textures go missing

from Sins Forums

Hi everyone,

 

I'm using the distant stars mod with diplomacy. It seems to me that after a while, especially after starting a new game without restarting the program, some of the cl textures go missing. Mostly planet textures and muzzleflashes. loading screens seem to be affected too. Does anybody know why, or how I can get rid of this phenomenon? Graphics drivers are up to date, and this does not seem to happen in vanilla. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

cl?

Are you sure as to what is disappearing?

Muzzleflashes are not cl, nor are they related to meshes.


What is your GPU?

if you are <= 256Mb, you are going to hit problems like this.

Geforce GTX 260. That shouldn't be the issue.

True, muzzleflashes are not cl, but if any other textures go missing (mostly planets) its always the cl. Or maybe it's just easier to notice. Sometimes it happens with skyboxes.

The dev exe says something like: "Couldn't find texture skyboxwhatever.dds Are you sure it's there?"

Yes I am. :\

Have you by any chance changed ANYTHING in the main directory?

nope. I played around with some textures, but that was done creating an own mod. I didn't touch the DS directory.

No, the sins main directory in program files. Did you replace or change anything?

Even if you undid it, did you? This is important.

Hey, hi Syneptus,

thanks for the replies, I managed to solve the issue. It was because of the 32bit 2gb boundary. The tool "Large Address Aware" did the trick for me. Anyway, it kind of occured to me after reading your <=256Mb GPU post, so thanks for the help.
