danat86 Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 (edited) How about them people with missing textures. Thats what I'm interested in. This fix it? installed the driver, all textures appeared but my map disappeared instead, and whenever I press Esc, can't see any menu. It's still beta, so I will wait for final release. And on top, game is a bit clipping at 800x600 res with quad core, 4gb ram and 7950GT OC 512mb card. Edited December 6, 2008 by danat86 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pinky Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 I was wondering if anyone with 4gb and over of ram could post and say that they get the "memory leak" thingy too? I bet that is the problem, someone told me they had it (2GB ram) under vista but switching to xp made the problem disappear. dont forget vista is a ressource hog. I know, I'm running it. I have 8gig and still get the memory leak, a couple of hours in and RESC10. Never got it with the the 178.24 drivers but do now using 180.70 ones, but then I didnt get up to 60FPS either. That 30FPS shot, the car was going pretty feckin fast at the time and had plenty cops on my tail. The game is using 60 to 70% CPU about same GPU and up to 4gigs when running, I have not stopped any prcesses inthe background though and run an irc and surf the net while playing to. Probably not the best way to run the game but it deosnt stop me. Can't wait to finish work and try out the new .84 ones and see if I get any more.

Microsoft works on this title, a few builds are leaked (6519, 6801 and the newest leaked is 6956) and the official Beta out comes in the 13th of January It's like Vista, but with removed useless features and it runs faster So i personally tried the Windows 7 Build 6801, and need to say, that this Build is very stable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you have SLI you are only able to use the first cards memory, and since the game does not have SLI support you are basically running the game on a 9800GTX although I am sure that some of the 2nd "card" is being use in some capacity.
