General Support / Problem with textures...

« on: December 16, 2008, 08:54:42 PM »

I managed to get RA2 installed fine, but I've been having a problem by which textures will screw up when I run the game. They change every 10 seconds or so and the screen flickers very heavily. Here are some screenshots.

At the start of a battle.


A bit through...


Then it became unplayable.


I have installed the patch 1.3 and I do have the latest drivers. My card is an nvidia 8800 GTS. Anyone got a solution?

Prepare to lol IRL (and I actually do mean it).

I actually like the guy.
(since I think his post was actually meant to be sarcastic)

Thread was sarcastic... mmm, sure it was, that was my plan all along...

Ok, here's my own shot at humour.





(Note: the guy at the back right wasn't meant to be there, he must've fallen off while I was taking the photo. Oh well.)

There is no off-topic forum! Unless this is actually an off-topic forum in disguise. But anyway it's an outrage! I will not stand for this! Or maybe I will if this is the off-topic forum. But anyway!

For me it'd be...

Anything by Alistair Reynolds, good large-scale sci-fi reading.
ALL Terry Pratchett books, they are hilarious.
EVE: The Empyrean Age by Tony Gonzales was pretty good.
And I just finished reading The Reality Dysfunction by Peter F. Hamilton, all 1225 pages of it. It's a great book but some people may find it hard to follow the story line, it starts off with about 10 characters all in different places who eventually either come together or are killed off. It's a bit anticlimactic though.
And a while ago during a holiday in Ireland I read The Algebraist by Iain M. Banks, it also branches out a bit but in the end it's a good read.

Yeah I know, this amount of reading is completely uncool for someone my age.:biggrin:
