Is there any solution to this?
Actually, that is no longer the case. RRT3 and TrainMaster run without any problems, even with hardware acceleration on, with Windows 7 64-bit. I don't know if it was something AMD did to their Catalyst graphics drivers, or Microsoft with one of their compatibility updates, or a mixture of both, but now my 1 GB Radeon 5770 runs the game fast and merrily with all graphics set in highest levels. So, at least in computers with AMD/ATI graphics this problem seems to be fixed.Limskj wrote:Well at least now I know why it worked on my previous laptop (An ASUS U45JC) - it was built with optimus and so the game used the Intel GPU in it which had lesser vram. It confirmed what I heard: the game's graphics settings don't work properly on gpus with vram 1 gb or greater.At least now I got my ASUS back so it solved my problem. Thanks alot guys.
What driver version are you using? I'm still using 10.6 on my 1GB 5850 because of another game that had trouble with drivers, but maybe I should just update to see if it fixes my textures.thietavu wrote: Actually, that is no longer the case.

So if that is the problem, anyone knowns if there is a way to limit the VGA ram, perhaps via some operative system's option? (Win7 x64 in my case)Limskj wrote:[...] It confirmed what I heard: the game's graphics settings don't work properly on gpus with vram 1 gb or greater.![]()
You might give it a try (now I'm using 11.7 - all the 11 series versions have worked, maybe also some 10 series drivers - I'm not sure anymore what I used when the problem got fixed about a year ago or so. But as said, Microsoft has released some "recommended" compatibility updates for older programs, and I quite strongly suspect that one or several of those fixed this game.JoshM wrote:What driver version are you using?
