Elemental New Install Weird Screen ???

from Elemental Forums

Fresh install of Elemental on Win7 machine.  Getting this weird screen glitch.  It looks like some morphing glyph.

Info

Os - win7

cpu - i7-720qm

vid - ati 5850 driver 10.10e

sound - IDT codec and high def driver

screen - 1600x900p

 

I have tried lots of screen video options in game.  No AA, 2 AA, full screen, non full screen, etc...  Any help would be super appreciated.  Game is updated to latest patch.  Best Wishes, StevenX

Bump,

 

I performed a full uninstall, ran a registry search for stardock, impulse and elemental.  Had to delete a lot of entries manually.  Used CCleaner for the rest of the registry.  Finally got the game to reinstall again.  Added patch via impulse and viola.  Same issue as screenshots. 

 

I dont understand what is causing the 3d graphics to look strange on the map.  all stretched out.  I am using catalyst 10.10e. 

 

Anyone else on here with ATI graphics?  If so which driver are you utilizing? 

 

Best wishes, StevenX

Well.. fixed it myself.  I updated video driver from 10.10e (which is very new) to 10.12 (CCC v2) and this resolved the weird 3d world map glitch.

 

So .. I hope someone gets some value out of this.

 

Thanks,  StevenX
