Is that problem only in a certain mod or set of mods? I noticed it's with the indy mod in your screenie. Is that part of the platinum series? I know if you get install sequences out of whack, it can have some wierd effects.

I'd say it's more a heat issue, and that you're video card is fine from that one pic.

He is having random textures "swap" out during races everything from the track surface to the grandstands to the car's. When the race starts everything is in its proper place such as the pit crew.

This isnt nearly as bad as it happened on the NHRL CUP 2011 mod. I had everything silver and odd colors. I have no idea what it is but I will be upgrading to a quad core PC pretty soon (already have half the money) so hopefully the graphics card is not shot because I dont want to purchase a new one. Ill try to produce the issue I have in the NHRL CUP mod if I have time. The mod does not require the G2 files, its a seperate mod called platinumgrand prix. I am also wondering if it could be my card settings. But I cant be for shure without testing every option seperatly. But this one instance was just as duster described.

You might want to try some different video card drivers. The newest video card drivers aren't always the best drivers. You may just have to go through a few sets of drivers to find ones you like best that causes the least amount of issues.

I will try that,thanks. I sent you a PM ray.

And you have a PM back at you. Hopefully the drivers are just the issue. I had to go through a few sets myself, and I'm still on the same ones from 4 years ago.... no issues since.

I had weird things like that happening to me too, discoloration like that and one set of drivers I tried caused all kinds of big black triangles to appear as I was driving, even though the colors were fine.

Kind of sounds like what you have going on in a way with the colors doing crazy stuff.

yep, and that isnt even the worst case. Thanks for helping
