It occurs for me randomly, after I've been playing awhile, mostly in low density outdoor areas, and mostly on road textures. Restarting the game fixes it for several hours at least. It's probably a mip-mapping issue, but it's not pop-up. I can actually walk to right on the edge of where the texture starts to change from rainbow to the correct texture, and if I slowly move my character so the texture passes through whatever invisible line it is that decides whether to show the texture or not, the part that's over that invisible line appears normal, while the rest of the texture is still rainbow. The whole texture doesn't just suddenly show up when I pass a certain threshold. Also, if I move back and forth, it'll go back and forth from rainbow to normal, even once it's loaded properly. I don't have this issue with distant textures very often either. It's usually stuff that's about 25-50 feet from my character, and then it goes away when I get within 10 feet, then it comes back if I walk away. So it's not that the texture isn't being loaded properly, it's that whatever the game is loading for that texture isn't right. Thus, I'd say this is actually a memory issue, and textures are getting corrupted in memory while passing through certain effects filters like AO or GR, or while being swapped for LoD purposes. Possibly related to overall memory usage, since it seems to take awhile for it to start happening once the game is loaded, and restarting the game fixes it.

Does anyone know if there's a mod that can be used to change where reinforcements appear? I know you can use tweakMB to change the amounts and timing, but I don't really have any issue with that. I just don't like how they magically popup in the middle of the fight, often right in between the troops that are already fighting. I've even had times where enemy troops appear right in the middle of my formation, or my troops appear surrounded by enemies, and it's just a nightmare both tactically and for immersion. I'd love it if there were some way to always make reinforcements spawn at the edge of the map, and have to run to the place where the fighting is. You know, like reinforcements. :laugh:

Is the site still having files removed or something? I have been browsing mods for the last hour or so, and now all the pages, just say "E" at the bottom, with no content aside from the name of the mod and it's screenshots.
