Odd Viewing.

Im not sure how to explain this, but whenever I get to certain objects on the map or when I am KO'ed, it seems that the pixels on my screen are...stressed if you will. Sounds and, and it is. For instance, I am looking at the fountain right now, and around the water coming from the middle, I see several little dots. When I am KOed, I see several dots all across my screen.

I have change the resolution many times, but it still does it.

Help? If anyone understands this, all advice is appreciated.

Sounds like a Video Card problem to me.

Ze'eal sounds about right.

Artifacting can happen when your Graphics Card overheats. It can come in tons of different forms but the two major ones are Spikes n' Speckles. Sounds like you're getting the Speckles. I'd really need to see a screenshot to be certain.
Spikes are when the scenery or objects literally spike out and usually head towards or from the centre of your screen.
((Spikes and Speckles))

I'd suggest opening the tower and cleaning out any dust from your PC fans.
If your PC is resting on the floor on a carpet, try placing something underneeth it to raise it off the ground a bit because the carpet just stores the heat up. (I'm using a few Wooden Blocks with gaps between them). See if that fixes the issue.

Either that or the traditional Graphics Card and Direct X updates.

Hope you get it fixed Moza.
