Graphical Issues

[(TLL)KitLightning]

- Spawn Timer stuck on HUD! (A rare issue inherited from Crysis)
- Graphical abnormalities like flickering square graphics. This is caused by a corrupted Shaders folder (solution: clear the Cache folder in; (Windows XP) My Documents/My Games/Crysis Wars/Shaders/Cache; (Windows Vista/7) Documents/My Games/Crysis Wars/Shaders/Cache)
- Yellow Graphic with either numbers or letters within. (This is the graphics that are still being processed, nothing to do but wait until the map has completed loading the graphics)
- Reticule missing at random. (This is an old remnant from the Crysis Single Player Delta difficulty, the reticule will appear again)
- Terrain changes when getting near it. (This is the LOD (Level Of Detail) being processed and changes according to the distance the Player has to the object.)
- 'Mech appear without a Torso in the distance. (Again part of the LOD is still being processed and changes according to the distance the Player has to the object.)

On at least one Server, i think it was the MBO-Server, i saw lines of fire creeping along the ground in multiple directions.
As far as i can tell, they do nothing, but it looks funny somehow O.o

It has been mentioned before but sometimes when you are in or around the hangar the hud will begin to flicker black and the fps will slow to a crawl until the game is minimized then maximized (sometimes it will go away without doing that).

the reason i have not been playing is when i did get the game working when i got into a server and the map loaded i had green and other colors with text in them on alot of objects where the textures should be. is this a bug or just like stated above the map still loading up the textures? if so how can i fix it? my pc is more then able to run the mod. i would really like to play this mod been a fan since it was planned for BF2142.

that is just the shaders compiling depending on the speed of your computer it shouldnt take long to complete

Not sure where to put this, under map or graphical issue. I wonder if there are too many objects in the maps, since the FPS drops quite significantly. I recorded my FPS on Inferno.
The following FPS was observed:
Spawning and running towards hangar : 60
Getting into vehicle and walking out of hangar: 30
Walking around in the map: 25-30
Mechs/Vehicles fighting: 13-24.
A few times it went lower than 13 to a point it felt like watching slide show for a  short time when all the flamers and SSRMS are flying at short range.

The server had around 18-20 people on, my ping to it was 47-50 all the time.
My PC config:
Qcore 8200, 4GB DDR2, 4870 1GB DDR5, Vista 64.
I play on Medium setting, with only texture set to high, resolution 1280x1024.

The only place that I get unnatural framerate issues are when looking at the doors in the mechbays. Not just the doors, but where the doors should be. On every map, that's the only place where I see a noticeable framerate drop.

Running Win7 Ultimate x64 with Intel Quadcore and 8gb of memory and a 9800GT.

Are you playing DX9 or DX10? If your playing Dx9 I would say something is very very wrong. You should be able to max settings on 1200x1024. Make sure your DX is upto date, graphic drivers are upto date. Try running in DX9 if you aren't currently.

The only time I get a very terible FPS when I shouldn't is when im inside the hanger looking outside. For some strange reason that's tougher than just being outside!

That's what happens after a firebomb is dropped

Or when Marty McFly just left...

- 'Mech appear without a Torso in the distance. (Again part of the LOD is still being processed and changes according to the distance the Player has to the object.)

the funny thing about that is that i can see the whole mech if i zoom in on it. so the zoom changes the distance somehow?

Zoom changes the LOD. If you zoom in the Mech bumps up from e.g. LOD level 3 to LOD level 2 which draws it properly. That's all the magic

The reticle being missing has only happend to me as a BA, when I swap to the SRM's, fire without getting a lock, and quickly swap to back to main weapon slot (2). A solution to this is press 3 then 2 again, which goes back to reticle-less SRM, and then back again to the laser slot, restoring the crosshair.

How often can you reproduce it?
I don't recall having this bug (though Spawn Timer stuck on HUD! happens more than often to me)

[~SJ~ Xarg Talasko]

This happens often when dumbfiring SRM's then quickly swapping back to the main weapon slot, and pretty much every time, a quick 3,2 (srm/main) swap restores the crosshair.
