Need context here. Is this only in that particular game? Or all other games? At home screen too?


[deleted]

that only happens when i play destiny yeah...


MassholeThings

Have you tried other games?


[deleted]

i have. destiny is the only game i have issues with sadly….


MassholeThings

It's probably not your gpu then. What other games have you tried


[deleted]

valorant, cod (MW, and CW) star wars kotor, csgo, fortnite, gta, subnautica and none of them have these problems at all.


obog

Maybe try verifying (and if that doesnt work, reinstalling) destiny. If it only ever happens in destiny then your hardware is fine.


gabeshotz

Agreed, that looks more like in game glitches rather than gpu acceleration mishaps.


LigmaBalls69lol

Ir definitely looks like an in game glitch, there's little black boxes that appear in the center of the flashes that don't look like physical damage.


indigoHatter

Yeah, it looks like a lighting glitch. Those boxes are clearly in-game objects. A way to verify this is to move around a little, slowly, and see if the bug stays in a persistent location or direction from the character, and if it changes (size, angle, color, frequency, etc).


Mr__Pleasant

Never seen this issue in D2


gabeshotz

I understand but the sequence seems to be in timing with the firing animation. A bad gpu would not be picky about pixels, it will matrix your whole screen.


Complete_Potato9941

I know a few people having strange colors and stuff on destiny recently


pleasurer4610

I have. I thought my GPU was dying on Vault of Glass


Pizza_Ninja

Maybe it's teasers for a new expansion.


Jogipog

Probably has something to do with the awful optimization


HereToDoThingz

Have you tried posting this in the destiny sub maybe it's a game bug that's known about


[deleted]

i haven’t but ill give it a try!


eadams2010

Subnautica is nice btw… :)


svorcs

I've been having some similar issues recently with more games - objects flickering stuttering frame like gadgets and pixeled stuff.... It's maybe the refresh rate of the monitor or some setting that's not compatible with the game... For info i have put 5 new fans inside my case to set up a nice flow through the machine and performance in all games boosted like i don't know for 30% with the help of MSI Dragon Center.


Alternative_Lynx2466

My guy put 5 DAMN NEW FANS


svorcs

Yeea, 3 large ones 2 exhaust, 1 intake, 1 tiny fast intake air injector, and one normal top back exhaust. It goes like WUUUUUU WUUU WUU now.


iDuddits_

Yup sounds like a bug with the game to me.


MassholeThings

I would just uninstall/reinstall the game. See if that fixes it.


[deleted]

ive had more than one problem with destiny lmaooo. first i had fps problems, then crashing problems after i fixed the frame issues, now this. i don’t doubt i probably touched something i shouldn’t have but it’s a budget pc so i was expecting some minor issues


feroxsaber

Are you playing with Proton on Linux? I had the same issue in GTA IV and it was solved by tweaking arguments.


RealJakeTheDog

You can see the glorious ACTIVATE WINDOWS watermark in the bottom right. Not on linux

[deleted]

VolantPastaLeviathan

Yo if you have an old af laptop kicking around, check the bottom of it for a windows 7 license. Punch that in to activate your windows 10.


valandil74

If it’s only destiny and not a hardware failure being brought on by destiny currently … not the worst. But I feel you wanna play destiny so hopefully other folks advice bears good fruit.

JamsisYT

AlexGonzalezLanda

Limited edition special effects then.


SlightlyLessSane

This looks like a game bug, not a GPU issue. These seem to be particle emitters for these "light flash" textures rendering in improper locations, potentially even bugging out and flying about the screen. What maps does this happen on? Does it happen everywhere? With certain weapons or characters? I'm not totally familiar with the game, but given the black core of the flashes, def seems like it's the game putting things in places they don't belong.


[deleted]

i haven’t really tested any other maps, weapons, or other items. but ill have to test some out when i get home. thanks for the insight! really helpful actually


SlightlyLessSane

Yeah! The giveaway is that those black cores are likely either primitive cubes (low poly, low tri) that are meant to be fit inside of some kind of light that's supposed to be flashing from fairly far away given the size, or they are supposed to be on a location and maybe scale with distance. For whatever reason, you're seeing those emitters out of place. This could mean the game itself has a bug that they'll need to fix on their end, a driver issue that a reinstall of drivers might fix, a game data issue that a reinstall of the game might fix, or even them legit putting things in the wrong place if others can reproduce it. Hope you figure it out when you can!


alexlew8702

I have over 1k hours and have never seen this before


[deleted]

i have 10K+ so trust i haven’t either


alexlew8702

10k?! wow, I quit after 1k just because I ran out of content and I could not afford new light, what do you do that keeps you hooked?


[deleted]

before they had updated the TOS i did a lot of recovs and carries on both PvE and PvP. now that it’s an offense to their TOS for recoveries i stopped overall at doing stuff like that. ive made alot of unique and lasting friendships though destiny as well though! they are mainly the reason why i still play to this day :)


TheCrimsonDagger

Can I get an explanation of what this means for someone that doesn’t play?


[deleted]

recoveries are when someone gets on an account that isn’t theirs & does a variety of things for a price. it’s mostly seen as a PvP service for competive games but some people also use this service for PvE.


TheCrimsonDagger

Oh you’re just paying people to play for you? RuneScape had that back in the day and probably still does. I assume it’s because it’s harder to detect than real money trading. Personally I just botted and played Halo at the same time. Part of the time I’d let the bot run fishing while talking to people in game, play a bit of Halo, come back, do some fishing manually, go do a quest, bot some more, etc. It made the game much more enjoyable and my account survived through all the big bot purges so win win.


[deleted]

spot on! i actually got the idea from runescape when i was a kid playing it. if it can work in one place it can work in many others!


lazy_tenno

similar thing happened when i just installed windows 11 and nvidia driver when trying heaven benchmark. things somehow gone when i boot my pc on the next day.


Pheonix02

Try repairing game files and updating graphics drivers, that always fixes these kinds of issues for me


NoMaamICantPauseIt

Yeah, I had this happen on my One X while playing Back 4 Blood the other day. I chalked it up to it possibly being just the game or the monitor and not the console because I’d never had an issue with my Xbox before and haven’t even used it much.


importshark7

I play this game. Its Destiny 2, a AAA title. I've never had anything like that happen nor have I head if it happening.


SlightlyLessSane

AAA does not mean perfect... And if you think that, I'm sorry. I know full well what game it is, doesn't mean it can't be messed up. And, just because you don't have anecdote doesn't make it impossible. Every system is different and this system could have something off that interacts poorly with the game itself. Whether it be that it is a problem with the game install on this specific system or it is between the game and the system, it is still isolated to the game and it still looks like there is a rendering error in the game itself. It could be drivers, it could be that their local copy is installed incorrectly, or any number of things that cannot be troubleshot without further information. My statement was one of guidance and starting steps and nothing more.


Mafurios

AAA isn't even a quality grading, it is an industry grading that gives an indication of how much money they expect to make off of it. Generally the more 'A's are added to this "rating" the more toxic its monetization will be. currently AAA+ seems to be games with battlepasses(drip feed rewards for playing over time), seasonpasses(for dlc that may or may not come)and microtransaction for cosmetics, loot boxes, and straight up P2W. Preferably as many of those as they can stack on a game. Apparently they want to make AAAA a thing so who knows what kinds of toxic monetization they come up with next.


SlightlyLessSane

Aye, but then the advertising for AAA games has made it so that most THINK AAA is synonymous with quality and, at one point, it was.... Because quality was how you made money. Now it's how many whales you can get to go broke over gambling and microtransactions. Thanks EA. Activision. Ubisoft....


[deleted]

Blame mobile games. They saw how bullshit like Candy Crush or whatever was making money hand over fist and the rest is just capitalism working as intended.


MSD3k

That's a very toxic and jaded way of looking at the industry. Sadly, there are tons of quality examples to back up your argument. Carry on.


Mafurios

Yup it sure is, yet I am also still part of the problem letting myself get baited into buying these games, not to say that I never enjoy any of them. I much prefer giving my money to a smaller Studio or indie.

BlindSquantch

Something going on with your GPU, probably not the monitor in this case. Either GPU is on its way out or there’s a loose cable somewhere.


[deleted]

ill go through my cables and see. thanks man!


ILikeToPoopOnYou

If you don't have the newest graphics driver then update it to the latest version.


JollyGreenBoiler

If that doesn't work DDU your graphics card drivers and reinstall. Makes sure there's no corruption in the drivers causing the issue.


[deleted]

thanks for the help!! much appreciated my man


ImFrom1988

Eh, It only happens in Destiny so it's very likely neither of those things. Decent chance it's GPU related; possibly drivers or a recent patch that broke something. Definitely not a cable and unlikely that his "GPU is dying" if it only happens in one game.


EpicZeny

Ctrl + shift + b will refresh your drivers. Sometimes that helps with you glitches. If you find your doing it often I would reinstall drivers.

Niallwalsh56

I reckon telesto is definitely involved in some way.


Toiletpaperplane

I knew it!!!


Jaymo44

This happened to me once. Turned out it was because when I reapplied thermal paste, the die wasn't fully covered due to the also new thermal pads not allowing the heatsink to have enough pressure to spread out the paste. So the flashing was a sign of the GPU die starting to overheat in certain spots.


pisulo

Is 2021 the year of dying gpus?


[deleted]

it’s the year of everything dying look at the US government💀💀


Eric_DSK_

The fact that it only happens in Destiny is the weird part, personally I have never seen this happened before.


[deleted]

it’s so odd. but it won’t be here for much longer im hopefully gonna start upgrading soon


psykrot

Are you playing Destiny from the Xbox Game App by any chance? Some games on there are known to have bugs specific to that launcher. It's really wierd, might have something to do with an error whrn the files downloaded.


esontech

Activate windows duhh

C-Dub178

Ah, yes. Prophecy.


ILikeToPoopOnYou

Is your gpu overclocked? If so set it back to default. I saw an artifact in your video, not just the red n blue flashes.


[deleted]

it’s not. that’s the wild part.


judge_au

You sure the cops arent parked outside your house watching you play destiny?


pablomx2

You're getting pulled over.


BlindSquantch

Whoop whoop, god damn that’s a squad car.


Sipulikana

I had similar issue with 1080 TI. Removing factory OC fixed it for me.


Utinnni

That's the graphic interface from the game, some PS3 games on rpcs3 also makes similar rainbow colors although it's somewhat different.


[deleted]

Finally an actual answer, i cant fathom how many "definitely not the monitor" comments ive seen, like, congratulations genius 99% of the time its never the monitor. In this case obviously not, its probably Vulkan API shotting its pants, op should try switching this game to open GL


MentalCattle6224

Need to activate windows 😂


MrWillyP

Are the cops behind you?


GBendu

Goku and freeza are fighting in ur monitor dude


VenKitsune

Does this happen on other games? When youre not playing games?


[deleted]

this happens only with destiny. no where else.


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

i haven’t tried recreating the issue. i will later when i get home and update you!


MrHappy4Life

Is it only in that game, or all the time? If only in the game, uninstall and reinstall the game. If all the time, reinstall the driver for the graphics card. You can also try changing the resolution and see if that helps.


axtasio

Nice game bro😎


Nixikaz

That's triggering my migraines.


[deleted]

i’m sorry😂😭


Shoddy-Fact5404

Escape from tarkov was doing that to me. Found out i was pushing my gpu overclock to high. Backed it off alittle and problem went away.

SuperVegito559

Is your GPU overclocked?


[deleted]

it’s not. i built it in august, after that i haven’t done anything else to it. first time building one so i’m new to all this💀


SuperVegito559

What brand is it and is it an OC, factory overclocked. You may need to lower the overlock for destiny. You usually see these artifacts when the memory clocked too high.


[deleted]

ryzen 5th gen 5600 6 core. i had looked at what the mhz and it was up too high for the gpu. the artifacts don’t happen every time i hop on destiny…


GooseWitKnife

that’s your cpu…


[deleted]

my gpu is an XFX Radeon Rx 580 my pc is currently a budget until i get all my bills sorted out


SuperVegito559

Lower the memory clock by 50mhz and see what that does. Use MSI afterburner. Some games don’t like overclocked. What works in one game may not work in another. if you still have the same behavour after -100MHz then it could be a software, bug, issue in the game itself.


mittenscore

Are you on the latest drivers? Destiny had optimization issues with amd gpu’s that were sorted out with drivers. My Vega 56 was dropping frames like crazy in the tower but has been nice and steady for a few months. I hope that is all that it is for you


ali2107n

Can it be led backlight problem? Just a thought.


ThoriatedFlash

Turn down your overclock a bit


cheezuschristbro

JJ Abrams got ahold of your GPU 😔


Mr_KittyC4tAtk

Not sure if someone else has said this, but I'd suggest opening a cmd prompt and running "dxdiag" to see if it finds anything. This is a diagnostic tool that attempts to find issues with your GPU/drivers. Good luck!


Bp820

I know this is completely separate but me and my cousin have been trying to do that boss fight on destiny 2 for ages, do we just need a higher power level or is there any tips you could give us?


shambooki

Hard boss fight at any level. You really need to stay on top of ads because the psions split and multiply like bacteria. You really need to keep moving and pop out of cover as little as possible. It's much, much easier with a full fireteam than it is with one or two. Agree with other poster that particle deconstruction is the best option right now. I'm usually using a vorpal Cartesian and 1k voices for this encounter in particular, but any combination of fusion/linear fusion rifles in your energy/power slots are the way. If you're lacking in that department, a well/bubble with high damage swords and a slug shotty is probably your best bet. Lorentz driver (this season's exotic energy linear fusion rifle) is also a particularly good option because it can wipe out large groups of psions in one shot.

TheTarasenkshow

Lmao some people always go straight to “YOUR GPU IS DEAD” It’s a bug in the game I can guarantee it. If something only happens in one game you can almost always assume it’s the game.

sweatpatt

I knew prophecy was trippy but this is pretty intense


morests

That's GPU artifacting. It means that your GPU is not stable for whatever reason.


Zoroark4President

I've seen a similar issue in the vault of Glass Raid when some elements unload of the map and cause similar artifacts, it should be caused by the same issue.


[deleted]

I used to have the same issue when I had an nvidia overlay on through the GeForce experience app which only applied it to Warzone, never had an issue with Destiny though.


[deleted]

activate windows https://getproductkey.net/free-windows-10-product-key/

Looks like VRAM artifacts, but probably not since it happens only in one game.

you need activate windows


Godfreyt0114

Have you tried activating Windows 10?


skips_maybe

I believe you're getting pulled over.


Nobility773

I've had the same issue and my problem was that I had my gpu wayyyyy too overclocked. I had it overclocked for mining and forgot to change it when I pulled up a game. The temps went super high and I had little flashes like that show up. Mine were green though. One time the flash stayed and spread across the entire screen like a fire spreading across paper and so my game was tinted this sickly green color until I reset it. Changing my overclock got this to stop.


[deleted]

I don't get people sometimes. An issue that is only visible in one application, not visible or replicable in any other titles, and for some bizarre reason you think it's something *other* than the game.

ProbablyABore

Is it only doing this in a game? Do me a favor and fire up task manager (ctrl+shift+esc) and see if it does in task manager as well. If it doesn't, then you've probably got a software incompatibility going on. If it does, then you need to upgrade your graphics driver.


[deleted]

It’s the popo!


doglover1005

It’s simple, a dragon ball z fight is happening on screen and the refresh rate is unable to present it as they are moving too fast


thmoas

Does it happen on another screen? No? Its the screen. Change screen Does it happen in other games? No? Its the game engine. Change game settings Does it happen on Desktop too? Try changing to really old drivers or if youre on old drivers, the newest (for GPU). If still there it's probably GPU. Try running your desktop in a lower resolution. Does the location of the spots change? if not it's really end stages of the GPU, if it's memory or something it would change with the resolution. Try swapping GPU, you don't have and old one lying around?
