it's always like that.
i have anti ailiasing set to 2x on my card. if i turn that off it goes to about 70 used.
those last 2 shots were taken about a hour between (of flying the whole time almost)
after reading the other posts i can say im not having any of those troubles generally. this is the first time i have had the texture thing go funny, but 1/2 my squadmates have had it. they are using ati cards.
i am running a GeForce 4 Ti4800, 56.?? (i forgot but it is the latest) drivers, 1024x768. 512 texture size, unlimited fps, detail sliders both abotu 2/3 towards performance, 1 texture to load per frame, transitions, mipmapping, so on all checked.
desktop is also 1024x768.
i have yet to see this "missing shape" message, and have only CTD once in 2.00. haven't yet in 2.02
