Project Reality Forums

Hey there,

ive got a big problem.
Since pr 0.8 maybe earlier, ive got major problem with my textures.
It doesnt matter which driver version, still got it and its really annoying.
It comes with a fps drop so with this bugs im playin pr runnin with 5 - 10 fps
It occurs randomly on every map, sometimes after 10 minutes playtime, sometimes after 4 hours.
My specs :

Windows XP Prof. SP3 fully updated
DualCore AMD Athlon 64 X2 @ 2700 mhz
ATI Radeon HD 3850 (512 MB) **Edit : AGP
Creative CA20K1 X-Fi Xtreme Fidelity Audio Processor

I hope anyone can help me, i love this mod and now its unplayable for me
Thx in advance!
Edit : ive got model errors as well, see the last picture, this should be a motorbike, now its texture **** ^^ same for apc's etc. , not always but sometimes
The Bugs:

I think your GPU gets too hot.
Clean it, maybe it will become better.
Otherwise you have to buy a new graphic card

hey,

its cleaned, its about 60 ° C
i only got this errors when im playin Project Reality,
and im playin alot more games

to much pron?



Sorry, I would have to agree with Matze it looks like a graphic over heat. Whats the rest of the PC temerature like? Are the fans clean as it could be the heat of the overall thing causeing the problem.

hey,
thx for your help mates.
its all clean but i will check the temp with everest log while playin,
results are coming after the test.

ok ive logged the temp by everest,
played quite a while till the bug appears,
at this point my gpu had 48° C,
so its very "cold" for a gpu.
Any more suggestions ?

48 C is indeed cold. maybe too cold? just kidding.

reinstall?

Is that an AGP version of the 3850 you have?

Ive reinstalled my windows recently and i had the bug before and after
reinstallation.And ive tried grafix driver from the last 6 month, its always the same

yea its an Powercolor HD3850 AGP , forgot to mention this

Very odd looking indeed. Does the card have overclocked memory (had same sort of errors when my old 9800 ati's memory went kaboom). Try underclockin the memory and see if that helps, if so, then it's either overheating memory or broken memory (though you said you don't get it in other games, so...)

no my card isnt overclocked at all and it wasnt anytime

Try upgrading or downgrading your GPU's drivers.

Go to you BIOS and look up what your apperture size is set to.


Set it to 512 or larger if it isn't already.
