bolshevik Posted August 3, 2005 Posted August 3, 2005 hmm, sounds similar to what happens to me when my monitor's refresh rate is on an odd setting Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bewshy Posted August 4, 2005 Posted August 4, 2005 I've seen this reported quite a few times and everyone was always using a 6600 or 6800 card. Happens to me sometimes. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PoppyMcShotgun Posted August 4, 2005 Posted August 4, 2005 I noticed that recently while playing GTA SA. On a hot day, when you look in the distance and it looks real wavy, that's what it looks like. It's not all of the time but it happens every now and then. I haven't noticed it on any other game, including BF2. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Havent check this out yet but is there a Vsync setting in BF2? If so, enable it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gruntbull Posted August 4, 2005 Posted August 4, 2005 I have the same thing from time to time, usually when I use NGO drivers, Im on the ATI 64 bit driver now, and it seems ok... but I'll just have to play a few hours to find out. oh yeah my card is the x700 PRO Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mondo1287 Posted August 5, 2005 Posted August 5, 2005 I don't think there is a vsync option in BF2, just set your vsync setting to always on in your cards control panel. Your probably getting what is called tearing, its what happens when your frame rate and refresh rate are different and theres a lot of motion of the screen. It creates a split screen effect where half of the screen is one frame and half is another. Anyway vsync will force your frame rate to run in sync with your refresh rate.
