"Menu stripes" have spread to entire monitor - permanently..

[fractal_lifeform]

The left-to-right stripes used to accentuate the menu screen are now all over the monitor I used to play Avorion! Restarting won't fix the issue..

 

Sometime during a long session with friends I complimented the filter that the menu and the game uses. My friend then informed me that the menus have a filter but the game does not.. that's when I noticed that the filter had 'spread'.

 

It's on windows, it's on every other fullscreen application. When I take screenshots (e.g. snipping tool) and drag them over to the left monitor they look normal though. So I can't even show you how it looks. Included is a screenshot of the menu to show the stripes / filter I am talking about

 

By now I have tried:

- restarting my computer

- unplugging / replugging my monitor

- reinstalling graphics drivers (GTX 970)

 

It's frustrating.. did Avorion kill my hardware? If so: How.. Why..

 

windows 7 64bit, nvidia GTX 970

I'm sorry to hear this, but Avorion isn't able to kill your hardware. It's most likely a driver or a hardware failure.

Switching to german for convenience:

 

Die Karte wirft keine Fehler, hat keine Performance-Einbrüche bei Benchmarks und rennt flüssig.

 

Ich finde es äußerst kurios, das dieses vermeintliche HW Fehlverhalten genau zu diesem Zeitpunkt (nach 10+ Stunden Avorion, Kudos nebenbei - grandiose Arbeit) auftritt. Und _exakt_ so aussieht wie das Avorion Menü.

 

Des weiteren betreibe ich mit der Grafikkarte zwei Monitore - und nur der auf dem Avorion tatsächlich lief ist betroffen.

Liegts vielleicht am Monitor? Hast du das Problem auch, wenn du die Anschlüsse der Monitore an der Graka vertauschst?

[fractal_lifeform]

Ja. RIP Monitor, augenscheinlich.

 

Ich behalte mir dennoch vor den Aluhut aus dem Keller zu holen und weiterhin leise zu murmeln, dass Avorion meinen Monitor umgebracht hat. Danke jedoch für die Antwort und alles Gute aus Dortmund. \m/

Did you try to swich the monitors on back of the video card? Because its posible the videocard was overheated and melted out one of the connections.
