Artifacts are the video term for random polygons showing up where they aren't supposed to show up.

I'm on an AMD64bit 3200+, on a GF5500 Factory OC, the game gets great fps but SOMETIMES, not always, my game will get this bug where I'll see all sorts of weird overlapping in load screens, and in the full-screen map, and during character creation.

Like, I can see flashing bits and pieces of my GUI in the full screen map, and the background picture in a load screen will overlap the loading bar and the title graphic.

I'm not exactly sure what causes this, so I'm readily blaming my cpu ;p

is that by any chance a FX 5500?

if so check the GW site for the fix

also one series of drivers are a problem as well

I have the same card and also get artifacts when loading maps. Sometimes an occasional crash. Anyone find a fix? I use 71.89 drivers.
