True. Only happens on War Thunder. I go and play Enlisted (Gaijin game) and it runs normally. Go to play War Thunder, have to restart computer because screen gets messed up heavily.

I would check windows updates, GPU drivers, open CMD as admin then run “dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth” and once that finishes run “sfc/scannow” Then reboot the computer once the beginning updates have applied. You didn’t specify what GPU you have as well, could help in troubleshooting.

Nothing to do with drivers
GPU is AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT
I will keep troubleshooting with the person having the issue thank you have a good day.
Every step completed, I will run War Thunder now to check for any changes.

Were there windows/GPU driver updates for you to install?
There was a Windows update, and for the GPU it only said “The best drivers for your computer are already installed.”

Ran War Thunder. Had to restart computer.
Any clear regions in the screenshot actually are pitch black areas on my screen.

RIP. When was the last update for your GPU? I do not have Radeon. Was the issue occurring before the update on Tuesday? You could try to see if you’d be able to revert back to the old GPU drivers, if it has been recently updated.
How do I check for the latest update. Also, I do remember hopping on the dev server before patch day and only lasting 5 minutes before my screen went haywire. Seek and Destroy ran fine however. Also, how do I revert back to the old GPU drivers?
I’m not 100% sure with Radeon, but it would most likely be in the App they have for your GPU. But if it was occurring in the dev server as well, AND not on the previous update, we can almost narrow it down to the game itself as Pecanin said, but we had to do this other stuff to verify that.
Quick Google said you can use DDU or AMD Cleanup Utility to do this, id probably use the AMD one, idk about DDU.
Ah okay, are the apps you mentioned are supposed to be pre-installed or do I have to install it, and where do I find them ?
Believe its called AMD Adrenaline. Google that and it should come up, same with AMD Cleanup Utility.
IDK if I can put link in here but here you go, https://www.amd.com/en/products/software/adrenalin.html
Edit: If you were checking GPU drivers from Device Manager in windows, definitely do not do that haha, always use the software they have for you.
Ok thank you ! And yes I was using Device Manager lol.

Simplest way to pinpoint it as WT issue is to restart PC and play another game or few …it won’t happen there since it is 100 % Gaijin issue …it has been happening to some people for very long time now .
*If you have known about the previous bugs it looks like it could be WT.
But as the OP said, he didn’t even have the program to properly check his GPU drivers.
So no, that was not the “simplest way to pinpoint.” You can “trust but verify,” which is exactly as I have done here, Troubleshooting 101.
Update after 6 hours. I no longer receive this issue for some reason. I can finally play my Type 10 without it turning into a G Point :D. Thank you so much for your help and support! I will reach out if this occurs again. Thank you for everything !
