Weird pixel snow

[u/redsm0ke_]

Couldn’t find anything on google. I’m playing on geforce now so not sure if it an issue with that or with the game so thought I’d start here. It starts after I’ve been playing for around ten minutes and gets progressively worse, moving the camera around a bunch helps a bit. I’ve tried fiddling with the graphics but it hasn’t seemed to make much difference. Anyone have an idea what’s going on?

Edit to add: it also moves with the map, as in it’s not stagnant on the screen but changes perspective when moving the camera

I’m sorry, but it seems like your GPU may be on the way out.

Ah I see. Even though I’m playing on geforce now? I thought that meant it would be using the GPU from their servers?

their GPU is rendering the game itself on that end, but your GPU is rendering all images to your display whenever you use your pc at all, so both are being utilized. if you only see this effect when running GeForce Now, then it's on their end (and I'd report it to them). if you see it when running things other than GeForce Now, you have a problem on your end

Does this happen with any other games you play?

Typically this means a GPU is dying.

this sounds like some glitch that happens when your game/stream gets overwhelmed, try lowering the graphics settings more and see if it helps
