Have you done some hardware or game settings changes lately? I think I got gfx bugs similar to that on my old computer when I ran WoW with too high video settings :g:

[Gorion]

ive got everything on full.. including aa and af @ 1028*764
 
i did update the drivers though :S

First try to reduce the quality of some of your settings. You might be lucky and it'll do with just a minor decrease on a couple of 'em - but I don't know which one is the most likely to give you a good result, so you just have to try a bit around.

If that doesn't work, a roll-back of the driver should do the trick it sounds like

If i recall your hardware specs correct gorion, you shouldnt have the slightest props running with everyting maxed out..
The gfx issue i see you got is most likely a graphics card memory heating propblem.. If the cards memory is to hot the textures can get corrupted and therefor not loaded properly, which might cause that prop..

whats your graphics card again so i can see if i recall it correct?

right its not the drivers, just got new ones and it happened again
 
this seems to happen much more if i alt tab out

I got some terain flashing and found a solution to be going to Video Options and deselecting Level of Detail which is ticked by default.  This cured the problem, although it only arrived on my system since the 2,1 patch and a simultaneous upgrade to the latest nVidia drivers, so I'm not sure whcih is to blame!

mines unticked already.
 
having it on = reduction of polygons

That doesn't mean it's not the drivers... Might be that there is some "incomparability" or something with the new drivers as well. I would give the old drivers, those you had when things were normal, and see how it looks than.
