    Bad Sandbags

    I seem to be having a graphics issue with battlefield after recently installing it on a new computer. Almost all sandbags I've encountered in both PoE and PR have strange skins. They appear either metallic, reflective, or monochrome. I would post an example screenshot, but I don't seem to be allowed to. (Spambot control reasons I suppose.)
    I haven't noticed it happening in vanilla, but then again, I haven't played much vanilla since the new install. If anyone could offer an idea what the problem is and how to fix it, that would be great. I can post video specs if need be.

    Me too, not as often but I used to get it on vanilla battlefield occasionally. Haven't a clue what causes it so I would be interested to find out. Good Luck.

    Same here, don't know about vBF2 as I only play PR.

    Tried a lot of Catalyst drivers, no luck...

    Screenshot! I'm really curious about anything which makes others see different things than I.

    The messed up sandbags have been around since vanillas release. You'll only see the issue if a certain setting(s) is set to high. The sandbags use 'parallax' mapping on high settings so something is going wrong with that.

    This topic has a couple screens icky:

    Ah, I see. A kind of 3d-effect applied to flat textured surfaces. When it's broken, you instead get a flat effect applied to flat surfaces.

    Do you know which settings adjustments would fix the problem?
