Im having the weirdest screen glitch?

My screen appears to be taking items from the textures in the game and wrapping it across the screen. Its always in bright pink/white/red/blue colours, I have to reset the graphics settings over and over to get rid of it all.
My games a legit copy as you can see it in my library, I got it on this years Halloween sale. Ive already verified integrity of game cach, looked online for answers and this glitch has been present since install. Has this happened to anyone else?

here is what it looks like.

Glitches like this with bright colours are generaly symptons of a graphics card thats under too much stress and/or is about to fail.

If your reseting the card multiple times to fix it, then your card will be cooling down every time you reset.

I have seen similair effects from the V-sync settings being off.

This happened to me as well. Curiously, it only started happening once the Tactical Legacy Pack dropped. Prior to that, this never happened. I never found a fix, and basically stopped playing the game because of it.

pops open image,

appears to be a phone picture of your screen, was the screenshot function not functioning or was it not capturing the image properly?

Eggy's initial response seemed to be wrong to be, but looking at your image I will say that card is probably overheating.

Which generally happens after its fans get filled up with dust.

The same thing happens to me. It is fixable (only for the single mission), when you go (after the mission starts) to "Edit options/Graphics/Auto detect graphics settings". It can happed again in the next mission though.
