Episode 2 Texture Graphics Glytch? (No Spoilers (hopefully))

DaMaN · Post by **DaMaN** » Sun Oct 14, 2007 1:18 am

Hey guys, got this really annoying glytch happening to me in the very beginning of Episode 2 - very annoying and is preventing me from playing properly.

I'm in the antlion caverns, and when I look around at the walls and stuff, you can see right through them into the void.

It's just one specific texture, or set of textures, that for some reason I can't view, and I view straight past it into the void, getting the glytchy-look that you get when you look at a Nodraw face in a map without sky.

Anyone else have this problem? Any suggestions on fixing it?

My system's not that great, but it handled everything else fine - the first few levels of Ep2 and Portal, so I'd think it'd be able to handle this!

My Graphics card is a Radeon 9200SE, i'm running dual 1.8 cpu's, I've got a gig of ram, so I'm pretty sure it's not my system.

I've got all my settings set pretty low.

Any help is appreciated!! I'm dying to see the rest of Episode 2!!!

The textures use a new shadder, have you installed the newest drivers for your gfx card?

Excellent! Thanks Tono! That worked... though it looks a little crappier than normal. Probably 'cause of the new shader.... or something. Anyways it's working now, thanks!!

Nope!

's ok, I'm not too worried about how it looks, just the gameplay and storyline

Besides, my card's a little outdated anyways. Certainly time for an upgrade...

BTW: Ep2 = omfgawesome

I Screwed up big time, I uninstalled my custom ati drivers, specific to my notebook, which were about a year old, and thought I'd try the omega third party drivers cause ati catalyst won't let me update with official.
So everything was fine before I changed drivers, but also to note steam updated around the same time.

Now I cannont play any Source Mod or game period with out all sorts of video and memory errors. But there are hunderds of people on the steam forums all with similar problems regarding ati's latest release.

Well thats not the whole truth, oc just let me get on W0rf0x's server which I couldnt for two days, portal just about runs, but my sound is also muffled and low, which I read others are experiencing.

Seriously. WTF!
