Dots and lines keep apearing - Fela182 - 2013-09-11

Hi guys, first of all, english its not my native language so i apologyze for the possible mistakes that i will make, here's the deal

I downloaded xbmc today, because of a friend's recommendation and the first thing i did was download the aeon nox (also part of the recommendation). Then i went to videos , files, add videos, and selected a folder, that contains subfolders with a movie (with its subtitle) in each subfolder, in my external hard disk (samsung m3 1 tb) . I went to Movies and they all seemed fine. But with just going back to main menu and returning to movies like 3 times it started to appear some lines and dots that annoy me just TOO much. It looks like this:

i tried changing the "wall" disposal to "showcase" for example and its the same, and also the dots appear in the main menu and system settings.

thanks.

Yes, known issue : you are running latest Intel graphics drivers. You have to use an older version.

Search on forum, subject treated a lot of time.

Yep you're having the same issue that I'm having. It seems that intel has screwed us over when it comes to XBMC. If you're using a intel processor besides haswell based then just roll back your driver to the one before. If you're on haswell as I am, then you're pretty much screwed.

RE: Dots and lines keep apearing - sarlan19 - 2013-09-11

You have an amd card ?

I had the same problem. Installed latest beta driver and now everything works great

RE: Dots and lines keep apearing - Fela182 - 2013-09-12

yes, i have amd radeon 6850, so what i shall install? could you guys pass me a link or something?

RE: Dots and lines keep apearing - davelr - 2013-09-12

FYI for Intel graphics guys. Latest beta drivers don't appear to have the breakup problems. Have tested 10.18.10.3277 and 10.18.10.3282 today for other purposes and did not notice any breakup. On the download site these were listed as for 3rd and 4th gen processors..

CORRECTION - Sorry, but I have to correct my statement above. Using 10.18.10.3277 I did experience video problems with some sources, just hadn't run into them before. Have reverted back to 9.17.10.2932.

Amd 12.4 Drivers worked for me when I had a 6850 like yours http://www.techpowerup.com/downloads/2132/amd-catalyst-12-4-software-suite-vista-7-64-bit/

you could also try latest 13.4 http://www.techpowerup.com/downloads/2240/amd-catalyst-13-4-software-suite-vista-7-64-bit/

hope this helps

I have a 6950 and I still use 12.8. I never update drivers unless I'm having issues.

RE: Dots and lines keep apearing - Fela182 - 2013-09-12

i have 13.4 installed since like 6 months i think, so i dont think thats the problem.... i still dont know the solution to this problem

RE: Dots and lines keep apearing - sarlan19 - 2013-09-12

Don't mean to be rude but try 12.6 or 12.8 before saying that you don't know the solution. I belieive Vaikin and I pointed you in the right direction
