ginger mcale 11 Posted August 1, 2009 Would like to know if possible if you guys had time to fix this issue. It seems many people with ATI cards have this problems (see sticky topic in this forums area). I have started a standalone topic because iam not sure if the sticky topic is still checked by the people in charge. Sorry for that, its just an important issue :( imN3xa0sZxU Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kremator 1065 Posted August 1, 2009 Ginger, you have been around the forums to know that this isn't the way you do things. Tut tut. Please use the main thread - naughty boy ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sorry for that, its just an important issue :( imN3xa0sZxU thats absolutely horrendous lol. i would recommend defragging your PC for one, cleaning out your PC tower with an air compresser, get beter graphics card drivers, and if all that doesnt work buy a new pC lol. my specs are as followed, AMD 64 Athlon x2 Dual Core 3800 + 2 gigs of memory, MSI ATI radeon 4850 w/quad core heat pipes, 585 watt power supply, and I have no problem running the game with normal/high settings. but highly reccomend u defrag!

Nah defragging doesnt work, i had the same but when i used the flush command it fixed itself and i rarely saw it coming back. But i havent seen it at all recently after playing with the graphics settings. I think it has something to do with the video memory setting, or whatever it is called.

When I changed my graphic card from Nvidia to ATI I also experienced this. But I changed the Video memory setting to VERY HIGH and never had it again.

volkov956 0 Posted August 2, 2009 I have a 4870 that does this as well there is an older driver that it doesnt do this but then it runs slow as hell Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yapab 10 Posted August 2, 2009 Ginger_Mcale, if you have an Nvidia card download the latest 193.38 WHQL drivers and set your video memory on "Very High" and Texture Detail on "Normal" in game and that should help somewhat. if you have ATI you will probably need to wait for newer drivers after 9.7....

nuggetz 0 Posted August 2, 2009 That's driver/hardware related most likely. I've seen A2 do some crazy things but that looks like your GPU is melting down. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ShaiCZ 10 Posted August 2, 2009 Correct. When I changed my graphic card from Nvidia to ATI I also experienced this. But I changed the Video memory setting to VERY HIGH and never had it again. Agreed, with my ATI 4850 1GB VaporX I changed video memory to Default and after ca 10 minutes of gameplay exactly the same artefacts started to appear. After switching from Default to Very High, its fine. It has nothing to do with melding down the GPU or dust in your case. What, at least for the moment, help me to get rid of slow loading textures was updating DirectX software (9c). Its described in one of the threads on the forum, cant remember which one. Beware though, I had never updated DirectX as such. This time, I downloaded a full ca 76Mb pack which updated DX9x BUT resulted in Securom issues not experienced before - the game wouldnt start even with DVD inserted. I had to turn off these emulator SW (or what they are called). So now, I can say I am playing without artifacts or slow loading textures or any other gamebreaking graphical bugs. Nevertheless, 1.03 is necessary for these adjustments and experiments are just horrible. The geme needs to run fine off the shelf, without any such tweaking.
