Just to confirm.. you're getting this only on Xebec, right?
You haven't had this sorta thing regularly on any other worlds?

nope only xebec, and i think it has to do with the 8192x8192 texmaps.

i'll start getting the error, delete xebecs texmaps, and the error stops until some of them download again. seems to only happen when i have 4 or more texmaps downloaded. my client never shows more then 3 at a time, so maybe has to do with trying to display too many at once?

I get that too, if i F1 right when I land, and f1 back in, all is fine.

Strange, I never got that error at all.

lowering my drawdist from 900 to about 200 made the error all but go away.
still happens occasionally, but not nearly as often.

nevermind, even with a drawdist of 100 its still happening the min the 3rd texmap finishes downloading.

i was thinking maybe you have a graphical setting set too high for xebec. in the f1 general settings how high is your grapic detail thingy set? mine is set at medium and it works for me and a few other players. the only other thing i could think of is mayyyyybe im missing a } in my login script, but i dont think so since they seem to work fine.

turning down the drawdist was a good start, maybe something else needs to be turned down so your machines stop freaking is my guess.

this'll be a client issue.. i'll look into it

well, i found my video card drivers were 3 years old.
updated them and........no change.

well, i found a partial solution.

i took all the texmaps (which i had somehow managed to download before this error started, but couldn't see then either) and reduced them to 2048x2048 and made them read only to prevent the client from overwriting them.
