Invisible NPC's. Black walls around the gun.

so I started playing this game a month ago, and I had to stop cause I could not see who I had to follow in the beginning, who I had to shoot and the surroundings of the gun are glitched black circle.

So I started today again cause I got a new Graphic Card, and it's still the same thing. I did hit fix so it downloaded any file that might of had missed, but nothing. Uninstalled, installed, nothing.

If you mean the two guys, one walking and the other in the restroom/outhouse. To kill the outhouse guy you have to go thermal vision. IIR you have to hit V, C, or B to bring up your IR goggle.

At the 5:18 mark.

I have the exact same problem. Running this game on DX9, with Radeon HD 7750, Intel Core i5-3470. There seems to be a black outline/texture possibly inside the characters cap.
NPC's and the first man you see in game is invisible, apart from the gun :l

Holding the sniper rifle, a black texture outline that looks like his helmet or something.

Holding the silenced sidearm, there you can see just the silencer and then a floating gun where the NPC should be there but isn't.

That large back artifact could mean your video card is damage. ATI offer a free diagnostic tools to check if your card is damaged. Check to see if your card/computer is overheating. Check to see if your RAM is damage. There is a free memory diagnostic tool called Memtest86+.

I don't think it's my problem, my computer is running perfectly fine and from research I think this is a common problem that is occuring to a lot of people. It's not like everyone's computer is overheating or component damage because of this game :l

If anyone's using AMD video cards, then I think that's the problem.

It could be ATI cards but I can tell you from experience, it might be a hardware problem. I'm not sure how demanding Sniper Ghost Warrior 2 on your computer. If its anywhere near the graphical limit you will see artifacts or experience hard crash if your hardware is damaged.

Hardware damages tends to show up when a software test your computer to its limits.

What you can do is disable all third party start up programs (DRM like TAG and Securom, AIM, Apple junks, so on). Use task manager to see all your start up programs. DRM start up can only be disable via service.msc IIRC.

Check for virus. Disable anti-virus program because a lot do act like viruses. Restart your computer. Check to see everything is disable via task manager.

Run SGW2. If it still persist. Run video diagnostics program like ATI tool. If everything is fine. Run a CPU temperature monitor program. Start SGW2. Go to where you have the problem. Alt-Tab out and check your CPU temperature. If the temperature is over 70C degrees than you have a serious problem. There might be a chance that your CPU is damage due to overheating. Make sure you test your ram too.

When everything is done make sure you restart your anti-virus program.

Yeah, same issue for me. It happens if I play in DX9 mode instead of DX11. The game has a ton of bugs and problems...

I have the same issue on a Core i7 2600 with Radeon 7970 GHz Edition.
It's not a hardware failure.

Can somebody help ?
Changing graphics settings or between DX9 and 11 has no effect.
