Hey all, any idea why this would be happening? For the first 5-6 hours I played fine but randomly I started getting a vertical artifact type graphic glitch. I thought it was a part of the game because it happened after a quest so I thought it was normal, even though it made it almost unplayable, but I watched some YouTube videos of people doing it and theirs doesn't have this.
Example 1 (Vertical lines/artifacting in dark areas and surfaces)

Example 2 (Artifacting on dark surfaces and vehicle light bug)
It is worse in dark areas or dark surfaces. It looks much worse in the actual game compared to watching the video (Note that the darkness and artifacting isn't a low quality video rendering issue, that's how it is in-game). I tried restarting the game, I reinstalled nVidia drivers (clean install option from website download), and tried changing all game graphics settings between every preset. I am thinking there's a bug with this save file and that I'm out of luck. I searched online but didn't see anyone else have this same issue.

Edit: Yep, looks like a problem with the save. When I load a save from last night when before this started, there are no graphical issues. This started happening after one of the braindance quests with Judy/Silverhand if I remember correctly, and the issue kind of resembles some of the braindance graphics, so it may be related and it's why I thought this was normal... Unfortunate because it really does make the game unplayable, and my last save from before this started was yesterday, with lots of quests in between.
