ParaBellum Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 I'm using the BFC version, patched to ver 1.02. My system is an AMD2600+, 1 Gig RAM, NVidia 7600GS 256MB with the latest (162.18) forceware drivers. Game runs fine BUT whenever I try to access one of the 8 or 9 (7 works fine) overhead views the whole map (both 3d objects and textures) disappears, leaving me staring at the troops' icons in front of the background texture. Increasing the object/texture quality doesn't help, neither does turning off FSAA and/or AF. Any cure for that? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewood Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 I have the same problem on a very low end machine. Try turning down the details. I think it has something to do with lack of video memory. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParaBellum Posted August 14, 2007 Author Share Posted August 14, 2007 Nope, even at minimum settings the scenery disappears at views 8 and 9. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParaBellum Posted August 16, 2007 Author Share Posted August 16, 2007 Anyone else having this problem? I somehow doubt that a video card with "only" 256MB RAM ist the problem here, cards with more than 256MB are certainly not yet the norm for gaming and I'd be very much surprised if CM:SF actually needs more than that to run properly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Molloy Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 I also experienced this problem (though intermittently, which I thought was strange). After playing with it a bit, I believe I have found the problem. Preset views 8 and 9 do not display the map if shadows are toggled off. With shadows on, the map is visible.

I remembered that I had been able to access views 8 and 9 before but couldn't figure out how I'd did it. That solved it, thanks! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
