soldier1969 10 Posted July 11, 2009 Why is this so blocky and textures screwed? If I known there was a known issue with ATI cards i wouldnt have spent my hard earned $50 tonight downloading this off of steam. It took 3 hours on top of that. Wow what a huge waste of a game. The demo worked fine for me, but now wtf? Its unplayable. It looks like Atari day graphics to me. Im pissed!

kridian 33 Posted July 11, 2009 Blocky textures? You're not getting that 'splintering' effect we've been discussing in other threads are you? Can you be more descriptive? Have the same card and having no problems at all but I can suggest trying the 9.7b Catalyst drivers here: link I'm sure your solution is somewhere on these boards.

soldier1969 10 Posted July 11, 2009 I will try 9.7 beta drive see if that helps. Yeh splintering and big blockiness to the whole screen. It looks like a early phase of the game without any details. Solid colored objects, buildings, helicopters etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
von_paulus 0 Posted July 11, 2009 Choose in Video Memory settings the option Very High. It worked with me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mr_centipede 31 Posted July 11, 2009 same thing happened to today, out of a sudden. turns out that my AVG is running a scan... It starts with a sudden dips in FPS then i use FLUSH command and got the blocky texture. exit the game, and found out that my AVG is running a virus scan. Just saying that sometimes external thing can have an influence too. Figure I'd share the experience. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
