Clear ground?

[I_R_TEH_BABOON]

For some odd reason ive been getting this graphical error where 15 or so minutes into the game, it becomes choppy, slow, and the ground vanishes. You can see the grass on the ground but thats all. Has anyone seen this and/or know a fix?

Re: Clear ground?

I haven't seen this problem first hand, but it may be an overheating issue. Can you post your system specs?

That rig is more than capable. Check that your power supply is giving out atleast 20A on the 12v rail. You can find this information on the sticker on the PSU. Also make sure there's adequate cooling. Seeing as it happens after a bit of play time then I'm leaning towards a heat issue.

Re: Clear ground?

no idea, but it does sound like overheating, buy tons of fans...liquid cooling anyone?

Re: Clear ground?

Don't use .bmp The game should save two files one .png and one .jpg. Upload the .jpg file.

Also it sounds like graphical curruption.

Go to: http://www.nvidia.com/object/winxp_2k_77.77.html

And download the new drivers. DO NOT INSTALL THEM YET.

Now go to: http://www.drivercleaner.net

Download and run DriverCleaner3 Professional per his instructions on the website (it includes a boot into safe mode).

Once you have done that install the new graphics drivers, and report back.

Re: Clear ground?

I opened the case and put a house fan right next to it and i turned off all the electronics that share power with the computer and it seems to be working... one hour without any problems...

If i get another error I'll do the drivercleaner and check to make sure I have the up to date driver.

Edit: Happend again... plan B

Re: Clear ground?

got pretty much the same problem going on over here. in my case i have 2gb of ram and it plays pretty smooth for about an hour then gets kind of choppy.
