Recently when playing the SC2 HoTS Campaign, I came across the evolution mission with the primal sunken colony. The model for it seems to be glitched out, and I'm certain it's not supposed to be this way. I'm not entirely sure why it looks like this, but it's really odd. I just want some suggestions on how I could fix this, as it's extremely annoying, both in-game and in the editor. Just see the attached image and you'll see what I mean.
I remember coming across that and being really disappointing that anything like that happened, especially from blizz,
but that aside, from what I know it probably has to do with the textures not being applied to the model properly, tho I will do a quick bump for ya to see if anyone who knows more comes across this thread.
@Ymerejliaf: Go I've seen several models glitch like that, official and fanmade. And so far I've found only 2 causes for that: video card + video quality settings, that seems to be the case here. Or bone weight glitch, that won't be the case because its an official model and everybody else see it just fine.
Try changing you quality settings and see if it gets fixed.
I was afraid it'd be video card related. My laptop itself is pretty good, Intel i5, 12 GB RAM, 1 TB HD, Windows 8.1 Pro with Media Center, but at the time I bought it I couldn't afford a good video card as it added like $150 to the cost and I was over my budget already, so I went with the integrated Intel HD Graphics 4000 which... sucks, to say the very least. I have Windows 8.1 and this card has known issues with Windows 8 and 8.1 (which I didn't know when I bought it...), so I have to use an outdated driver version (and I mean very outdated) otherwise whenever I play a graphic-intensive game I end up with the BSOD telling me that my video card isn't functioning correctly. Intel's Windows 8.1 driver doesn't work for me, so I have to live with what I've got.
My computer can only handle SC2 on Medium graphics, and only when playing a 1v1 or 2v2 game and on SOME of the campaign missions, otherwise I have to put it on low or handle lag. So yes, when using low, the problem with this model doesn't occur, but when using medium it does, so I guess I'm gonna have to just deal with it until I can upgrade again. My next computer will definitely be a desktop; so much cheaper...
@Ymerejliaf: Go I understand you very well, I run SC2 on a laptop, i7 and windows 8.1, and I have to run it on the lowest graphic settings and still I get a lot of lag sometimes (and overheating problems). And I've seen those glitches several times.
i had the very same problem, i have downloaded a modified driver to set a certain thing different. there is a tutorial on the net (youtube) to fix these kind of visuals. i also had overheating issues with sc2, and that even just being in the game itself. but it's all our fault because we have set our cards wrong (blizz said).
@FunkyUserName: Go Thank you for letting me know! I never actually thought about that, because it came with everything already installed, but I'll check it.
