I´ll post these steps once more, follow them machoo and see if you still have the texture bug (wont solve the blue stripes sadly enough though

1) Open steam, go to library, right click Cliffs of Dover, Select Properties and go to Local Files tab, click on Verify Integrity of Game Cache and let it run and download.

2) Go to \Documents\1C SoftClub\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover\cache\ and delete everything in the main folder, keep the shaders folder but delete everything inside.

3) Delete your conf.ini in \Documents\1C SoftClub\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover\ It will make a new one next time you start up the game, you have to set your video settings again first time you start the game.

4) Download the latest patch and extract it to your desktop, then cut and paste all folders to \Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover\ selecting yes on any request to overwrite and copy and replace otherwise.

5) For ATI users go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover\parts\core\GUI\ and rename the intro.wmv to something different or just delete it, just be careful as it might affect VAC cheat protection in the future when playing online, so far there seems to be no problem to do this though.

Makes absolutely no difference at all this is a 6950/6970 issue...fact!

drivers/driver cleaner,ati hotfix,patches so far have made no difference..

my Dad (lmao im 39yrs old) plays this game and has the same card but completely different spec system and he has these lines too so id put money on it being an issue just with these cards

I have them too... Still.

I have a XFX 6950 2GB, has anyone come across a fix for this yet? I installed the 12-1 drivers no help.

I'm XFX 6870 1Gb BE user with catalyst 11.8, NO STRIPES here.

That's because it's only affecting 69xx cards not 68xx cards.

I thought it had been fixed a patch or two back.Apparently the new ATI 7900 series does not have the problem.

Ok, you called, I answer. This issue will be resolved with the new graphics engine (hopefully). This engine has been of much debate of progress but if you follow the updates, you'll see that the team is working on fixing out all the bugs.

As they have been working hard for months on what has been described as a "major rewrite of the graphics code" we can hope that it gets fixed when that patch is released in two weeks? Like many others I left for Nvidia when the 8800GTX arrived and I have never looked back... Being a hardware nerd that can change any day if AMD jumps up for a slam dunk like Nvidia did in the 8800-series

S!

I use the 7970HD and NO stripes. Catalyst 12.1 RC or something for me. Other series could try 12.2 previews or 12.1 WHQL..And seems the 7950HD kicked 580GTX in the nuts too at launch, reviews popping up.

I got the stripes on my old 4850 setup as well as my new 6950. However, I distinctly remember reading that someone with an nvidia card (I think it was a 560ti) was also getting the lines, so it may not be an AMD only issue.

And like Mazex said, they mentioned that with the "major rewrite of the graphics code" many of our issues would be cured; flickering shadows, horizontal stripes, memory leaks, crashing etc.

But I must say, it's very distracting
