I have had problems runnin americas army recently as the graphics have suddenly gone crappy. There are greenish and greyish squares around everything which makes it look crap.

I have given up trying to fix this problem and have decided to try reinstalling all the openGL libraries.

I you know how to fix the problem above or what RPM packages I need to reinstall could you please tell me.


I have reinstalled Americas Army and the updated to the latest NVIDIA drivers but it still did not work.

It was working fine, and it "suddenly" began showing serious display corruption, and a reinstall of both the game and an upgrade of your video card drivers has not solved the problem.

Hmmm. Either your hardware is going belly up (check that out, it might just be that the video card is not properly seated), or this was not really "sudden"-- you did something that you may have forgotten, that is causing you problems.

The nVidia drivers contain the OpenGL drivers for your video card, so if that didn't help, it seems unlikely that reinstalling all or some portion of X is going to work better for you.

Could also be a problem with America's Army, of course... I keep hearing of problems with that game specifically.

Do other games or OpenGL apps also display these ugly squares?

Yep checked the VideoCard and cleaned a lot of dust off it but it did nothing.

I had to reinstall Fedora from scratch to get it working again.

But the good news it that it is working so there was no hardware problems.

The only thing I did was reset the computer while running Americas Army becuase the whole thing crashed. Could this have caused the problem?

I did uninstall and reinstall though so you would think that that would have fixed any problems. It must have been something in an externel library somewhere.
