Title: Texture dissappearing
Post by: Tim_Freehold on November 08, 2010, 05:34:28 pm
Since a couple of days my texture's began to dissappear for some reason.
I got mods installed but i had those longer before the texture dissappearing.
Can anybody help me?

I know you have stated that this happens only in Argonath... but how about single player mode?

Also have you tried the stream memory fix?

You are seeing the textures as the very basic versions you see from helicopters & planes etc (from a large distance). Try changing your graphic settings (Viewing/draw distance especially)

It's due to many mods.

I've had the same problem for months. StreamFix doesn't work at all.

You may also try adjusting your graphics settings from the driver software itself.

StreamFix should resolve the issue of the disappearing textures (and also the lag associated with it), so refer to TheRock's link.

StreamFix itself should work, but sometimes you simply can't get it to actually run. To get over this problem, you need to find another gta_sa.exe, as it seems that it only likes particular versions (I had to try many .exe files before I finally found one that worked with StreamFix).

As a side note, if you do find an .exe that works, but it later throws you an error message when you try to start the game again, just click OK, wait for the game to start up, exit it, then try to run the game again, because those particular error messages only occur at random instances.

Maybe you should just re-install the game?

I found one that worked fine, although after some time it restarted with the objects not loading. Anyway, I found my problem. Corrupted gta3.img. No need for help with it, as I'm reinstalling my SA into a different folder. Thanks for some help, Ghost.  :)

Since you have many high model mods, its wise to "Rebuild Archive" after putting every mod.
For IMG Tool, its under Edit > Rebuld Archive. It solves the texture problems. Also, use Streamfix, to avoid lag/slow loading of textures.

Did both of them, nothing worked.
I'm gonna try reinstalling GTA SA

Reinstall GTA SA, get gta_sa.exe US1.0, StreamFix, and you have solved your problem. Also, when reinstalling GTA SA, use a different directory.
