DoD:S graphics problem

[deadpool]

I'm not sure if this is the right forum to post in, so if it needs to be moved, by all means.

Anyway - when i'm playing DoD:S, the muzzle flashes come out as lines as opposed to what i assume is proper muzzle flash. as do most particle effects. is this a software problem?

I had the latest drivers for my nVidia 8500GT, but rolled them back just incase it was the cause, yet the same thing still happens.

Has anyone else come across this problem? if not, does anyone know how to fix it?

Thanks in advance

edit: i have no problem in any other steam game, only this one.

Well, upgrade to the latest drivers, and double check your ingame settings. You should be able to play with everything on High (maybe not AA/AF though).

Can you post a screenshot?

Oh, and yes this is supposed to be in the DoD:S forum.

Look and see how hot your card is getting. Make sure the insides of your computer is clean and you have proper ventilation.

He already said he got the latest drivers, and even rolled back to see if that helped.

What operating system are you on? I had some problems with drivers not fully installing/uninstalling with vista x64. I had to use driver sweeper to actually get rid of old drivers since they didnt uninstall correctly.
