What OS are you running it on? If it's XP, make sure you have SP3 installed. Not installing that seems to be the root of a lot of evil.
I'm getting it first thing tomorrow, it had better work.

What operating system are you using?

Edit: heh, posted at the same time :p


The game doesn't even install without SP3 for XP I don't think. Are you using a 64bit version of the OS?

i had the same exact problem, but i had only 1gig of RAM installed. i did a defrag (tons of red!!) and installed another gig of ram and it cleared up, all textures worked and appeared normal. i think its a memory isue, not being able to dump the textures fast enough and reload new ones.
