Texture Reload?
« on: September 11, 2004, 10:22:44 PM »
I dont know if this had been brought up before or not? I will be flying for a while when #BLAME# everything on the screen goes white and all the textures are reloaded. This usually happens over an enm base.

This has happened with 2 different video cards.


XP Pro service pack 2
2ghz P4
Shuttle 60R motherboard
512 DDR 400 Crucial
Audigy Gamer
FX5900XT/FX5700Ultra
DX9C

All current drivers. Both video cards we installed at seperate times. I also just put in TrackIR PRO (Cant remember if the problem started after i hooked this up)

Any Ideas?

O and im using 512 textures
1024 x 768
Vertical sync On
32bit color

I have the exact same problem, except it happened over a friendly field, a19

Thing is, it happened many times at the same field over the last few days

Me too and then I tried the following:

I checked off the box in vid. settings which allows me to load all textures into system mem. then I restricted my FPS to 60 fps, instead of unlimited, and I have no more problems. This uses a lot of memory but, it doesn't seem to have any negative effects, as opposed to what I was getting before I did this.

I preload textures and my fr is already limited to 60 by my monitor and I still get textures reloading sometimes. Usually at the worst possible moment too. I am using an FX5700LE card.

I've seen AH use over 700 megs of ram(although thats with 1024 textures) most likely with only 512 megs you're running out of ram.

Yep, I have the same problem with the exact same card. When I dump the preloaded stuff on the ram, it happens less, but when I pre-load it onto the vid card its awful.

system specs

XP home SP1 + most recent updates/security fixes

DX 9b

Athlon XP2500+ (1.83Gh- default)

512 Mb PC2700 RAM (at default speed/timings)

GeForce FX5600 256Mb (at default speed, set to performance)(52.16 drivers)

Asus A7V8X-X (onboard sound disabled from BIOS)

Audigy2 zs platinum pro for sound



Was using default textures 1024 i believe, and the pre loading into system ram was causing loss of UDP so i turned that off.


OK...

Today i bought 1Gb of crucial 2700 DDR ( i know i could have got the faster stuff and OC/d the frontside bus, but nothing i use this PC for needs that much speed except AH)

I also reduced the textures to 256Mb and set it to pre load into video ram

I'll try that and see what, if anything is different
