Hi all

One of our members is having this problem in TW08:
---------------------------------------------------

In TW08, after I hit a sand shot, instead of seeing sand flying in the air I see these low resolution blocks appearing (I suppose representing each particle of sand). The same applies when I hit out of the rough as well with blocks flying instead of grass blades. This happens on all courses I play - stock and downloaded. All other graphics in the game are perfect.

I've tried a myriad of graphics settings within the game... and always with no correction.

My resolution for the game is 1920 x 1080. I'm running on Windows 10 using a GTX-1660 SUPER graphics card.

Funny thing is that I also have TW07 on my system running at 1920 x 1080 and when playing this version, no problems!!!

Not sure this will solve the problem, but worth to try:

On main screen of TW08, go to: Options....Graphics....and set Graphics to: Manual settings
Now set shader level: Low ( or medium )

Did you try to run TW08 in compatibility mode ?

Go to the TW08 start icon you start the game with. Right click TW08 icon, and choose: Compatibility
Now check box: Run this program in compatibility mode
And in the box below it choose: XP(service pack 3)
And hit: Apply

Hi Gunpower.

I have it running in Windows XP service pack 3. I tried service pack 2, system and application DPI settings for each... to no avail.

Thanks for the suggestion.

Do you now what driver version you are using for your graphics card GTX-1660 SUPER ?
Sometimes the older drivers are working better for TW08 ?
Nvidia has DCH drivers ( new generation drivers )
Or you can choose: Standard drivers ( drivers from 2021 and older )
On link below you can do an advanced driver search for your nvidia card. ( you can choose DCH drivers....or standard drivers )
When you are currently using a DCH driver, then you can try maybe a standard driver )

https://www.nvidia.com/Download/Find.aspx?lang=en-us#

Note: When you decide to try another driver:

write down the driver number you are currently using ( so you can reverse back to it when needed )

Thanks Gunpower. I'll download the oldest standard driver available for starters.

I'll let you know how I made out.

Hi Gunpower.

Unfortunately, the 2021 standard GPU driver for the GTX-1660 didn't work out...but thank you for the suggestion.

Anyone else out there want to chime in? Thanks in advance.

Hi Quietly.

I have a 2017 HP Pavilion and as far as I can remember I've always had this problem in TW08. This PC has used various graphics cards since 2017 (GT-1030, GTX 1650 SUPER and the current GTX 1660 Super).

I also have TW06 and TW07 installed on this system running at 1920 x 1080 and they both run with NO sand or rough graphics problems... go figure!
