Game Texture Problems!

Post by - Rx7 - »

I get weird texture problems, when playing games. If i Alt+tab, to escape to desktop then re-enter the game i get all the textures fuxored. Games such as NFS Prostreet, NFS Underground 2 and Battlefield 2.

1) Sometimes my computer automatically escapes to desktop.
2) I have to use photoshop and ps at the same time to do works for showroom
3) Most of the time i listen to music and sometimes have to come out of a game to change song.

Patch the games or get the latest drivers for your graphics card.

Have you done those two?

I think its more of an issue of Ram that graphic card. Ive never had this sort of problem since i last played nfs 5 pu, when back then i only cared about gpx cards and nothing else :/

Have you even read the first post?

Anyways, it's probably not related to your graphics card, I'm thinking OS or DirectX having some problems reloading textures and all. Not sure if there's a fix.

I used to have this kind of ****. I was on integrated Gfx back then, so I doubt it's your card. I'd go with t3ice and say change and/or test your memory rather extensively. :wink:

Also, do the normal kind of stuff: update drivers, if you recently HAVE updated drivers then roll back, update DX9/10 if you see fit, just the general kind of trouble shooting stuff... Until then I guess you should probably just try to avoid Alt+Tab-ing. Try buying a cheap Multimedia Keyboard so you won't have to minimize the window to change songs.

Actually, you may want to buy a nice multimedia keyboard, because you will get very addicted to being able to change songs at the push of a button. Miss 'em on this new board. =(

Woot for my lappy's built in touch-button's to change songs while playing Halo!

I haven't had any problem such as this when I'm playing my games, I'm not sure if its the OS, I'm on Vista and nothing gets f-ed up THAT bad....then again the most state-of-the-art game I have is CoD4....
