Forum image burning onto screen : V

» Sat Dec 10, 2011 11:32 am

Ok, so Im getting a very strange visual bug in my game. Every time I go underwater there's an outline of a warrior with the horned helmet on. Its only noticeable under the water, but it dos seem to appear out of the water too, although its a lot harder to see. It looks almost like an image burnt onto the screen, although its obviously not since that image doesn't even appear in any menu, or screen that Ive seen. Also its not burnt on any other games or anything else. Is anyone else experiencing it? Ill take some pics, but I don't know if it will show up enough for you to see it. I still have to test ans see if its happening to any other of my characters.

So I took several pics, but can really see it, since every time I look at the pics (which I can't even find a way to zoom in on) I just see the burnt image that on my screen regularly. Not even sure burnt images would show up on an in game pic, since its on the screen and the pic is just data, although I'm not sure. Whatever it is I'm not making it up. I have no reason to and would appreciate it if the mods didnt close this. I would not send out emails to the admins if I were making this up.

You may See the faint outline, may not. I know I do and its most visible in the murky waters with nothing in the background (like rocks in the water and such) to obtrude the burnt in image. I swear I'm not making this up. I wouldn't have went through the trouble to lie about this. Zoom in on the pics and hopefully you can see them. Although its definitely not as bad as it was last night (maybe why it isn't showing up so good in the pics).

Edit: I'm off to take more pics since those weren't very good at all.

I don't see anything o_O If the image was burned in, it would be monitor damage, not something you can see on a screenshot.

Edit: Open up paint or something, and make a full screen pic with a black fill. If you can see it then, it's likely burned into your monitor. I don' think that's fixable :/

I dont see it

I don't see it, and if it were happening, a screenshot wouldn't capture it anyway.

Note that to zoom in/out you use [ctrl] [+/-]

I'm afraid I don't see it. If it is really burnt into your screen though I shouldn't be able to. It's physical not digital so the screenshots won't pick it up.

I don't see anything, it's your monitor.

If these forums are ruining your monitor, why did you come back? It doesn't make sense...

» Sat Dec 10, 2011 12:46 pm

Um, I'm not seeing anything, perhaps you'd edit one of the pictures and draw a red line over the faint lines you are seeing so we know better what to look for ?

Are you playing on a plasma TV?

Things burn into plasma TVs. A screenshot wouldn't capture it if it's the screenshot itself.

That sounds creepy(for some reason...) Quick! Someone wright a creepypasta about it!

I don't see it

Maybe it's just burnt into your retinas instead.

So theres no way to prove it? Great...

You could show someone your monitor, but I'm not sure why you'd want to prove it.

You could take an actual picture of it with a camera.

Because my last thread about this got closed. That's why Id want to prove it. Although it seems I cant. Its burnt onto my screen on my LCED and apparently only shows up on murky green and grey backgrounds just like the water in skyrim. The forum image screed my TV over. lame. Maybe Ill take a pic of it with my hand held cam and post pics. Ill be back.

Indeed, if you suspect your monitor has been damaged - not sure how, though - you ought to take a pic of the monitor itself.

Alternate solution : have you slept ? Asking that extremely seriously. I know that when I haven't, and when I have stared for too long at a screen - like, say, playing an extremely engrossing game

- images tend to stick and flash before my eyes. *shrug* It could be simply your eyes playing up on you.

taking hand held pics now. give me a sec since it will take a sec to load them up

» Sat Dec 10, 2011 9:47 pm

It's impossible for something burned on to a screen to be included in a screenshot, lol. You need a camera.

» Sat Dec 10, 2011 12:38 pm

yeah sounds like screen burn to me. I got it on my last TV from a very long loading screen, it really svcks.

» Sun Dec 11, 2011 2:11 am

ok took the pics, just need to jump on other PC to upload them. I pray you guys can see them. Its hard taking a pic, while drowning, while moving, to get the image ghost lines to show up. be back.

LCD's do suffer from a form of burn in, but Crystal Memory is much more common and is in most cases fixable by playing a slide show of RGB at high brightness for a few hours. CRT burn in is not fixable.

This is a good point. Try going to Youtube and watching an LCD fix video on fullscreen.

Yep, had this happen to me before -- with an image of a Spongebob flower nonetheless. Was pretty noticeable, too... Still images can cause it to happen.

my cam isn't the best, but you can see the outline. And its obviously a lot clearer and annoying in person. Especially since I'm using a 37 inch tv as a monitor, I have to sit closer to it than you normally would a TV.

Please tell me you can see them.

I petition for the removal of than damn static warrior in the background of the forum.
