Anyone having any luck figuring this one out today?

Maximum bump.

Cant even play on Lighthouse anymore without it happening. Happens SOMETIMES on other maps too. Such a shame

My money is on a shader / texture with the incorrect surface details or something.
Def something to do with one of the shaders.

They should release Sandbox 3 so we can fix it.

I get this too, the map looks horrible because of it.

up. Pls Adam/Tom just post that you know about that problem and that you are currently trying to fix it.

Erroneously compiled shader.

Open the "Engine" directory in the Crysis 2 directory, find "ShaderCache.pak" and "ShaderCacheStartup.pak".
Move them elsewhere: delete them, change their name, move to a different directory, etc.

From now on every time you start up the game, the game will have to compile the shaders into your ram. This means your game will start out a black screen and will eventually fill with meshes and textures. Shouldn't take more than a minute. But until they patch it, this seems to be the only fix.

think of it as fresh soil that was just put in the ground, fresh soil imported from a console port.

Someone from Crytek just post so we know its being addressed.

Can anyone confirm that yoops tip works??

» Fri Dec 31, 2010 4:17 am

I will try it today to see. Haven't had the time yet.

I tried and it did not work

It took a long time for everything to render and textures to pop in, but they were still black

» Fri Dec 31, 2010 12:07 pm

Bummer.

I'm sure as long as it looks fine on consoles that is all that Crytek cares about.

8 pages and no answer from Adam/Tom

Nevermind, this only seems to work for a while. Grass texture becomes black eventually, even with the shader cache displaced.

Same issue here, map looks terrible because of that. Is there anyone who DOESN'T have this bug?

This really svcks. Lighthouse is such a beautiful map, yet this just completely ruins it. Come on Crytek at least reply so we know your aware of it...

» Fri Dec 31, 2010 2:02 pm

I hope...this will be included in comming patch...

bump

Like I said before, it probably affects everyone. They just haven't noticed it yet or it doesn't bother them enough to come on here and complain about it and/or look for a solution.

I saw a video or two on youtube and the corrupted textures were in those, too.
