Same thing here, only vid mem  sometimes sits at 122.7 avail with 122.7 used,  I get the radio buffer loss, usually when I key it up...doesn't just go away on its own. Then the text buffer goes.  Game play seems fine for several hours.

Last night I augered and the text buffer came back as soon as the plane crashed and I went to tower, but the hanger selection went blank after that.

I'm running an xp64 with  1.5gb Ram and ATI 95-9700 128mb card. all drivers current on winXPpro. I'm also being stubborn and running at 1024X1024 textures.

Nvidia 128 card here. Starts out around 60, goes to 130 within the first 5 minutes and stays there with no problems as long as I play. Flew all week with it maxed and no stutters, no freezes, smooth as glass.

It this an ATI thing, is ANYONE having this happen with a nvidia card ??

I have an Nvidea FX5600XT 256 DDR video card, and it happened to me last night.  That was the first time for me, though, so I have not noticed a pattern yet. I was flying B26s, noticed text go blank 20+ minutes into flight.  5 minutes later, in the rear gun, I was killed and simultaneously CTD. I had asked for a gunner to join, and they tried, but I CTD'd as he sent his request, maybe it was related? When I re-logged, and sent a join reguest to help gun for a squadie in buffs, I saw the system report my request had been sent, a second or so later I was CTD again. I figured maybe it had something to do with my join request. I have not had any other issues with CTDs, until last night, and they seemed tied to the blank text - join request thing. Maybe not though, I know little regarding these things, just thought I'd add my 2 cents...

I have an Nvidia G4 Ti4200 with 64 megs of vid RAM.  Since the last two patches I have had the blank text probs after about 2 1/2 hours of play (no CTD though).  
This also coincided with my turning on anti-aliasing.  I will try turning the AA off and see if that stops it.

Have Nvidia 5900 128 ram  takes about 2-3 hours of play to see the symptoms.

Nvidia FX5200 256MB AGP here, lockups twice a night, plenty of CTDs now too. Had very few probs in beta, think its mostly started since patch 2.04, maybe .03.

I've not seen vid mem usage get over 180, mostly in the 30-130 range. Lockups happen when opening the text buffer, CTDs appear to be pretty random. Lose the clipboard map a lot, normally able to relog before it crashes. Getting kinda frustrating- more so since I survived the 'worst' periods of beta without any more serious problems than the damage bugginess.

asus a7n8x-x
512mb ram (2700 i think)
fx 5200 256 meg, omega drivers
