No blackouts. It just does that.

No blackouts. It just does that.

Two or Three times an hour.  Preloading doesn't matter.  it loads textures all over again after this happens. and is usually fatal if there are cons near. I just fly on instruments until it comes back. Which takes about a minute.

Then there is the smoke that switches between white and black depending if it's in plane with your AC or not.

Anyhow, Enjoy guys,

2Hawks,

Three things!  What Direct X version are you using?  Get version:  9.0c

What Video card and what drivers?

Get Driver Cleaner 3 here: http://www.driverheaven.net/cleaner/  Follow the simple instructions and reinstall Video drivers then re-install Direct-X

If that doesn't work...Fresh install AH2.  Defrag and Scan Disk prior to install.  Not necessary but it never hurts!

Need more let me know!

2Hawks that is weird that it is doing that to you.  The only time mine does that is if I alt tab and come back in.  Even then though it only takes a second for my system to put all the textures back to normal.

Skull and just how many people are having these same issues?  If they are and haven't reported it then it's their own fault.  Seems like 2Hawks maybe a special case considering I don't think anyone has posted this kind of error before.

Been there done that.  Tweaked with variety of drivers and have finally gone back to the Nvidia reference drivers (Yes the latest) and have even completly re-installed XP and disabled all the services that  turns XP workstation into a server. DX9c was the first install. Which Ironically doesn't matter as AH only uses a few DX9 calls anyways, the rest are still 6 or 7.
Running  XP Pro, behind a firewall, yada yada yada.

He's not computer retarded by any means. He knows all of that.

I've never had anything that major. But, the little map glitches, small bugs etc., makes the game not worth playing anymore for me.

It's been posted about. It used to be the textures never came back. So rather than whine about it, we accepted that they came back and that was our "Bug Fix". also, I know it's still beta, so I just try to ignore it. understanding it's going to be fixed someday in the future. I brought it up as a matter of priority, between adding and diddling with ENY, and working on legitimate bugs.. Like those gun sounds from Ack at airfields... Just to drop another one off. HTC knows about it , is it fixed yet?

2Hawks I did have one issue in the past with textures but haven't seen it since.  I had my manifold gauge go bye bye and never come back.  I just flew with it for awhile and next time I started AH it came back but I lost my rpm guage.  A squad mate told me the only way he got his to fix was to reload the textures.  I haven't had any issues since then with textures at all.

I understand there is alot of glitches still but I have yet to encounter any that make the game unplayable or even not fun to play.  I can see how yours would frustrate you to no end with this kind of error.
