Hi . how are you my friends .
this is my first visit to this great forum
and i hope to be an active member
and i hope if someone can help me out here
i'll be very thankful
let's start . my rig is

processor : core i7 2600 3,40
motherboard : asus p8h67 ddr3 plus
ram : 12 gb ddr3 kingston
graphic : afox nvidia geforce gt 630 4gb. 128bit
harddrive : samsung 1 terabite + hp 500 gb
that's about it .


i used to play on my xbox
but nowadays i am playing on my pc
usually the setting are " mid to high"
crysis 2 , tomb raider , i'm alive , call of duty
i get between 25 to 30 fps and i am happy with that
just until today

i bought " Wolfenstein - The New Order "
its a very nice first-person-shooter game
after installing i started the game
went to option . put everything on low
disabled the options that might have impact on the performance
and i started playing
just to find out

there is no textures " or material " in the game
everything is so unclear , walls are black
the only thing is clear is the hand and the gun
the rest is just black
just like if you have " 50 x 50 " picture
and you assign it as your desktop wallpaper " 1440x900 "
can you imagine the result you will get ?
the game is exactly just like that " except for the hand and the gun "
for example the ground is brown color without any details at all
i tried to increase to mid setting and the problem is still as it is
every time i die in the game , when i get back the graphic drive crash !
i was getting strange lines on the screen at other times before the crash
and other times
i was getting "yellow,red,and blue " color just before it crash

i thought this game need a gtx at least
just to see some videos on youtube
with peoples who are playing the very same game
on much more worse graphic cards than mine
what a surprise !

so why i was getting the crush everytime i lose and start from the last checkpoint
and why there was no textures in the game ?

before annoying someone i done a search
i update my graphic card to
340.52-desktop-win8-win7-winvista-64bit-english-whql
that was the name of the file
still no luck , i adjusted my graphic card setting from nvidia control panel
still the same problem

one last thing
i was getting about 30 to 40 fps while playing on mid setting
so there is no problems in the frame rate at all
my problem is
1- no textures in the game
2 - crashes everytime i get back to checkpoint
3 - suddenly i get strange lines and sometimes yellow,red,and blue colors
so how is peoples recording themselves playing the same game on a card that is much worse than mine

here is some pictures of my card details



and there is this little " ! " on top of nvidia icon
i don't know if that's normal



and here is everything i installed from nvidia



the error




sorry i talked a lot , but it's really unfair not just for me
but for all of you who loved a game and couldn't play it for no reason
please if anyone can help
thanks , and have a great day
beginners & professionals , you all are welcome

First off, welcome to TSF and happy posting!

Could you uninstall Geforce experience. It's the program that's bundled with nvidia drivers for auto setting graphic settings. It might be setting something your GPU can't handle.

Is this happening in any other game?

Do you get any errors in event viewer?

Open start menu
type "Event viewer"
custom views (left side pane)
administrative events
See if there's any errors relating to your GPU or game.

thanks McNinja , you are so kind
and once again i do apologize that i talked a lot

Could you uninstall Geforce experience.

setting graphic settings.

now i remove Geforce experience
by choosing uninstall from my pc control panel

Is this happening in any other game?
when the game is too big and i'm on high setting
i usually get a lag or a slow frame rate that's it
but as i said before i am getting around 30 to 40 fps on the game
its just like there is something missing here
no shaders of textures are being rendered in the game


Do you get any errors in event viewer?
Open start menu
type "Event viewer"
custom views (left side pane)
administrative events
See if there's any errors relating to your GPU or game.
there was a lot of warnings and error
so i took a screenshot just after the game crashed




iam really very thankful to you
and i do appreciate all your efforts
and i hope we can find a solution

by the way
when i tried the game now
i clicked on resume and it was loading
after that i got audio but with no video
i can even hear me shooting bullets in the game
just until the drive crash as usual
 
#7 ·

truly i have no one else to help me with this problem but you , iam thankful

by the way you can check youtube
just write " Wolfenstein The New Order gt630 4gb "
there are a lot of peoples who's plaing the same game without problems
its normal to get a lag on low-end cards while playing
but its another story to get a game with all black walls and no textures

thanks a lot for the explanation my friend
iam downloading the latest drive for my card right now
the file name :
352.86-desktop-win8-win7-winvista-64bit-international-whql.exe

i will remove the old drive . next i will do a clean install
and i will be back with the results
do i need to re-install the game ? after updating the video card drive .
or that has nothing to do with it ?
because it takes over an hour to install

Turn down the settings to lowest except for the resolution.


If other games don't crash and work fine then it's probably a problem with your GPU. Maybe it just doesn't have the bandwidth to peoperly render the textures in the game. The texture technology that IDtech uses is called Virtual Texturing to save on VRAM (video RAM).

first of all i would like to thank you so much for all your efforts and for all what you have done , i really do appreciate that so much , and by helping peoples such as me that reflects how a good man you are , thanks for giving me a good part of your time only this game seems to have a problem it might be my graphic card it might be the dvd i am trying to install from i am planning to do an upgrade for my graphic card how about r7 265 . and is it really that ddr3 cards don't use more than 1 gb of its ram ? even if the product says " 4gb " and it's for commercials only ! and a 2gb ddr5 card on my ddr3 motherboard would be much better ?

The RAM on the Video card is a bit different than regular RAM. VRAM is meant for parallel processing and the regular ram is good at doing one thing at a time.They are seperate and in no conflict with each other with the different names.

VRM goes currently by GDDR2, GDDR3, GDDR4 and GDDR5. There are even numbers were there for a short time. The different memory on video card and on the motherboard don't require being the same at all.

All you have to worry about is getting a better PSU (power supply unit) when you get a better video card.



In the graphic setting options I turned:
'VirtualTexture Cuda Acceleration' > OFF &
VirtualTexture MaxPPF > 64

i really admires your experience and your professionality ,
there is nothing you don't know ,
you made everything make sense and clear enough ,
what got me a bit confused is how iam gonna give up a 4gb card to have only a 2gb video card , iam not super professional when it comes to graphic cards
because there is a lot with different names and numbers thats hard enoph to even remember

probably one of the hard parts is
the same chip developed by nvidia goes under different companies names
on site like Game-Debate PC game system requirements news, system specs social network
i couldn't find my card on there list . to check if the game could work on my pc
but i have found " zotac gt 630 + msi gt 630 and others under the name gt 630 "
i thought mine would be just like the rest of them
because the chip is nvidia and all of the others are 4gb
but the surprise was that every card got its own specifications
my card doesn't exist on there list
even on gpuboos when i try to do a compareation i fail
because the gt 630 on there site is only 1 gb with 800mhz and 90 cuda
but mine is 4 gb , 192 cuda and 902 mhz , 1334 mhz
mine is AFox gt 630 4gb , 128 bit
iam a bit confused about that
so what do you advise me to choose from the list if i couldn't find my card .
should i choose zotac gt 630 or msi gt 630 or nothing untill they add my card to the list ?
attachment : gpu z picture of my card

and please forgive my ignorance in graphic cards , i am doing my best to learn from professional peoples like you , thanks and have a great day sir .

i have done a search about the texture issue
they all are saying
"""
Just like Rage, NWO fails to write its own texture cache directory.
The config variable is fs_cachepath. You can call up the console with CTRL ALT ` to check where NWO wants this folder to be created.
It should be under your AppData\Local\MachineGames\Wolfenstein The New Order\

"""

could that solve my problem ?
because i don't have any cashe folders
and i don't know where to clik ctrl+alt to call the cashe folder
i don'ty even know if thats got anything to do with my problem
just trying to figure it out
 
#17 ·
What, wait why would they put 4 gigabytes on such a lowly card? I don't even understand. I have AMD 7950 with twin fans by sapphire. It has 3 gigabytes of VRAM and most games only use less than a gig with some games like GTA 5 using around 2.5 gigs or so. Anyways sorry for the rant, that extra vram smells of scammy marketing to me.

You were referencing this link?

Texture Cache Directory: Needs to be created :: Wolfenstein: The New Order General Discussions

You need to press control + alt + tilde key (~) . It's above the tab key.

The second function of the tilde key is is this ~, first function is this; `

Basically what you do in the game is this if I'm reading it right.

Open console with ctrl + alt + `
type "fs_cachepath"
It will tell you where it wants you to save it.

You'll need to see hidden folders to make the folder.

Show hidden files - Windows Help

Make a new folder in local if it's not created then another in that folder. Bolded area is where you should be concerned with.
AppData\Local\MachineGames\Wolfenstein The New Order\

I was also wondering about the memory type. DDR3 is like GDDR5 in the speed but not the way it handles memory. DDR3 does multiple different tasks well and GDDR5 does 1 task but a lot faster.

hhh yes i was referring to that " how did you knew " lol
you are right . i still don't get why adding 4gb on low-end gddr3 card
i tried the command line and created the cache folder
and i even added a few other commands to lower it down
as usual the same problem
so i am done with this game unless i upgrade my graphic card
----
last question before closing the topic
how dose 4gb of vram on gddr3 graphic card perform.
you know my card is 4gb gddr3
one of my friends told me , don't get too excited
even though your card is 4gb but its gddr3
and it's limited to use 1gb of its own vram
it wouldn't touch the rest of the 3 gigas
only gddr5 got the ability to use more than 1 gb of its vram
i said but on the box they said it 4095mb " 4gb "
so dose my card really use all its vram when needed
or is it just a title " temptation to draw the eyes of customers "
dose my 4gb helps while doing 3d graphic design in 3ds max for example
i am a motion graphics and cg artist by the way
