Does anyone else have this bug?

When I start up the editor and put myself in game with vd 2000m it runs ok although by ok I mean there are still a few lod glitches, flickering textures from time to time (especially when zooming in), but when I increase vd to 4000m almost instantly I get this and then the hdd goes crazy and if I try to go to options the game is frozen on "receiving".

Everything on normal except textures low and shadows high

8800gts 320mb 158.22 drivers XP.

your harddrive needs to load a lot of textures at once when you change it to 4000. This could cause it. Normally when it's finished loading into memory, it should be ok. I think it's most likely your HD that just cannot follow. Any size/buffer/brand of your HD?

I'm getting another with 16mb buffer to see if it helps.

I get that, a lot of people get that. Looks like the LOD bug. I have an 8800GTX and used to get that quite a bit.

Are you using the -maxmem=512; command? Whack that into your shortcut and see if it helps. Also, try switching around drivers, there's been a few new releases on Guru3D lately.

I'm only running at 1280x1024 with most things on normal so really should not have a problem with low video memory.

I disabled the page file and it seems to have worked... though I am not convinced yet I will give it a few long gaming sessions and then conclude whethere this fixed it or not!.

I'm not using that maxmem command because I thought that was only useful when the game ctd?, although when I had it set to 1024 it seemed to use around 1gb where as without the command it only uses like 250-600mb.

Thanks for the replies.

Well it didn't fix it the glitchy textures are back, really shocking this game is on 8800 gfx cards to be honest I give up, I'll try 1.07 patch when its out but I dont hold out much hope of ever getting this game working properly at least in the short term.
