[9426] Video Artifacting

[matrim72]

I recently upgraded Mangos to 9426 (UDB database) with support for WOW 3.3.2 and now I am experiencing video artifacting issues.

I can play for about 1-2 hours then my video goes haywire. It looks as if the polygon drawer is out of hand. It keeps updating and drawing more polygons that take up the majority of the screen where my character is. I usually quit Mangos at that point. This artifacting carries over to Windows (XP Pro), except here it looks like about 40 columns of train tracks going down my screen. Depending on where my mouse is determines the shading of the tracks. Once I reboot, everything is fine for another 1-2 hours. I'm trying to include 2 screen shots from when this happens, but I cannot post attachments, so I am still thinking how to link.:cool:

Anyone else experienced this? I have an older type laptop (SAGER 9780), but I have the latest drivers (actually latest drivers; not necessarily from my manufacturer that doesn't bother updating old drivers!)

Thanks in advance for your ideas!

I think your laptop's graphics chip is dieing and as nothing to do with MaNGOS

check for overheat, possibly caused by dust in the fan or something. if its an older laptop thats quite possible.
