    flickering "rain" distortion


    I am currently having this problem with "Halo CE Anniversary" but have experienced it in other games (such as Gears). All the graphics are displayed with interspersed "flickering rain" (at least that is how I can best describe it). I captured a short video,
    but I don't see a way to upload it here. It is way too distracting to enjoy the game play properly. I have two video cards in my Dell XPS all in one 2710 (yes, I know it is extremely old in both dog and computer years). I have tried assigning the game to the
    NVIDIA card and turning Antialiasing - FXAA on and that helped only somewhat. No other tweaks helped. For what it is worth, I used to have the same problem with Minecraft, but now I don't. I play that using the integrated Intel card, but that did not help
    with Halo. Any help greatly appreciated. The info on my video cards and system are included below for reference:

    Screen Distortion

    And I've just noticed whilst writing the other thread that I'm getting small flickers of the same distortion on the xbox hub without a disc being in the drive and just the blu-ray player app in the main box just being idle, I'll try and record some of this
    as well but seams very unpredictable

    Many Thanks

    Screen Fix

    You should also check out this other semi-general thread another user posted some time ago with a similar problem. Except in place grey image distortion their problem was blue image distortion.

    https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us...age-with/22cf2b81-7d20-41fc-85d5-4ffb95f54f77

    Another good thing to consider and try would be by putting your TV on cable or some other video settings like hooking up a DVD/Blu-Ray player to the TV and see if you experience the grey image distortion in those media styles as well. If you do, consider
    editing you TV's picture settings manually by resetting things like brightness, sharpness, and saturation in your TV's settings.

    There's also an Xbox Support display troubleshooter you may find handy if the other link and suggestion doesn't aid in solving the problem.

    GTA 5 weather

    It's very relative to the weather here in CA. Very Rarely we get Rain or stuff in the Inlands. If it rains, by golly it will rain. If it rains normally, it will be for a day and then go. Nevertheless.

    Xbox One image distortion (flickering image with blue lines)

    HI shaye2k,

    Sorry you're having issues with your video. When changing out HDMI cables did you change cables for both the Xbox going into the receiver and then the receiver going into the TV? I have seen from experience that HDMI cables are often the culprit for
    these issues. Also, as the Xbox is working with no issues with other devices we know that this issue does not lie with the Xbox itself. As such, I would check with the OEM of your receiver and see if there are any firmware updates and/or settings that could
    be interfering with the signal passing through from the Xbox to your television.

    Xbox One image distortion (flickering image with blue lines)

    Thanks for the reply. It turns out my 25ft HDMI cable going to from the projector to the receiver is to long for the Xbox one. I have a HDMI repeater that fixed the issue. Thanks for helping me find a fix.
