Title: Experiencing graphical problems
Post by: GillsMan on August 14, 2010, 01:27:06 PM
Hi all, I'm hoping you can help me with some graphical problems I'm experiencing.  I've recently purchased SC4 via Steam and I'm getting graphical glitches as demonstrated in the screenshot below:

I'm running a custom-built system: Windows 7 (x64), E8400 Dual Core CPU, 6GB RAM, GTX 260, DirectX version: 11.  GPU is running the latest drivers.  So, what gives?  It's not the fact I bought it via Steam (I tested with another version and got the same problems).  As you can see from the screenshot, it's quite an annoying problem and any suggestions on how to fix it would be much appreciated, thanks!

Just in case anyone comes across this thread on Google, I fixed the problem by adding a Windows XP boot to my computer and I now boot into XP whenever I want to play SC4.  Not ideal, but it works perfectly now!
