Texture Creation Error?

[RELIC]

New install of game after installing GTX 1080 card.  If I go into the game and change the graphic settings the game display goes nearly black and I get a series of Texture Creation Error messages in the text box.  Tried reloading several times with the same result.

Did you get rid of the drivers of your previous card properly before installing the new ones? Display Driver Uninstaller is the tool: http://www.wagnardmobile.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=673&sid=cc5a0819a84d6289f2f4ba99d726b5cb

Yes.  Did an uninstall and ran driver cleaner.  My first post is misleading - sorry it was late and I'd been trying to fix this for hours.  The problem apparently happened when I had the old card.  I was getting those micro stutters and thought removing AHIII and doing a new install would help.  The problem arose with the new install and I just let it go hoping when I put in the new card things would be fine.
It's odd - if I don't make any change to the graphic settings then things are fine.  Make any change and then when I go to the hanger it's crazy dark - then if I go back to the tower its OK, until I log out when EVERY screen goes near black.

Which drivers are you using? It seems that there's been issues with the recent Nvidia drivers as per http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/index.php/topic,383196.0.html and https://www.neowin.net/news/psa-nvidia-game-ready-37586-drivers-cause-massive-performance-issues

Yep I started out with the new drivers and then rolled back to 375.70.  Didn't run driver cleaner however...

Try it, that's the best advice I can give.

Cleaned all the Nvidia drivers and installed 375.70 - no luck.  I could not get a screenshot to work (no idea...) but here is pic of the error messages:

I did a complete wipe of everything AH this morning and redownloaded and installed with no luck.
I'm all out of ideas at this stage...

A couple of far fetched ideas: Do another clean install of AH3. This time, in case you've done the download with Chrome, use another browser. Second, check your firewall settings for AH and allow every instance you find for it. Further, disable your antivirus during the download and installation. You can put it back on after having installed AH.

Worth a try, but still no luck.

A lot of people are using the 1060 without any issue (other than the nagging stutter).  What model did you get?

A DXDIAG output might show something.

This is the card:

I emailed you a dxdiag.text file.

Let me know if you need any more info.

Thanks!

and to clarify, this problem arose when I still had the old card and did a reinstall of AH.

Problem solved - the max texture size was blank on the startup screen.  Changed it to 4096 and then the game did a download and viola - fixed!

So simple, yet something that doesn't pop into your mind immediately! Glad you got it fixed.
