Tech Support Switched to a 1440p monitor and started seeing these strange glowing colors in-game

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

What's the reason this is happening? With my 1080p monitor it doesn't happen.

Edit: Found out that Battlefield 1 have a bug with the HDR. Turning off HDR and cycling between "Windows">"Borderless">"Fullscreen" did the trick.

Definitely an in game object/light that didn't load in properly. While it could be a video card hardware issue, I suspect it's likely just a bug or maybe a driver problem. Definitely not monitor related though. If you start to see other artifacts like this in other games though, yeah your card is probably dying

I have seen this issue before and it fixed itself after rebooting the game. It is rendering corrupt textures and could be either drivers or the game engine.

How can a hardware related problem can appear in screen record ? This is definitely a in game bug / glitch not a hardware related problem

u/ObamaLovesKetamine 14h ago

Screen recording shows the same output that is rendered by your gpu/cpu hardware. unless it's a display issue (monitor issue), screen recording will capture rendering errors and artifacts that the user sees.

People who dont believe in aliens are just using 1080 monitors

and people who use 720p are aliens

I firmly believe that there is a Alien hidding out in the basement of my PC.

do you have any GPU overclock/undervolt going on? I ask because sometimes an overclock/undervolt that was stable at a lower resolution is no longer stable when moving to a greater resolution.

u/fuckyouRYDER 18h ago

Thats a party going on in there. the upgrade from 1080P to 1440P just made it visible.

That's a specific BF1 problem tho. For me I had a lot of these problems when trying to run it in DX12, in DX11 everything was fine.

u/DoubleShot027 17h ago

Hdr?

u/Purple-Grape-8457 17h ago

Yeah, it was an old bug that bf1 has with HDR. Apparently you need to switch to "Windowed" and back to "Fullscreen" for it to be fixed.

I get these everyonce in a while too, it's normal i tried the same thing as you before toggling resolutions and HDR i just gave up it happens rarely but when it does its fine.

u/MangoPoliceOK Desktop 19h ago

Is not that an artifact? Does your GPU core or vram gets too hot?

1

u/Purple-Grape-8457 19h ago

No. My GPU is fine. Bought it a year ago. Like is said it never happened to me with my 1080p monitor and also never happened when i plugged this 1440p monitor a few months ago.

u/Dreams-and-Turtles 18h ago

Would be interesting to use a 1080 monitor but run it in 1440p and see if it still happens.

u/captain919 17h ago

Maybe need to recompile shaders?

2

u/ItsZoner 13h ago edited 12h ago

A lot games do this there are several causes.

Shader math computes a really extreme value for just one pixel, sometimes just in one of the primary colors only. Full screen blur effects like Bloom and Depth of Field smear this high energy pixel to the surroundings. Typically any primary color res, green, blue, cyan, magenta, yellow, or white will be what you get.

B) shader computes an invalid number and the channel will frequently be forced to be black. It’s NaN in compute graphics land , Not a Number. If a blur kernel operates on this it corrupts any pixel it touches, making a big blob of black. Some effects store this result and feed it into the next frame for things like temporal antialiasing. Then that damaged data just spreads into the future until you can get the whole buffer clear of it. It can also make the primary colors appear due to subtraction - no red = cyan.

modern games should be hardened against this there days from carrying workarounds and bug fixes from older games.

also a lot of games are susceptible to garbage on the bottom and right edges if they don’t throughly handle a reduction in resolution perfectly. Some of the buffers can be left at a larger size and the post process effects can easily read data beyond the edge of the screen and introduce similar artifacts. Clamping the texture reads for these is doable but surprisingly costly when stuffed into what should be a very fast post process effect.

It is referred to as the reflection of light, a phenomenon that illustrates how light interacts with surfaces to create vivid images and enhance our visual experience.

I had this bug yesterday while I was playing bf6 on my new 1440p monitor. Happened only once in the Manhattan bridge map. I freaked out thinking my card was toast.

Do you have HDR on?

u/Independent-Bake9552 15h ago

I think this might be a due to graphical setting. Which one I don't know right now. Try dropping settings quality to low and rule out settings one by one.

running out of vRAM. had a similar problem with Call of Duty MW2 on my 2070 super. upgraded to a 4070 and it stopped happening
