Graphics are screwed?

For as long as i can remember i couldnt be bothered to play Garden,prison or port. Why? It's because they graphix in those maps are messed up for me. I can't see bullets, nor can i see teh burst fire of gunz, i can't see rockets, nor can i see massives. Can anyone tell me what's wrong?
(everything else in every other map is better than perfect, its just those maps in particular.)

You have an older video card, and as a result, it can't render too many things at once. So, what it does, is it prioritizes. This means it sets a value to the walls, floors, ceilings, and other meshes (lamps, boxes, ect). The reason the weapon effects are not getting rendered is because your card doesn't deem them necessary for the game to run properly. It's running out of memory and knows it can't render anything else so it just "cuts out" the un-needed renders freeing up memory.

Solution: If you're good with hardware, buy a new card. If you're not good, visit your local computer store and get advice from them on what to do.
NOTE: You will probably need your motherboard serial number to help out the techies at the computer store - unless you bought a (this is an example) Compaq Presario in 2005.

Hope that helps

yeah, they are really good.

Please note, if you buy a card from them, you will HAVE to know how to put it in yourself.
A few sites I use are as follows:

If you would like me to tell you how to install your card, or even if you need help deciding on buying one, I'd be more than happy to help.
