XBox360 - Artifacting/Rendering Issue | Forums

[Boomr78]

XBox360 Premium
Bought Nov/06
Never had any previous issues or red rings

Here's my problem:
The game started fine, everything was great.
Around 2 days into the game and around MemBlock4
I started to get what seems like a rendering problem.

Character models, buildings, you name it...
Flicker on and off. The game doesn't slow down, and the game doesn't stop working, but I'm about 10 seconds away from a seizure it flickers so bad on camera angles.

I thought it might be the game/disc, so I exchanged it, same problem.
Thought it might be a caching problem, so I did HD maint, and I also tried playing it with no profile or hard drive,and starting over.. same thing. It does it right from the beginning of the game now.

The XBox itself is hot (like usual) but I'm getting no signs/error codes/diag lights indicating its overheating. This issue is ALL the time. Whether playing for hours, or starting up and going right into the game cold after a day at work.

Is anyone else experiencing this?
And could it be more hardware related, or is it a glitch in the game?

Any help is much appreciated.

Seems this is more a hardware issue.

Tried various other games and they too have rendering problems.
I think my video/cooling is fooked

PGR4 doesn't render the whole car.
Just shows wheels, the driver, and a couple of body panels.
Halo3 has flickering on somethings.

Time to call and RMA
