Hello! Your mother’s system has a minor issue with two games: Subsistence and The Long Dark. There are occasional pink dots that flash, and the recording can be captured on her monitor. These appear mainly in low-light conditions. I don’t understand the exact cause yet. Her hardware setup includes an AMD FX-3600 processor (6 cores at 3.5Ghz), 8GB Corsair Vengeance DDR3 RAM, and a MSI GeForce GTX 960 (4GB version) running Windows 10 Home 64bit. The problem only shows up in these games and not elsewhere. It seems the issue might be related to the monitor or recording settings. Could you check if the monitor supports recording and try different settings? Thanks!
It's running at standard performance levels, including the CPU and RAM.
That's understandable. In short, most things follow the usual rules.
It looks like there might be a driver problem or hardware malfunction. It could also stem from a missing texture in a particle effect. The situation is a bit unclear. First, make sure you update your graphics card drivers and reinstall the games. Also, consider sharing the issue in relevant Steam communities or subreddits to see if others have encountered the same problem.
If everything defaults, I’d follow @ampix0’s advice and delete the GeForce drivers before reinstalling them.
Sure, I'll proceed right away. I'll have my results ready in a few moments.
