Blurred ground
« on: April 22, 2011, 05:16:59 am »
Hi guys! I'm an old fan of PS, from the Crystal Blue days, coming back to play now... and I've discovered I've got some issues.

I'm running a (less than ideal) laptop - a 1555 Studio Dell, and, since I don't know what all you need, I'll give you all my dxdiag results at the bottom. But first, please look at this:


^ THIS is my odd problem. As you can see, the ground is blurry, smeared, if you will. What you can't see but might imagine is it blurs continuously upon character movement. This is regardless of the aspect ratio, screen resolution, or graphics quality. Also, I can't seem to update... I've hit repair... it takes me to a blank... well.... this -



- so I'm at a bit of a loss.


Finally, here are my specs...

Operating System: Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
          Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU     T6600  @ 2.20GHz (2 CPUs), ~2.2GHz
             Memory: 4096MB RAM
Available OS Memory: 4028MB RAM
         
    DirectX Version: DirectX 11
          Card name: Mobile Intel(R) 4 Series Express Chipset Family
       Manufacturer: Intel Corporation
          Chip type: Mobile Intel(R) 4 Series Express Chipset Family

Thanks in advance to anyone who takes the time to examine the problem. I appreciate it very much!

I have the exact same problem. I basically ignore it since noone seems to know.

I updated it as much as the manufacturer allows for, but I'm still having the issue. Strangely, though, I've discovered this is an issue I only seem to have in and directly around cities...  are there, perchance, settings that might help ease such an issue? Otherwise I guess I'll probably be a hermit, living up by the Bronze Doors....

I'm having the same problem, too. It'd be great if there was a way to fix this. It makes my eyes hurt.  ::|

Slap the manufacturer of your graphic drivers. Not us.
