I am experiencing a strange video problem. It started just a few hours before the last update (to 1.0.3)
I am getting strange "lampshade" shaped translucent objects coming off of Avatars and objects. The Avs "lampshades" are blue, and objects glitches are red. Once in a while a green one will pop up. Scripted objects seem to do it more so. I have found one other person experiencing the same thing. His problem also started at the same time. I am running a ti4200 and he a ti4400.
The "lampshades" just start floating upwards from the Av or object. If the Av/object is in motion, these ghosts trail behind them. They seem to be causing me worse than normal lag, especially in Sims with a heavy object population.
Would like to hear if anyone else is having the same or similiar problem.
Any help is very much appreciated.

P.S. I checked all my in game settings for video, under prefs and debug, all are as they have been for months...
