Objects not loading, floor not loading

edited August 2009 in PC & Technical Issues
Okay, so whenever I play, I get this horrible problem with objects not appearing and the ground not loading fully. There are spots everywhere where I can fall through the floor. I'm not falling infinitely, but I go down like 10 feet below where the ground actually is and get lag from it. I find these a lot in the desert and at intersections in Millennium city.

Objects, like I said early, don't appear. I'm running around and then suddenly I find myself running into a fence or block or something that I can't see that is preventing me from moving. This allows nearby enemies to attack and kill me while I'm attempting to maneuver around said invisible objects. One time in Open Beta I even entered a large warehouse building without being able to see anything. I got stuck in there for about 10-15 minutes before it finally decided to load and allow me to notice I was trapped inside a warehouse.

These problems make the game a lot less fun for me. It's still fun, but recently it's gotten INCREDIBLY frustrating for me, as when I'm in groups these things happen and it prevents me from arriving at the mission fast enough. It also doesn't matter how high the graphics are set for me. This always happens even on minimum graphics. And my computer SHOULD be able to perform on at least Recommended graphics because I had it fixed up for gaming.

Please help. PLEASE help. This is going to drive me insane and make the game a lot less fun in the long run if I don't get it fixed.

My DxDiag file is over the max file size for text files, so I can't add it as an attachment. If you need it, please tell me. I'll try and get it to you.

    Yeah, this problem really frustrated me too. I played the beta, but it will keep me from buying the game. I have some images to show what I experienced. I've also had problems with the UI display not loading images, similar to the options window below. If I switched back and forth from hiding the display for screenshots, it took a minute or two for the images to load and the damage bars on enemies would be a solid white bar.

    I have the same kind of issue. I have often only head and glove floating. The menu part is very frustrating since it's alway loading again and again. I have the Earth Flight power and I have a 5 to 10 sec delay before I can see the chunk of earth at my foot when I activate my power. My girlfriend have a similar config and don't have this issue. Changing Video setting don't help solving the issue.

    My stat if it can help

    Radeon HD 2900 XT
    2 GB of RAM
    Athlon 3700+

    Hunter, post:

    CPU
    RAM
    Video Card

    I'm sure we can bug you about driver versions later but get these first.

    My friend is having the same problem. He's running a Athlon 64 3700+ 2GB Ram and 7600GS AGP video card. It's just not enought to run the game well.

    As reference. I just try to update my driver and even if it din't completely solve the loading issue, it's now better.

    By chance are all of you using AGP video cards?? I have 3 machines -- my gaming desktop, a laptop, and a server. The server is very low end hardware, a 1.6 GHz Sempron + 6600GT AGP video card, and it has this problem. Textures load very slowly and it can be several minutes for them to completely load.

    So I'm wondering if it's AGP related.

    PCI or PCI Express?

    Well it's not like I'm actually going to PLAY the game on my server. I just put it there in case I need to log on and do something quick and easy. Same with my laptop. Neither are really powerful enough to play the game, but if I just need to log on and do something quick I can.

    And wow, I never read the recommended specs before. They are insanely high for an MMO. Proves they knew it's a beast on the CPU side if an E8400 is "recommended".

    AMD Athlon 64 4000+
    4 GB RAM
    AGP ATI Radeon HD 3850

    I know my processor is low and that I have AGP, but I get the same issues even on the lowest video settings. I haven't had any problems with other games on highest settings like DDO, Assassin's Creed, or Tabula Rasa.
