Black background and skittering graphics

in Technical Help (nuts n bolts)

Hello, when I open Daz I now start with a black background and a gray halo around the cube. When I bring in a figure, it sort of multiplies the graphic of the figure as I turn the cube. Its like one hundred different images all at once if that makes sense. When I add an enviroment, I don't see this issue. Whats wrong here?

    That's a bit on the weird side even for these forums, but what it sounds most like is a graphics hiccup. What graphics card are you using for DAZ|Studio, and are your graphics drivers up-to-date, or at least fairly recent?

    Can you attach a screenshot? That might help figure out what the problem is.

    Thanks for the reply. Not sure about graphics card but I'll check. Nothing special for sure. I think they're recent, again not sure.

    Definitely looks like a graphics glitch, usually caused by the OpenGL version (set partly by the driver, and this is what drives the Viewport) being too low. Can you open the video card specs Help>Troubleshooting>About Your Video Card and post a screenshot? It doesn't matter about the blocks of text at the bottom, the important bits are what's visible at the top when the dialog opens.

    One possible cause; did you run Windows Update recently? It has a known (bad) habit of replacing perfectly good video drivers with lower-spec ones.

    Should I just reinstall Daz? I hightlighted the info so you could see it better.

    Is the Intel GPU all you have? Some systems have the Intel and an nVidia or AMD chip.

    Reinstalling DAZ|Studio won't help — that's a solution to a completely different problem.

    Well, your OpenGL version is good enough, but the hardware spec says you're probably using the graphics adaptor built into your computer's motherboard rather than a separate graphics card. If you do have a graphics card installed, that means D|S isn't seeing the card. The problem is that these on-board adaptors aren't as capable as a full graphics card.

    What kind of computer do you have, desktop, laptop, tablet or something else? Also, what's your Operating System? The next step is to go into your Control Panel and see what your computer thinks is installed, but every OS has different ways of showing this information. All I can tell you for sure is how to do it in Windows 7, because that's what I have.

    (If anyone else has ideas, please post, because I'm rapidly running out.)
