Saints Row 3 - Weird Texture Issue + No DX10

danza · 7 Dec 2011 at 23:34

I've just started playing SR3, and for some reason my character's face and hands appear black unless zoomed right in, as per the screenshot below:

I've tried a couple of different video card drivers (280.26 and 285.62), but it made no difference. Any thoughts on what's going on here? I've tried changing detail levels and filtering etc, but it makes no difference.

Also, when I select DX10/11 mode (from desktop), a dialogue box appears saying that the game has stopped working. DX9 mode is fine. Has anyone else had this trouble and found a way around it?

its a new gimp suit.

you tried repairing the game via steam?

It does look rather like a gimp suit!

I'm a Steam noob, so didn't realise you can fix games. I'm giving it a try now, so hopefully it works!

Nope, that made no difference to either issue.

I'll try some other drivers.

Havn't had any problems as of yet. Hilarious game though

Managed to sort black face syndrome - just needed to allow negative LOD bias in Nvidia control panel.

No luck with DX10 mode though.
