Blocky phaser blasts

[Archived Post]

Just a quick question.

When I fire phasers, that initial "pulse" that comes from the phaser and travels down the beam is blocky and kind of fuzzy. I've seen a lot of youtube videos and stuff of the phaser blasts looking fluid and just neat.

Graphics are cranked, except bloom, which is at 70%. VGA is a 9800GTX+.

JUST about to come and make this same post. I have the same problem and it's only started tonight, up until now it's been completely fine.

I thought it was because I updated my gfx drivers last night, but this is sound afterall. My GFX card is nVidia Geforce GT 220.

So annoying hearing the phaser blasts cut out.

Well, I meant more along the lines of this:

In this video, you can see how fluid the phaser blasts are and they have that initial pulse. Instead of that, I get a fuzzy block. Lol. Not getting an sfx error at all.

Just wanting to get that fixed. The phaser effects on this game are awesome. I'd like to enjoy them to their fullest.
