{{Turbine Games Q&A Question
| Asked = 2000.11.07
| Player = Icebandit the Blue
| Title = 3Dfx Card Problem
| Category = Graphics
| Question = When I set the graphics settings on my Voodoo III to the maximum, it gives me a low texture memory message and the textures start disappearing (mainly in towns). Is this card REALLY this bad? Or is it a fixable problem? I heard something on a site that talked about setting a flag in ac but that didnt seem to work, will I have to reset this flag every time I get on? Flag: @render texpage off @render texpage on

| Dev = Jason Booth
| Answer = the @render texpage on/off toggles a switch specifically put in for 3dfx cards right at the end of beta. Basically, thier drivers have a huge un-documented "feature" of only allowing 1280 textures, and then randomly scribling over memory with the next 1281st one. I believe in certain cards/drivers this is fixed, and turning it off can improve visual quality. However, the "low texture memory" warning is simply because your running out of texture memory. To use AC with all textures on full, you need a 32 meg card. I would suggest lowering your index texture res to 1/2, as this will put you well within limits.
