Game freezing and image blending after changing graphics card

[Nikolai]

Hey! I recently changed GPU and I have an issue with the game that prevents me from playing. The game either freezes and crashes, or the image goes all crazy and blends like shown in the picture.

Yeah, drivers are updated. AMD 6700 XT is the graphics card.

I had an AMD card earlier as well and didn't have issues.

[Valk]

A fresh install would be a good start, if you haven't done this already.

[Nikolai]

fresh install did nothing, the issue is still there

I could send you over my cfg so you could try this and see what the results are, or use someone else's cfg and see.

And u got driver from AMD homepage?? ( ofc you did )

It's a long shot, but could this line do something in the cfg? Tbh i'm just clueless and suggest to try clean cfg, if problem still there, could be some graphics setting then. Or if using 2.60b, i suggest to try ETLegacy client 😄

He use AMD, not Nvidia

I have

 

AMD Radeon RX 6800

 

And never had any problems.

Do you used SOFT for editing graphic? from AMD

I know. but his cfg has the line in there 😄 So first i'd delete that one and try.

this must be it, I used 1070 for a while before I changed my AMD GPU. What's the default command for this, I will try it out!

Just type your GPU - AMD 6700 XT. Or just delate this line.
