Hi guys, I've never noticed this before so I'm fairly confident this has been introduced somehow in v1.0.1.0.

Since upgrading, I've noticed faint green vertical lines appearing in video - usually only on peachy coloured parts (ie, actors faces!) and they seem more noticable when theres movement on screen.

I've noticed these both when playing a DVD (using cyberlink 7 codecs) and watching TV (again with cyberlink codecs). I dont *think* i've seen it yet with any pre-recorded xvid style material, but i only started noticing it yesterday.

Any ideas?

Hi

I've seen this reported by several users before - I think it because 1.0.1 is using another DX9 rendering method than 1.0. My "old" computer with a DX8 capable gfx card is not working anymore because of this - but I'm not complaining since MP has always required DX9 capable card...

But in your case I think this new rendering method has made the old "green line" bug in the ATI driver to surface. I would recommend you to upgrade your fairly old driver to the newest available for XP (9.4?).

Good luck.

ah, ok thanks :) That would make sense actually - when i upgraded it wanted to uninstall directx and re-install it for some reason? Even though I'm sure it was on the latest..ah well - i'll give it a go..cheers!

Edit - got my driver number wrong..im on catalyst 9.2 at the moment.

I'll upgrade however to 9.4 and see what happens. I should also point out i'm using the registry tweaks from here - http://home.comcast.net/~exdeus/ati-hd2x00/

I'm an idiot...looks like that fixed it:sorry:
