Terrain loading problems

[NYCrules32]

It seems that the terrain around can NEVER seem to stop loading, I have to stand in my exact position for 30 seconds for everything to be even halfway loaded, because for some reason the textures always reset and start loading again! Can anyone tell me how to fix this?

What's your video card? Try updating your DirectX runtimes.

You can try adjusting the "draw distance" option in GTASA's settings. Does it happen in single player?

What about GTA single?

[NYCrules32]

My graphics card is updated to the lastest version with Direct, and this doesn't happen in Single Player, EVER. I never had this problem in SA:MP so I figured it must be MTA:SA

[Towncivilian]

Did you mean you have the latest graphics card driver installed? DirectX and drivers are separate things.

Does the issue occur on all servers?

[NYCrules32]

Both are updated, and no, it only happens on the Valhalla Gaming Role Play server. So I'm guessing this must be a server-side problem?

[dzek (varez)]

A lot of custom objects can cause this. Idk if they are using them.

[NYCrules32]

So there isn't any solution as to get rid of this problem?

[dzek (varez)]

Is this happening all over SA, or in just one place?

Is problem happening since some time, or always?

Try to increase/decrease (or just: manipulate) draw distance.

Also you could try to remove gta_sa.set from My Documents\GTA San Andreas User Files or even reinstalling GTA to another folder, and install MTA 1.0.4 if you don't have it yet.

Hope you will fix your problems.

It happens all over SA

It's been happening for some time

I'll try those methods you suggested

[NYCrules32]

Well I tried those methods and they STILL don't work

[dzek (varez)]

Try downgrading your graphic card drivers. Once i've got some problems with new drivers (it was with Vice City, but it's almost same engine).

[silent785]

Same problem, updated GFX drivers and directX and still this problem.

My specs:

AMD X4 Phenom 9550

4GB DDR2 RAM

Radeon HD4850

In the Settings menu, select the Advanced tab. Then choose Asynchronous Loading: Off
