Hi, (I apologise in advance for this long post for help)

I've been facing this problem after updating to 1.62. You see, whenever I go into new scenes, and if the loading page is taking longer than usual, I can be pretty sure that the next area I'm on won't be loaded completely. By this, I mean that certain areas like parts of a corridor, insides of a small room, or areas near any doors.

Weird things I encounter are unloaded areas are like black patches, running longer than usual to get through black patches, floating doors/NPCs/loots, fighting in darkness... I can see things like doors/loots/NPCs when I 'tab' the keyboard.

It's still frustrating to me when I play SP in the campaigns, but it really gets me when it took forever to load the next scene when I play MP in a PW till I gave up and rebooted my comp. (Hope my party members are not mad at me for disappearing!)

I now have all 3 expansions now. My comp specs as follows:

Operating System: Windows XP
Processor: Pentium 4 1.9 GHz
Memory: 512MB RAM
Hard Disk Space: 25.9 GB free
CD-ROM Drive: SONY CD-ROM CDU5221
Driver Version: 5.1.2535.0
Video: NVIDIA GeForce4 MX 440 with AGP8X
Driver Version: 5.6.7.2
Sound: AVANCE AC97 Audio
Driver Version: 5.10.0.3840

My graphics card is already updated from NVIDIA'a site, but the problem persists. Now I'm at my wit's end. Please shoot advise from all directions.

Thank you for reading!

My advice would be to contact Biowares support to hear if they have any knowlegde of this problem. Or advice as to how you can correct it.

I've not seen or hear it mentioned before, so I can't really help you with it


Have you tried a re-install of the game, from scratch and then patch to 1.62, and then see if the problem persists, before you install other modules/MP HAKs etc.?
I wonder if it couldn't be some installed thing (possible for MP) that interferes somehow with your game?

Thanks Xandex, I just hope that it's not my graphics card's problem. I wonder if I'm an exceptional case. Anyone else has similar problems and how did you solve it? Hope to get more insights.

Thanks!
