[SOLVED] Need for speed undercover fuzzy screen

sm4sh · 01-02-2009, 05:21 PM

Hi, i have just installed need for speed undercover on my new pc. When playing it i have noticed little black squares appearing when driving fast which i think i have managed to get rid of by changing some settings (not sure what im doing though!!)
Also when cut scenes come on the screen goes all fuzzy and you cant really see anything apart from fuzzy colour.
(this was happening before i started to change the settings on the game)
My graphics card is an ATI Radeon EAH4850 with 1gb memory.

Hi,

Please click on "Common Game Issues" in my signature, and run through all the steps listed. If nothing helps, make sure to post your full system specs (see "Posting System Specs" in my sig). It would also be good if you could post a screenshot or photo of the issue, so we can have a better idea of exactly what's happening.

try to download windows esstentials Codec Pack
install it, restart your PC and then try to launch the game again
also try to reinstall your drivers, but first uninstall the current driver and use Driver Sweeper to clean drivers leftovers and then install fresh drivers

I installed that pack and its still the same. i will try to reinstall the graphics and the game later on. do you think this will help. I have tryed all the points on your list apart from them as i do not have time right now and here is my computer. if you need more details ill add them but i think its all here

i went back to the shop and they told me to go online and download more upto date drives for the graphics card. i had only installed the ones that i got with the card as i thought they were upto date.

Anyways that has fixed my problem.

Thanks for the sugestions :)
