i want to get into this league but the game ends up looking like play dough

The game loads fine but after a few maps is turns into this is there a vram memory leak or something my fps is fine the whole time
I have a gtx 960 2gb

I just want to play the game but when it looks like this it stops loading the particle effects so i cant see most of the effects.

I remember hearing about a setting that controls how long the game holds onto graphics assets but I cant find it/turn it down(I don't mind longer load times I just want to be able to play). I also cant turn my textures from medium to low which would probably help.

I'm poor so I cant get a better graphics card but any other help would be cool ty

With that card, I don't know much else we can do. But that thread may be of help.

I have a gtx 950 2gb vram, and had the same exact problem;



After perusing multiple threads, thanks to Robotica95, I downloaded Windows 472.33 Vulkan Beta Driver at https://developer.nvidia.com/vulkan-driver as I have a better experience with Vulkan over DX11.

Hope this helps you as well.

Does this solve "VRAM critical" issue? If so, thank you, will be trying this out right away.

Can confirm that Vulkan drivers help. I haven't tested for a long period yet, but in about an hour there were no issues with textures, usually I got them after 15 min. Thanks all!

That would be equivelent of downloading more hdd space...
The vram issue is your card is almost running out/has ran out of gpu's vram, meaning you need a gpu with higher amount.
