Title: Bad graphics on loading new area
Post by: Enonel on July 09, 2008, 12:38:53 pm

Hello,
when I load a new area, my graphics go bad, my character dissappears, all the buildings look like holes where you fall off the world. I need to relog to get the graphics right. And that's really annoying.
Can anyone tell me what's going on?

I updated my graphics card drivers, no effect.

511 MB is a bit low.  You may be running out of texture memory.  Not sure if upgrading your memory system is an option, but may want to if you can.  How much of a swap file did you give it?  PS takes a lot of memory if you let it.  Do you have "pre-load textures on" or "keep all textures in memory" options set?  You may want to make sure those are off as when I enabled them once, my system started behaving pretty erratic after a few zone changes.
