Strange effects with still graphics and heraldry

[Katana_Geldar]

Have I said that I love the "little details" of this game? Like how I can see exactly what my character and others are wearing? Including if I have an arrow stuck in my shield or not? Just wanted to say that

Anyway, I've been having some rather funky issues with a lot of the still graphics and the heraldry elements in armour and shields. For instance, I can't always see my character portrait on my character sheet screen, and likewise with the people in my party. It changes rather oddly, once I could see myself in my armour but that picture was repeated everywhere for every picture of every character.

I have also noticed some rather strange things with putting my banner on shields and the tabard my character wears. Most of the time, this is fine but sometimes it is a strange coloured static-like effect that rather amusingly is still affected by the blood spilled on it as I am fighting. Or some sort of tiny repeated image that I can't really see. And not just on my sides shields, but on allies an opponents as well.

If it's any indication, the game will dramatically slow down when there are heaps of character there, such as when I am helping stop some bandits at a village.

Do you have some screenshots from these things?

Sorry the light is no good, I'll try having better ones tomorrow.

What kind of videocard do you have and did you update its drivers to the latest version?

 

[Katana_Geldar]

Nvidia 4400 and yes, it is up to date as it can be.

It doesn't always happen, just sometimes.

What temperature is your videocard (and the rest of your system) at when this problem happens?

What> How am I supposed to know that?

On a strange note, the other might my character's tabard was done in an insignia NOT mine but similar. Strange.

You can check your temperature with a program like PCWizard2010, which is free.

Note the temperature after the PC has been doing nothing intensive for a while and then play until the problem arises. Not the temperature when the problem arises.

Does this happen with a new game as well, by the way?
