I've attached a screenshot to demonstrate my issue.

There are no textures displaying aside from hair, names and grass (when turned on). I participated in beta with no problems save a text issue that was easy to solve. I have attempted numerous graphical settings and /flush in between each one to no avail.

I am running on a Pentium Dual Core 3.20GHz, 2GB RAM, GeForce7300GS (512 MB) set up.

Help! Please!

Have you tried toggling hardware occlusion? Or tried changing the video profiles in the drop down until the textures appear?

I started seeing this a handful of patches ago. I know I have the latest nvidia drivers installed. I have a 8800gtx graphics card. I tried some experiments recently. It seems that I can make most of it go away by turning on Highest Performance, however, that's where the memory leak seems to show up. When I run in this mode, I know I will crash for lack of memory in a few hours.

I have a similar periodic issue that appears after a few hours of playing. I can /flush mine and it will be normal again for some period of time. I am guessing that this is simply data becomming corrupted in memory and since that piece cant be read correctly is simply throws up a blank texture and moves on (instead of everything coming to a crashing halt).

If that is what is happening and /flush does not solve the problem (treat the symptom anyway) then I would assume you have bad ram on your video card. Of course alotta assumptions have to be made to get to that diagnosis LOL.

It's a fairly new pc (November) and has no issues with any other games (I run a lot of games) and programs. Like I said, I had no issues in the beta. I've tried playing with every single setting and none have worked.

I put in a support ticket as well as emails to customer support at Sigil. I've had no help from them yet. I'm really disappointed. As it stands I've now wasted the entire purpose of pre-ordering the game as I missed out on the head-start. I was really looking forward to the game, and I still am in most ways - but these troubles and the lack of support from Sigil is frankly, appalling.

I'd appreciate any other suggestions anyone has. I have also uninstalled and reinstalled in the mean time and it's still happening.

It may not be this since it worked in beta for you and you've probably not changed settings, but check you are not forcing AA in the drivers, I've had similar issues with that turned on in the past.

Thanks, but no I haven't changed any settings, and as best I can tell they haven't been changed by anything else either.

After some frustrated attempts again to fix it myself I noticed that it almost appears as though the clouds have dropped down to the characters head level, I noticed this while turning on the cloud options to high they were very close and further obscured what little I could see.

I should also note character creation and selection are fine and everything appears graphically as it should on the characters.

I'm still baffled, and still haven't had any response from Sigil/SOE. I'm more then a little peeved that I lost the entire 'early access' time to this, and now I'm wondering if I should even bother getting my pre-order.

I *want* to play! It's a great game, but I'm quickly starting to sour from this whole experience.

I appreciate the effort of this community to help solve it however and welcome any other suggestions.
