Yeah anyway. I have a tiny little annoying problem that’s driving me crazy and almost making me cry. Sometimes randomly (at least it seems so) my graphics decide to die on me. I get a 10-30 second lag/freeze with looping sound in TF2 and mumble. When the game decides to work again I get messed up graphics, sometimes they make the game completely unplayable.

Normally that only happens in TF2 and my windows is fine and I can fix it by restarting the game. Sometimes however it seems to affect my whole computer and I get this: http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii36/datenshi888/TF2%20stuffs/failgraphics/Untitled1.jpg . Or in worst case scenario I get a lovely BSoD. Gotta love those.

I’ve tried everything I could think of to fix/prevent it but nothing worked. Any help would be appreciated.

Texture missassigns en masse are usually caused by multicore rendering being enabled on an incompatible system. Is it enabled?

Not sure if it’s enabled or not but my system is not incompatible…

1) not overheating
2) -autoconfig didn’t do anything
3) happens with or without custom stuff like that

Hey Datenshi, what graphics card do you have and what drivers do you have installed for it?

Quoted from numlocked

that looks awesome I want it

want to swap computers then? :D

@ SnowiE

Nvidia GeForce 9600 GT, 195.62

Every other driver version seems to not work for some reason… I tired both newer and older versions but my graphic card doesn’t approve :(

@yin
Yeah that’d be the easy solution but I’m pretty much broke unfortunately…

Your system may be incompatible even if it supports multicore, some builds just simply do not work properly with source multicore.

Maybe you have access to the new tf2 update and the 10th class is unicorn :P

Had the same problem, changing the drivers for the graphic card did the trick (an older version, does the job). The only downside is that I’m not able to play Killing Floor, other then that I had no issues and newer games like BF:BC2 worked without any problems.
