Missing cities and textures

**Scotland** · March 06, 2010, 09:23 AM

I just experienced a very strange bug, the cities and towns have disappeared and so have things like the flagpoles.

Spoiler Alert, click show to read:

The bug persisted but I reinstalled the game and it was still there. The only thing I've done lately is install new drivers but I don't know what's causing it. Any suggestions?

Thanks.

If Nvidia card, 182 or 191, and good luck.

If ATI, 9.6 or earlier and good luck.

It's been known. Search the forum.

Hi I also got that problem, but unfortunately i can't find anything here. Could anybody point to correct thread which will explain me what is the reason and how to fix it, please?
PS Yes I used search tool on this forum, but nothing came back to me

The reason I is the drivers newer than what was available when the game was tested and released have not been backward compatible with the game.

Read my post two up for the best drivers availble right now.

Thanks. I actually roll back to NVidia 196.01 drivers and everything seems to be back to normal. I'm worry only because apparently the new 196.75 driver is really giving you a big boost to play Bad Company 2. I'm hope that I won't be forced to swap them every time when I play different game
