Had an interesting match of forest colony conquest. Every Mech was missing its textures other than cockpit glass. I grabbed the match and uploaded it(despite my lack of tactics ;)). You can hear my lance-mate(he was aware of the recording before it took place), my broadcasts are not recorded :o .

Happens to me all the time in my Centurion, not in any other mech...

Im on a Radeon HD6770 I also have the frozen city texture issues (only recently and now more often than not) I believe I run on very high. Also shortly after the close of the founders program my GPU goes volcanic and pins itself at 100% after I sign in. My CPU however idles correctly. When I am in game the GPU and CPU both take on loads and idle correctly and my system cools off as I play.. When I return from battle I make my adjustments, ready up and click the focus to my desktop.. keeping my system from over heating as I wait on my lance to pile in the drop bays.

I also have both these bugs. They are not present all the time but happened a few times already. I have Radeon HD 6870 with catalyst drivers 12.10(they are the newest drivers for radeons)

Tried to make screenshots but they all are black. Anyone knows how to do normal screenshots?

Same problem here, but only on frozen city. Textures of terrain and buildings are switching between grey and normal, when i move or turn arround.
HD4970 Catalyst 12.6 Win 7 x64

[Edit]
Settings all to low in MWO 1680x1050
shader cache cleared every time i see the problem, but not fixing it

wow, new to me

Nuke your shader cache form orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

Yes textures switching to grey and back is only on frozen city, dont know if both versions, I had it on frozen city night. And grey mechs definetly on forest colony standard and snow IIRC.

I'll try deleting shader cache folder.

I've experienced grey mechs on forest colony and frozen city. Also missing textures in the buildings and terrain in frozen city. Happened even after I deleted my shader cache.

I have this too occasionally and when i painted my CN9-A in Phranken Colours/Std Patttern i had it all the time.
I wrote a ticket and they told me its known and they work on it.
I lost some MC as i reverted back to std green colours so the bug appears no more frequently.
It came with the first ECM-Patch - b4 that one it worked flawless.

I occasionally have this problem. Running on a ATI 6650m. I also run the Cent-A, but I have not noticed if it only happens when running this mech. I will test it out.

Ive not had a chance to run again, but Ill have a few test runs later today. Ive seen textures come and go as they please on frozen but only on terrain and buildings, had not seen it as such a uniform effect before.

Ill start off in the same Mech/paint until I hit forest colony again (unless its obviously occurring everywhere), then a paint change back to default, followed by a different chassis... After this we will calculate the orbital bombardment trajectories necessary to commence Operation Redshift.

Thanks for your posts everyone.

I have been using MSI afterburner {works fine with Radeon cards} for video capture but it also can handle screen shots (after you set a hotkey/directory/preferred file type). I picked it up initially for being free and having user controlled fan speed/heat profiles but its other features have grown on me (Like recording matches without weighing down my pc).

Happens to more often, pretty much any match on both frozen cities maps have textures switching from grey to normal all the time and grey mechs still only on forest colony. I'll download that MSI afterburner and try to do some screens.

Btw deleting shader cache doesn't work.

Well it seems the textures come and go arbitrarily. Ive seen a mixed bag of textured/not scenery as well as a repeat of the Phantom Mecha. My selected Mech and paint scheme did not appear to influence the situation.

Frozen City is the only Map with missing textures, Grey Mechs can happen on every Map.
If i paint my Mech it happens frequently, if i stay with standard colours it happens occasionally.
So there is a problem with the Frozen City Map and a problem that probably is somehow linked to Mechs.
As we have 15 other Mechs with us we cant say anything about but they appear grey its hard to pull a waterproofed conclusion.

But i wont spend a dime on Mech-paintings as long there is not a big capital patchnote that cries out to the world:
WE HAVE FIXED IT! :D

I have a Radeon HD6770M

- I have experienced mechs missing textures - several times on River City (tan mechs), once or twice on Frozen City (grey mechs).
- I experienced the grey ice cliffs on Frozen City Night. I can't remember what my graphics setting was (I think Med or Low). Turning my graphics back up one level fixed it. ...Or maybe it happened on High and I turned it down to Med to fix it. I can't remember now...

Twice, on river city, I have loaded with all mechs in a single shade of grey. both times I was using a Ciceda, but 2 diferant vareants, 3 weeks apart. in both cases it was a single match, with the matches before and after being normal.
