Ugly texture bug

[HXC 0]

I have a weird problem some textures are horrible ugly. and remain so when you approach the object. Some examples:

-A car looks like a brick with squares for wheels

-Weapons look flat (ultra-thin)

- Character come without any texture (even the color is missing!

-Walls don't have colors or textures.

It appears that the engine doesn't convert items properly when objects come in sight. This problem even get worse with the new patch . For example I sat in a car with 5 soldiers consisting of texture and colorless bodies. This is really killing the immersion of the game. Anyone has the same problems? Are there known solutions?

My specs:

Sounds to me that you have streaming texture lag from your hard drive.

To solve the low quality issue put AA filter to low.

Strange, but it works for me.

thanx for that , works like a charm was worried there for a mo.

You can try the above suggestion.

I replaced my 1 GB memory with a 2 GB dual-channel kit. Disabled the Windows swap file and now Arma is running fine

I hope you have read the thread titled "Possible flat texture fix for AGP users".

I wasn't sure if you had AGP or not but this fix has fixed a few peoples texture problems including mine

Nope I haven't. I do have an AGP card. I will search for the thread.

Edit:

I have trouble finding it, can you post the link?
