I launched Left 4 Dead 2 in Medium graphics settings. I keep seeing colors and distorted images all over my screen. All I could see was a crosshair in the middle and my health bar. I still had a low FPS EVEN if I set ALL my graphics settings to "low". This even happened in Left 4 Dead 1 ! This is CRAZY ! I thought that graphics cards with 128mb memory and DirectX 9.0 compatible is enough to run Left 4 Dead (It was stated in Left 4 Dead's README ). My pc specs are :
Pentium 4 2.8 GHz, 1GB RAM, Geforce FX 5500 256mb graphic card.
The FX5500 is pretty old. When's the last time you updated your video drivers? Looks like drivers from 2008 were the last available. You may wanna consider getting a new card.
