Ok, I've put in over 10 hours trying to get this game to work and right now I'm really tempted to just get a refund. I've tried every single "fix" on this forum and on Steam's, but nothing works. This is what my game looks like when the texture cache is on high:

Setting the cache to small resolves this, but then the texture popping is so bad the game is unplayable. Any help before I go get a refund for this pile of console [censored] would be appreciated. Here are my specs:

Windows 7 32-bit
XFX Radeon HD 5770 1GB (Tried both 11.9 and 11.10v2 drivers)
Corsair XMS2 4GB DDR2 RAM
AMD Phenom II x3 715 @ 2.8GHz

I had this problem too. What I did to fix it, was go into your catalyst controls under gaming, then 3d settings and applications. Scroll to the bottom and reset settings to default. That should work. This fix also worked for me when the game wouldnt load.

Already done that, and I did it again to double-check. Still didn't do anything.

Bump.


The new v3 beta drivers didn't fix anything.

try resetting your rage config.

delete the rageconfig.cfg file
add +cvar_restart in the launch parameter
launch the game
exit the game
remove the +cvar_restart launch parameter
launch the game

Didn't work.

i have the same card and same checkerboard graphical issue, the only resolution was to turn off vsync to reduce crashes and switch to low texture buffering to get rid of the checkerboard. still have random crash to desktop after changing areas but no more checkerboard

i have the same GPU and hade the same problem, the new v3 drives fixt it four me. "The new v3 beta drivers didn't fix anything" - did u uninstal AMD catalist from add/remove programs and then instaling the new drives after restart.

Well after some messing around I got it to work by setting V-sync to always on and checking the OGL Triple Buffering box in the CCC. This was my only launch command:

+fc_maxcachememoryMB 1024

Any attempt to save or access the menu still results in a crash though, and there is still some noticeable texture popping. Trying one of FusedCore's configs simply crashed the game.
