Thread: Video/Shadow Glitch?

    Video/Shadow Glitch?

    I'm defiantly not sure what this is... But I really need your help. I just bought the game (Combined Operations) and on both of the games this happens.

    This is just a screenshot of the menu: tinypic.com/r/34i4axf/6

    But I don't care about that, here's my problem: tinypic.com/r/sdn1w8/6
    When I move around it gets bigger or smaller and sometimes takes up the whole screen, are these shadows or what?
    Please help though, I don't want to waste 30 dollars on this game :(.

    Heres my specs:

    Chances are it's either a driver issue or hardware issue (i.e. overheating). Try updating drivers and monitoring your temps. What's the specific model of the laptop?

    I fear it's another soon to be disappointed laptop user.

    2GB of RAM, a weak, integrated graphics card and a slow hard disk. In the G62, the best CPU it might be is an i3 which isn't too bad, at worst it'll be a Phenom II which is hopeless for this game.
    Documentation is not a dirty word.

    Well when I run around my fps is fine enough that I can live with, and I think my drivers are up to date any other ideas?

    Not sure if serious or just trolling....let me quote two lines from your opening post:

    Manufacturer Hewlett-Packard
    Model HP G62 Notebook PC
