Thread: graphic problems following 1.08 patch......

  1. #1
    ok so i tried installing the 1.08 patch.......works fine but when i get into gameplay (come to think of it, the scenery in the menu) everything lacks detail. the guys look like blob men, the ground has no grass and flowers, the vehicles look like simple geometric shapes. its like the textures are gone. I tried the standard delete the 3rd party addons and reinstal, but i get the same problem. I deleted the 3rd party addons and reinstaled 3 times. Works just fine withouth the 1.08 patch, but after i patch it, it looks like i got nearsightedness.
    any suggestions??

    with 77 posts, and obviously a thorough knowledge of the interweb, may I ask my you have not bothered searching, posting in one of the 10,000 existing threads on this, or even bothering to post your system specs, let alone gfx card?


    try updating your drivers.
    Sitting on the stairs at the shallow end of the gene-pool.

    First of all, I did search (obviously not thuroughly enough)
    and i didnt see anything in any of the posts about blob men and vehicles resembling geometric shapes.
    Second of all, while i understand your frustration with my seemingly redundant post, I came to these forums to post a legitimate problem. How would you like it if you took your car to the mechanic, and upon describing your problem, the guy rolls his eyes at you?

    I didnt think my system specs was an issue, given that my laptop is only a few months old. But here ya go....

    Intel® Centrino® Duo
    2.0GHz
    System Bus 533MHz
    Cache Memory 2MB on die Level 2
    System Memory (RAM) 1GB
    System Memory (RAM) Expandable To 2GB
    Type of Memory (RAM) PC2-5300 DDR2
    Hard Drive Type Serial ATA (5400 rpm)
    Hard Drive Size 160GB
    Video Memory Up to 224MB (shared)

    Searching this forum is horrible btw.

    You get a bulk list of threads, with no indication of where in each thread the words you are searching for, show up.

    Then you get to sift through [insert amount of pages here] to find it most likely has nothing to do wtih what you searched for.

    Not complaining, just stating a fact.
    Okay, I am forum lurking lol.

    Is that the only gfx card in your system ?
    If yes, it´s no wonder it doesn´t work.
    Comparison:
    Graphics Media Accelerator 950: 170 Points (gfx performance)
    Nvidia GeForceGo 7600: 1900 points (gfx performance)
    ATI mobility Radeon X1800: 3000 points (gfx performance)

    Sorry mate but the Graphics Media Accelerator 950 maybe good for
    really old games but actually not for demanding 3D games.

    Upgrade ?

    perhaps, but i dont understand how a simple patch could overwelm my system. It ran the game just fine before the 1.08. hmmmmmmm
    hypothetically speaking, how much would a new graphics car run for??

    It sounds like you have an integrated card. Not sure though, I'd never expect any game to work on a laptop, anyway. Yeah, I know there are "gaming laptops." But, where does the heat from all that hardware go? NOWHERE! And they're not easy to upgrade.

    anyway, If i took my car to a mechanic, I would tell him what kind of car it was, what year and how many miles. Not "hey fix my shit it's not running right."
    Even if it was a fairly new car.
