Title: Missing/flickering grey textures
Post by: ghost_element on February 08, 2012, 11:14:18 pm

I'm often getting some weird grey missing/flickering textures mostly on the ground... Does anyone know how to fix this issue?
-> Also the issue appears when facing some directions only...
Would be very apreciated if someone helped me out with this, it's getting non-playable sometimes!

And when i don't have this problem facing other direction: (image below)

Would you be able to capture an image of what this looks like?

Sure, give me a minute, don't look over the quality i'm playing on my laptop on lowest settings, atleast i can squeze 40 fps out of it.

Is this the computer you always use for this game? If so, have you recently performed and driver updates? There is a possibility this problem may be down to those. I'm unsure if overheating is the issue at the moment but the possibility is still there.

Have you added commandline for limiting graphics memory?

Post by: ghost_element on February 08, 2012, 11:40:03 pm

-refreshrate 60
-novblank
-texturequality 0
-renderquality 0
-viewdistance 0
-detailquality 0
-shadowdensity 0
-nomemrestrict
-norestrictions
-noprecache
-fullscreen

I was wondering..

Iam playing on medium-high settings, will anything from this list help me in gain of FPS or sometimes, if I lose textures*.. except of course, memerestrict ( It happens to me sometimes, the loss of textures.. like maybe 1 in 3 days )?

It can happen with that addon still but should be in much less cases.

I think i had some previous mods installed, i'll make a clean re-install for the game and see what happens next.

Sorry for the slight bump but does anyone have a fix for this?

I had this problem with my old GPU (8600gt), simply lack of resources..
I think VisualIV -mod helped me out back then, give it a try.

Same here. I had 8600GT aswell and VisualIV fixed it. But the flickering thing didnt occur very often to me though.
