"Failed to Load Hardware Data for Models" and "Bad Vertex Checksum"

DougV · 04-26-2011, 04:24 PM

We tracked down the cause of these two errors and we are currently working on a fix.

The problem occurs when you change the graphics “shader level” or “model level” while the game is running, and then continue playing, which causes certain models to load incorrectly.

The workaround until we release a fix is to completely quit out of the game after changing the shader level or model level graphics settings.
