Same thing, after about an hour and a half my vid memory used is up to 128/128, buffer goes blank and clipboard goes blank.

ALT-Tab brings the vid memory used back down but everything is still blank.

I have had the loss of my text buffer every night since AH2 went live.

I have an ATi 9800 XP with 256 RAM and Video memory usage has gotten as high as 98 MG but I have had text buffer loss as low as mid-seventies.  Since I am not running out of physical video memory I am at a loss as to what is going on.

All I know is the constant CTDs (two tonight) and the loss of text buffer (which is the start of frame rate loss and ultimate CTD or re-initiation of AH2) is taking away from the sim.

Had it happen last night. Lost text buffer, selection screen on clipboard and all my gunsights (in a TBM). Had to relog.

I got this again today and noticed my memory used was 82 of 130mb. 80mb seems to be the magic number for this to start happening to me.:confused:

Just started having this problem since last patch or one before. CTDd couple of times. Text went blank last night, noticed vid mem at 93 of 128 alt tabbed out / in and it went to 63 but text stayed blank. Vid mem then started climbing again. Had to reload game to fix text.

Also noticed FRs are down from previous by about 10+. :( gonna get new puter soon so that won't be a problem long...
