Texture probs with 4.12 Catalyst - Confirm? | Forums

[f0rbez]

Theres a bunch of places where I've noticed textures screwed up. Noticed them over the past few Cat releases but figured they'd be worked out. Check if you guys also have it.

Here are some shots.

This is mangoriver, first flag, at the stairs where defense spawns.

I posted a few days ago about this in DocSeal's thread. If you think those are screwed up, check these.

Here is Radio

And Airstrip

These started when I went to omega 2.5.97 (Cat 4.12 beta) and persisted when I switched to Cat 4.12. I am in the process of going back to 4.11 or lower if need be but I wanted Cat 4.12 for HL2

Well, I switched to Cat 4.11 and the problem remains. I now think I have corrupted texture files. Does anyone know where I can download individual MP maps that came with the game? ie. Airstrip, radio, monkeybay, etc.

[f0rbez]

Thats really weird. I've never had anything that serious, except when using geometry instancing in FC, when it was not enabled by the drivers. You might want to check that.

i see those all the time. the game is'nt perfect they are minor game glitches.

The two main terms to describe graphic card issues are artifacts (aka anomalies) and ripping (aka tearing.) These are caused by either overclocking, vide card overheating overheating or a combination of the two. I have too many fans in my puter to overheat, but I do get them from overclocking:









This is not Far Cry specific, though it happens more with Far Cry because the engine is system resource intensive.

There's a pretty good layman's term guide here. You may want to check it out.

I recently had the same issues you describe. Here are some shots from the soon to be released mp_int:







Notice in the last screenie, DATA says everything looked normal to him. The improper colors was due to my overclocking. I have since turned down my clocks and the problem has disappeared:

[f0rbez]

The things I'm seeing are fixed and always there. Thats why I thought that if others are seeing it, it could be the drivers.

I never really overclock and haven't had artifacts in FC besides with geometry instancing. But it wasn't related to heat.

Thanks Doc, I will try and turn the OC down a notch and see if that is it.
