Haven't heard of that one before, so I'd be curious to see a screenshot. What driver are you using for your 3D card and has it been updated recently?

I am using the ati catalyst driver and I recently installed it so it should be up to date

Doesn't really sound like a hardware failure as those generally produce a different kind of artifact than what you're describing. It sounds more like a driver issue. So I'll be interested in those details as well once you have access to your system.

After downloading ATI latest drivers three months ago, I had the exact identical issue of triangles! I only experiences the triangles on EM which was weird.
I removed my new ATI graphic drivers and went back to the original ATI graphic drivers and the triangles went away. I was able to play perfectly.
Last Friday night I was feeling lucky and decided to download the latest ATI 12.6 graphic drivers and they worked great (no triangles).

My PC is 7 years old : 2.0 GHZ AMD Dual Core using Windows 7 64 bit

The driver I downloaded was

Catalyst Version 12.4
Provider Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.
2D Driver Version 8.01.01.1243
2D Driver File Path
Direct3D Version 7.14.10.0903
OpenGL Version 6.14.10.11631

I just looked and there is an update to the driver. Ill do that and see if it changes anything.

Processor AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3800+, 2403 Mhz,
Installed Physical Memory (RAM) 2.00 GB

Graphics Card ATI Radeon HD 3450

Not sure why a driver installation would have failed on your system. Here are the steps on AMD's site: http://support.amd.com/us/kbarticles/Pa ... dows7.aspx

Ya I dont understand it either. Is there another driver you could recommend. Or is there only one driver per graphic card?

if the RAM is as old as the core

Everything runs fin on the game except for the areas that are triangles. They change with what im looking at. There is also black triangles all over planets

I guess you already managed to cure any unwanted process while playing, like other programs and so on...

and that you try lot of parameters while inside the game, quality size things that...

honestly it remember me something i saw on a client comp some years ago with another game... but cant remember exactly..
