During some games, I find that some ship models (most noticably big ships, like the mothership, carriers, and frigates) will be missing some textures.
This is much easier to see than have explained, but as I have no web hosting, I'm going to describe it...
Imagine that some large panel that's part of the mothership's model is just completely missing. You can see the inside of the model - as if the mothership was a hollow shell.
Now imagine this with several panels from all the models. Sometimes it's just one or two missing panels, sometimes there are so many missing panels that I can't even see the ship at all. (This happened with the Vagyr carrier in the 2nd single player mission.)
This usually only happens at certain levels of zoom (random each game in which it happens). Maybe the panels are missing at max zoom out, maybe at max zoom in, sometimes inbetween.
Windows XP Home, Athalon XP 2600+, Radeon 9700 Pro, Catalyst 3.7, directX 9.0b. I also frequently suffer from the black screen of doom on game start, as described in other threads.
I can take screenshots if anybody wants to see what I'm talking about...just keep in mind I have no webspace, so I'd have to use some other transport medium (email, icq, etc).
I've got nothing that jumps out at me in my hw2.log...I'll post it at the bottom anyway...
