Grey block with LFS start up.
Hi everyone,

I have the strange issue now and then of having sort of 'grey blocks' when I have LFS opened at the standard screen (with singleplayer, multiplayer, options, ect... visible just at start up). I tried taking a screenshot of it but when pasting it in Paint the blocks don't show. My camera broke some months ago so I can't take a picture of it.

The grey blocks occur at the "End" button, the LFS logo center top, and the borders of the singe-multiplayer and other buttons. When clicking further the blocks also appear at the connect buttons and when being ingame (multi & single) the blocks are also present inside the cockpit interior (mostly at black coloured spots) and also the scenery has them.

I tryed closing LFS, reopening it but it doesn't work.
I tryed rebooting, but even then it doesn't work.
If I retry an hour or so later without even rebooting, it suddenly is fixed.
This happends only in LFS and just recently (since the latest update). I only spot it now as I don't play that much anymore (university takes my time) yet the 3rd time it now occurs isn't coincidental. But it really is random. Today at 16h I raced a bit and didn't had it. I closed LFS properly and left the computer on and worked on it in Word ect... for university, I go eat and now I return, reopen LFS and I have the grey blocks, so it really is random.

Any advice on what the problems might be ? Any fix ?

Thank you and sorry for the vague explanation but I'm afraid I can't do more

I know I'm very vague, but nobody has an idea on what the cause may be ?

Have it again
Do you play any other games? If so do you have any other graphical anomalies? If so, you may need to update your video driver, see below* Otherwise, backup anything you want to keep, skins, replays, profile/sets, and reinstall the game, it's so easy it's worth a try.

If this doesn't help, then you'll want to update your video driver, if you have the newest driver, reinstall it, but use driver sweeper>>>

*Uninstall driver, don't reboot, run driver sweeper, reboot, install new driver, reboot, you should be good.
