My game keeps doing this:

That's what it looks like when it goes wrong.

Anyone have any help for me? I've already updated the drivers for my graphics card and meet all the minimum requirements (only just though) btw.

Please, I seriously need your help. HALP PLZ.

Also, it gets much worse, and goes all green and yellow too.

I am running a Radeon 8500 series graphics card, and DirectX9 with 256MB RAM

EDIT: Yes, I know I am new and only lvl. 2, all the more reason to help me!

Does this happen in any other games?

and is your desktop messed up?

if so, you have a damaged video card

has this ever happened before?

if not, your card might not be compatible with gw

if you only just meet the minimum system req it means:

You have to run on 800x600 and with the graphics slider all the way to the left.

What settings were you on when u took that screenshot?

Your video card's likely broken or overheating. Make sure the computer's not full of dust. If that doesn't help you may need a new video card.

I'm leaning towards this too:

Pull out the video card, used can air to clear out any dust / muck that could be jamming up the fans.

Also try updating the video card driver.

Thanks for all you help guys, I found the problem

The fan on my graphics card is broken. At the moment I'm using a desktop fan to cool it instead >___<

I was going to say for sure it's your video card.. The same thing was happening to me on another game last year.. I got a new card and it worked fine..
