Okay, ever since I first came to the Amia server/s I've had a few little things that annoy me, and when B was put up, it went from annoying to bad. For some reason certain textures do not load for me, and all I get is pure white. I've taken some screencaps to help make sure people get what I'm saying, I'll link them below. What makes this so bad, is it makes it almost impossible for me to do anything on B server. Please, someone help me... And, don't say to reinstall, I've already tried that.

You got any haks or overrides? Those are sometimes not deleted when reinstalling.

Only things I've done besides the base install is get the patch updates, and use the overide stuff you guys have for hands and all that.

What graphics card do you use?

Whatever came in this computer. All I know is it's built into the motherboard.

In that case, computer brand and model? There might be some known answers to issues like this, if certain specs can be identified. Mainly the GPU and drivers.

Gonna have to walk me through that then. I've no clue what the commands to figure that stuff out is. I've been told them before, but I always forget. All I can tell you is it's a Compaq, bought aorund 5 or 6 years ago, runs on XP and has had no upgrades at all.

Well, that's propbably the issue. Try updating it, and if that fails your best bet is a cheap AGP graphics card (ask around, a friend may have one collecting dust).

The last one is nice, I've never seen Amia B in full winter before.

I say, uninstall the game.
Make sure ALL files are gone by checking it manually, delete any maps manually.
Re-install the game.

If it has been working before, it should work after a full re-install.

These are all 1.69 textures, btw. Try a critical rebuild?

my guess is it's the driver for your graphics card. If you can't find an update for it then, like someone said, try a cheap second hand one. If your computer is 5 or 6 years old you'd better check for compatability between mother board and any card you stick in. The mother boards back then were mostly rigged to take cards which ran AGP 8x (I think - correct me someone if I'm wrong - I built my machine 5 years ago and it's what I have)- If it is AGP 8x then you should see if you can find a radeon 9500 or Radeon 9600 (maybe even 9800). (You can only find that kind of information by checking the COMPAQ web page for specs)

Later cards won't be compatible...

RAdeon last year released their saphire 2600 pro which is also compatible with AGP and is half the price of other cards and is way more powerful than the two others I mentioned - it's given my old heap of diodes a huge new lease of life...so that's an alternative.

It's not that simple.

Compaq / HP are notorious for their custom chassis / motherboard designs. This was done to prevent PC buyers from being able to upgrade the machines themselves, and thus force them to buy a new PC.

You can run the following:

Belarc Advisor

Download and run the Belarc Advisor, and then save it as a HTML page and shoot me the contents.

I'll let you know what is up.

Just as something to through in here, since its texture problems and what-not...

On my windows computer I've had sort of the same problem, except its only -after- I start using the toolset. Texture files seem to disappear, and all characters become a blob of silver, along with a few graphic issues like the OP here.

I tried a fresh reinstall with it, and it worked for the most part... Until I started using the Toolset again, and it just repeated itself. The computer itself is an 'emachine', running Vista, bought last year.

Or something else it could be, if you should have an odd few haks lurking around and log from one server then back into Amia without exiting the game and starting over a fresh I have found that this can occur.
