<div class="IPBDescription">bug</div>Anyone else having this problem?
After the patch I was able to get past the black connecting screen, bug then on the RR the text on screen is unreadable, and after I join a team I see some streched vertexes (changing as I move) around the screen, then after like 5 seconds it crashes to desktop without a message
That happens only if I try to play in someones server
when I create it myself it runs fine appart from all alien structures, pistol and axe missing their textures (already checked the game cache)
Only two times it generated an error report before crashing to destkop, the debug said some textures failed to load because of lacking video memory, but I have enough
my specs:
Pentium E7200
4gb ram
Geforce 9800gtx+
WinXP 64

tried lower resolutions and windowed, didnt worked too

I think Max + co are slightly more likely to see it there.
There is an (old) CreateTexture issue on GetSatisfaction. I recently left my details there with a screenshot when I was pointed in a direction that happened to temporarily make the vertex issue go away.
Disclaimer: my system does have "memory issues" (except it's not memory...) -- memtest fails on it although it's remained stable enough that I don't have to replace the motherboard quite yet.
You should run 3Dmark, Crysis or ArmA2 (which is now fixed), probably the most intense apps gfx-wise, and see if they act the same.
I think the first thing is download something like GPU-Z and put abit of load of the video card and see what happens with the temperatures, remember your graphics card does normally run hotter than a CPU so seeing temps between 80 to 100C aint unusual.
If you want to take it a step further download furmark gpu stress test and run that, just keep an eye on the temperatures because it puts your video card under alot of strain, if there is a heat / instability problem it will show up under under that.
Have you overlocked your card by the way, and if so im assuming you've ran no stress tests because this would of flagged up :)

If you identify it as a heat issue, couple of things you can do one clean the inside of your PC dust could be in the HS/Fan! Then get riva tuner and turn up the fan speed see if that helps.
If its a stability issue caused at standard clocks then declock your card abit until you get another one, or if its still under warranty and down clocking the card does fix it, send it straight back, should get issued a new card and if your lucky you might get a better one :) :)
