in the text field
    4.  Click OK
    5.  If your computer has a 64-bit version of Windows, click the button Run 64-bit DXDIAG (see screenshot below)
    6.  If your computer has a 32-bit version of Windows, that button will not be available


    7.  Click the Save All Information button, found on the bottom of the DXDIAG report
    8.  Save this text file to your Desktop if possible
    9. Open the text file, select all the text inside (Ctrl + A) and copy it (Ctrl +C).
    10. Go to http://hastebin.com/, paste the contents of your DXDiag inside (Ctrl+V) and click Save on the webpage (Ctrl+S).
    11. Copy the link of the page in your post,

  • Hi,

    I'm having this exact same problem so I did the hastebin thing for you: http://hastebin.com/sotomojuva.tex

    This is obvious for my PC not the OP's also here are my specs:

    Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4710HQ CPU @ 2.50GHz  2.50GHz

    RAM: 8 GB

    System: Windows 64-bit 

    Graphics card: iNvidia Geforce GTX 860

    Please if you guys could look into a fix for this problem as I really want to play the new DLC but this issue just makes it unplayable.

    I've tried messing around with my settings but even with everything at the heighest and lowest settings nothing changes. I also tried updated my drivers, restarting the game and running the Origin repair, nothing worked.

    Thanks

    sorry for late response. i see that other people are having the same problem but no solutions. is this something that needs a patch?


    Looks like it. Mobile Nvidia GPUs have caused issues in the past, perhaps this is just another one.

    I just purchased the DLC today and am also experiencing this artifacting.  Only happens in the Deep Roads, tested combat in other locations without any issues, at least up to this point.  I'm packing a GTX 980, recently updated with drivers, messed around the graphics settings, nothing has fixed this issue.
