Rainboscape Posted May 5, 2021 Author Share Posted May 5, 2021 (edited) Ugh, here we go again. It went well, then I started getting black screen after half an hour. Tried to play again, then some 20/30 minutes later I got this weird menu glitch while crafting alchemy, with overlapping items and overlapping pointer arrows, and the image of a campfire over my quest menu? Completely glitched out. Wut?EDIT: And a THIRD, this time a CTD after 40 minutes, again while doing alchemy, but without the graphical glitch.

Helmsmasher Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 Random question, but the overlapping stuff rang a bell: are you playing off an external drive per chance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rainboscape Posted May 6, 2021 Author Share Posted May 6, 2021 (edited) I'm running off an internal SSD-M2.Do you know how to include a screenshot on this forum? I took a few screenies of the overlapping problem.Incidently I'm getting crashes on Tropico 6 and Sims 3, too.

Helmsmasher Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 Starting to sound like your hardware is faulty, most likely the GPU, did you get it at a proper retailer or was it a downpriced or scalped one? Â As for screenshots: you can upload them to nexus in your personal images or to an external website and simply put the link to the image. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rainboscape Posted May 6, 2021 Author Share Posted May 6, 2021 The parts were ordered and mounted by a long time family friend, he's been our computer guy for 20+ years and I trusted him completely with the work. I'm visiting home for mother's day so I'll be bringing my computer, he wants to take a look at it and make sure I get it functioning as it should.

Helmsmasher Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 Hope he can shed some light! Remember even legitimate cards fail quite frequent, they're one of the more vulnerable parts of a pc! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rainboscape Posted May 13, 2021 Author Share Posted May 13, 2021 SOLVEDTurns out the new CPU came with a cooling unit that is completely unsuited for gaming. I have a powerful new one now, and the crashing has stopped altogether.Still want to thank everyone who thought along with me and tried to help :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
