Thread: Texture/model problems

lately I got a bit bored with the games I own, but then a friend and me remembered the great times we had with left 4 dead and the left 4 dead 2 demo (which both worked without any problems on my computer) so we decided to buy left 4 dead 2. We started the game and had a lot of fun with the first chapter, but I noticed the red health packages looked really odd, when we got to the levels after that all the textures bugged and it became a huge mess. as you can see in this screenshot:

I was wondering if anybody recognizes the problem, as I've never had this in any game and/or on any pc. As I said the demo worked fine and that was 1-2 years ago with a different driver for my graphics card. I am using an ATI mobility HD radeon 4500 series, and the driver for that I just updated a few days ago. I am running the game on recommended settings, which are mostly high-very high. I googled a bit and found someone with a similair problem, who was told to use can you run it to check if his pc can run the game and to delete his video.txt file as well as to verify the integrity of his game cache.
I did all of this, my pc can run the game according to 'can you run it,' deleting the file did not work and the latter didn't work either. If anybody is able to help me I'd appreciate it. It isn't such a big problem though as I will buy a new pc in 5-10 weeks.

Now it's spread to tf2 as well, so it's quite a bit more serious

Im having the same problem mints. and i dont know the hell how to fix it. If anyone knows how to fix it without any game progress being lost. please tell me as fast as you can.

this all doesnt work! can anyone please help me! i cant even play a campaign anymore without seeing holes everywhere and weird flying things i see everytime too! and its spread to Burnout paradise too!

Im getting a new computer anyway, so i hope it will work well on the new one.
But my video card is not the problem because, the same as mints, im already playing the game for a year and i never had these problems until some idiot video card driver update came up and ruined my left 4 dead and other games.
