this has been going on for a while, before mod4
just thought i'd finally see if anyone else is experiencing this, or if something can be done about it
seems random, whenever i zone in somewhere, almost nothing has textures, just a bunch of white polygons, or different colored non-textured polygons
on top of this, not sure if it's related, but seems like it might be, whenever i try to drag abilities to my hot bar, i can't see what i'm dragging
the same goes for dragging items/enchants into and out of vaults, can't see what you're dragging
any ideas?

I really hate when it happens when you are dragging an object and cannot see it. Have to watch for the 'discard' warning to avoid accidentally discarding something
Video card specs?
How much PC memory?
Neverwinter Graphic settings?
Neverwinter Advanced Graphic settings?

I also noticed that Neverwinter has a slight memory leak that could affect your PC if you have 6gb of RAM of less (don't know if it's related to the texture-loading issue, but thought I'd mention it).

I'm using a reasonable (6x.34GHz) i7, geforce 780, fastish (~400 MB/sec sequential read) SSD and controller combo, reasonable amounts of RAM etc.. Every other game performs so well as to be borderline obscene. However, in some cases, textures in the world take a long time to load, or heck, even icons of bag contents. It makes the game look rather poor and broken, and has cost Cryptic a couple of would-be whales who wanted to have a go on my system to see how the game was.

Based on description I genuinely believe the issue you (OP) are experiencing is local; on your computer. There is likely some kind of file corruption going on there. If this were happening to me, here is how I'd trouble-shoot attempt to repair:
First: run chkdsk maintenance on my hard disk (newer versions of Windows: right-click Drive C: (or other drive is game if installed elsewhere). Choose Properties, Tools tab: Error Checking ("Check" button) - it will require a restart and the chkdsk utility will run before the desktop reappears.
If any errors are found and corrected, run it again and keep running it until no errors are found. Next, run the disk tools again and choose Optimize and defragment drive. If you have a really big disk, do it while you sleep or something.
If this still doesn't help, try the same with an aftermarket third-party utility like Norton if you have it.
Worst-case scenario: Uninstall, delete entire "Neverwinter" folder, EMPTY TRASH, reinstall (but that is a HUGE download: something like 15GB with all updates and patches and stuff.)
I hate to say it, but MS Windows has *always* slowly eaten itself alive and these kind of things happen. PROTIP: Run the chkdsk tool every month or so to keep ahead of this phenomenon.
this is installed on an SSD...tools you mentioned are meant for HDD
but anyways, i'd agree this would be a local problem, if it weren't for the existence of the occasional rubberbanding, solely in this MMO
i'd like to see if devs/mods have some kind of input
granted, it's not game-breaking, except when you join a dungeon/pvp match and can't see anything
I'm using an AMD Radion HD 6800 series something or other.

Ah yes, good point (SSD still rare enough I forgot to consider it).
I think I've experienced the problem only once, and it was fleeting, for lack of a better description, back when Mod 3 came out IIRC. It corrected itself, so I didn't think much more of it. I apologize my effort to help wasn't.
I have a 240gb SSD that I've installed Neverwinter to for a year now. I recently wiped it, reinstalled windows 7.1 and Neverwinter, and had absolutely no change with the texture-loading issue. Honestly, it's not a big deal, as they eventually get loaded.
Any yes, I too have noticed that it's more prevalent in PE and other high-activity areas.

The same here, Mod3 was when it started.

I can play the game fine, but after DoD update when i play on my notebook i get this issues. All the screen its like, cant fit on the respective places. The menu bar its ok, but if u see the AP diamond or the skills, dont fit right in the screen.
I tried with all the graphic options, i dont know... you'll see that i play with extremely low graphic options, cause this notebook cant handle much more, but it worked fine before...
my system specs are - i7-4770K, Nvidia GTX 660 Ti, SSD
Looks like everyone that complains use SSD, maybe it is causing problem - e.g. area is loaded before all textures are loaded.
If I have time, I will move game to a HDD to see if there is any difference.
Au contraire. In PvP dom, it's a massive deal. If you can't see anything during the initial crazy fight for the mid point, you're likely to be dead weight, and a disadvantage to your team.
You would think so, wouldn't you? However, even the icons for the inventory and UI textures themselves don't load for some time, in a heavily loaded instance. It's embarrassing.

nope
running nothing but pandora in background
not sure what his would have to do with anything, textures are already downloaded
unless the game is donwloading new textures every single time you load into the same place...which wouldn't surprise me
Open Nvidia Control Panel.
Select "Manage 3D settings"
Select "Global Settings" tab
Look For "Power Management Mode" and change it from "Adaptive" to "Prefer maximum performance"
It is also possible to create custom game profile for "gameclient.exe", but it stops working after game update and cannot be deleted/fixed (or I don't know how to do it) so global settings will do the trick.

This really sucks at dragon fights where ground highlights turn into big angular blobs of primary colors.
I'm running the 9.18.13.3233 nvidia driver with no problems.
Oh, sorry, yeah, for PVP it is a big deal. LOL
I've managed to test using older driver versions I have saved, but I noticed no difference regarding the texture-loading issue.
I'm starting to think that the game engine has some sort of prioritization formula that is not optimized - the engine will try to load players (and their associated armor textures) and building/structure textures simultaneously. I think that in every other MMO I've played, non-player textures always get loaded first. Just a theory, although honestly, our high-end gaming machines should be able to handle things better than this, despite which textures get priority.

I have the nvidia 340.52 driver. What gpu uses 9.18.13.3233 nvidia driver?
gtx 860m
/10char
To clarify, the version Charononus uses is found in the Device Manager, not the GForce Experience program. Also, 9.18.13.3233 looks like it's a few months old. My new version reads 9.18.13.3311
D&D Home Page - What Class Are You? - Build A Character - D&D Compendium
That is true. I could update to 340.52, but I choose not to because what I'm using is working well for every game I play atm and I go by if it's not broken don't fix it, when it comes to graphics drivers.
I'm unable to find the driver version you're using either in my downloads or online.

After some further look up about my version, it was a special package version put together for ASUS RoG laptops it looks like, so you may not be able to get my version on another computer.
