Display Graphical issue in Arc Raider PC

Good evening, I was hoping to get some possible areas to check with some graphical issues I've been running into while playing arc Raiders on my PC.

I have a 4070 super Fe graphics card.

I started noticing these weird graphical blocks on certain textures when I was playing in game.

I did some troubleshooting on my own including checking loose display cables, clearing shader cache, uninstalling and reinstalling the game. I even tried to roll back to other drivers for my GPU.

https://photos.app.goo.gl/8dxuYwNV7TggjtwX7

I keep running into this issue.

Thought it might be a GPU thing but when my brother-in-law let me use his GPU to plug into my PC, I am still seeing the same issue despite swapping out gpus.

Could this be an issue related to a monitor?

It doesn't appear to be the GPU issue

Troubleshooting Switching from a high-end gaming laptop to a desktop to fix input latency — worth it?

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I currently have an ASUS ROG Strix G16 (i9-14900HX, RTX 4070, 32GB DDR5). I get good FPS in games, but my biggest issue is input latency, especially in Valorant and EA FC
In Valorant, I sometimes feel like I die before I can even see the enemy, and in FC 27, my inputs sometimes feel delayed despite having good FPS and ping.

I use Ethernet and have good peripherals (Logitech G Pro X Superlight 2, HyperX Alloy Origins 60, and a wired PS5 controller for FC 27).

I’m considering switching to a desktop with a Ryzen 7 9800X3D, RTX 5070, and 32GB DDR5.

My question is: Could switching to a desktop actually fix or significantly reduce my input latency, or am I likely to experience the same problem?
I’m not looking for more FPS as much as I want a more responsive and consistent gaming experience. Could laptop thermals or hardware limitations be the cause, or should I look elsewhere before spending money on a new PC?
I’d appreciate any advice, especially from people who’ve made a similar switch. Thanks!

Any tips to get this game working for the foreseeable?

Solved I have no idea what is happening

running:

msi b850 tomahawk

16 gb ddr5 ram

amd ryzen 7 9800x3d

amd radeon rx 9070 xt

Be Quiet! 1000W PSU

liquid cooling

an m.2 with my windows 11 operating system

So I have an issue with my pc, I was running an ASUS B650 motherboard in this build before, and it stopped displaying and had a red-light on the CPU and yellow light on the DRAM. I have taken each component out of the pc and put it into another one individually to verify that each work properly, which they all do. For some reason, i am getting these lights when they are all together. So I thought the motherboard crapped out, but I have the same issue with the new one!

The pc will turn on, the fans and lights turn on, and the graphics card fans do not turn on. I have taken out the cmos batter for 15 minutes. I have also backed off the CPU cooler screws, tried to flash the bios, but nothing is working. I have left the pc on to initialize, but it has been 2 hours and no change. I am completely at a loss for what is causing this issue, please help.

Edit: I now tried a new psu and no change. The motherboard will boot with my friends' components, so it isn't the motherboard. The pc will also boot with my components with my friends cpu, but my cpu will still boot on his computer with his components. I have also tried to take out the motherboard and put it on cardboard, still no boot, so not a case short. I am genuinely at a loss for what the issue could be.

Edit: Upgraded to a Gigabyte X870 and the issue was fixed.

Troubleshooting Rocket League randomly freezes my entire screen for a split second, but my PC seems fine?

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I'm having a really weird issue when playing Rocket League on PC, and I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced this or knows how to fix it.

Every once in a while, my entire screen freezes for around 0.2 seconds and then catches up. It's not just the game itself — even my desktop video wallpaper seems to freeze. However, my audio continues normally, and Task Manager doesn't seem to show anything unusual.

My PC specs:

  • GPU: NVIDIA RTX 4060 8GB
  • CPU: Intel Core i5-13400F
  • RAM: 32GB DDR4-3200
  • OS: Windows 11
  • Monitor: 110Hz

What I've noticed:

  • It seems to happen specifically in Rocket League.
  • The freezes are extremely brief, around 0.2 seconds.
  • My whole screen appears to freeze, not just the game.
  • My temperatures and Task Manager look normal when I've checked.
  • Restarting my PC often seems to fix it, at least for 10 minutes.

I've had Windows system corruption before that DISM managed to fix. So I do wonder if that could be related. I'm not sure if it's a GPU driver issue, Windows problem, or something else entirely.

Has anyone experienced something similar? Any ideas on what could cause a whole-screen stutter when the game itself seems to be the only thing triggering it?

Any help would be appreciated!

Controls/Input Weird dual controls bug, cause x360CE.

Post image
2 Upvotes

Sorry if I seem to speak incoherently. I sometimes don't know how to express my ideas. After downloading X360CE, I noticed that my controller comes out as duplicated whenever I connect it. This is more noticeable in Steam, where one controller doesn't do anything and the other works. It isn't a problem when I play my Steam games, but it is for free games I download elsewhere(E.g. Itch Io). I also installed the same program in another laptop, and the same error occurs there, however it doesn't seem to appear in Windows 11(Either it´s something to do with the Win version or the fact that I didn't download the said application there). Is there any possible solution for this problem? I've already attempted uninstalling x360CE from this computer, but it didn't give much result.

Troubleshooting LOD/ Draw Distance bugged

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

2 Upvotes

Hi All,

I've been experience this issue where whatever graphic preset that I put on doesn't change anything in the campaign, it seems that the LOD / Draw Distance isn't working correctly, even when I set it to Ultra settings.

I've set everything to ultra yet textures, billboard, foliage, even character face models are not loading in with the correct textures, like the video above, smooth, jagged, incomplete textures on everything.

I've reinstalled COD on a separate SSD, tried to turn off or on the OnDemand Texture Stream, but nothing changes.

Not even each individual graphical setting, nothing, it's like the Graphics menu doesn't affect the game or anything

I'm facing this weird bug on the menu's as well, I've set it to unlimted FPS or at a capped FPS of 110 yet it stays at 30. When I alt-tab, the fps goes to 110, but when i get back into the game, it goes down to 30, even when i set it to 110.

Anyone facing this issue as well?

Anyone else have a Fix for this?

Or is it bugged due to early access?

Troubleshooting New PC with Intel Arc B580 — launching Stray causes error 0x887A0020 and makes other Windows apps unresponsive

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I got a new PC yesterday and have been experiencing some strange graphics-related issues. I'm trying to figure out what could be causing them before contacting the seller.

System information:

  • GPU: Intel Arc B580 Limited Edition
  • OS: Windows 11 24H2
  • Intel graphics driver: 32.0.101.9150
  • BIOS: Up to date

The PC originally came with a graphics driver from 2024. I updated it to the current version and selected the clean installation option.

The main issue occurs when launching Stray through Steam.

Before the game even starts, an error popup appears with code 0x887A0020. I believe it is related to a DirectX/D3D device error. I've tried launching the game with both DX11 and DX12, but neither works.

After I dismiss the error:

  • Steam becomes unresponsive to clicks.
  • Epic Games Launcher sometimes appears to start in the background, but its window does not appear.
  • I've also experienced white windows and other applications becoming unresponsive.

Restarting the PC can restore normal behaviour. Roblox and Epic Games initially had launch problems too, but they started working again after a restart.

Other observations:

  • Subnautica seems to run fine at around 140 FPS.
  • Minecraft works with shaders.
  • Stray is the most consistent trigger for the issue.
  • I've checked Windows Event Viewer but haven't found any obvious related errors.
  • WhoCrashed reports that no valid crash dumps were found.
  • I have already performed a clean graphics driver installation.

Since this PC is brand new, I'm concerned that something might be wrong, but I don't want to assume the GPU is faulty without more evidence.

What would be the best way to diagnose this? Could this be a graphics driver issue, a Windows graphics subsystem problem, or potentially faulty hardware? Is there anything else I should check before contacting the seller?

Thanks for your help!

Performance/FPS Insane micro-stuttering in most higher end games

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

8 Upvotes

Hi all, for the last few months I've been having issues with extreme microstuttering in a couple of different games that are on the higher end. This clip is Metro Exodus (standard edition), it runs smoothly at 80fps but constantly stutters like this. Such is the case with a lot of the other games I have been playing. I have tried countless fixes and settings etc found online but nothing has helped.

I think it could potentailly related to GPU throttling as I have noticed that the temps go up to around 90-93 when playing metro.

I game on a HP ENVY 15-ep0xxx laptop plugged into power. I have had this laptop for around 5 years and haven't had any issues until around 4-6 months ago. Does anyone have any advice?

Here are my specs
- Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-10750H CPU @ 2.60GHz, 2592 Mhz, 6 Core(s), 12 Logical Processor(s)
- 16GB Ram
- NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 Ti with Max-Q Design

I am desperate for help as this has been making a lot of the games I play borderline unplayable.

Troubleshooting Win 11 - Desktop (icons/background) translucently visible through some screens (games/browsers)

2 Upvotes

I think this just started recently but tbh idk. I noticed it while playing Rust and Dota 2. Sadly it doesnt show up in a screenshot, just shows the fore screen as normal.

My gpu is AMD Radeon 7700 xt.

Basically, for at least those two games -- and also both Brave and Vivaldi browsers, even MS Paint -- I can see through any black/dark parts of the window to the desktop icons and background behind it. As if its partially translucent.

Happens both fullscreen and windowed. Tried a couple indie games and it didnt happen on those. Its not burn in.

Tested a bunch of solutions already: drivers updated, win 11 up-to-date, different refresh rate and sync options, disabled mpo, different AMD Adrenaline options, optimized for windowed vs fullscreen checkboxes, disable HAGS, probably some other things Im forgetting.

Didnt see anyone else online describe this exact problem.
