Some textures not loading (characters and cars white)

Hi all. Awesome to see such an active community around this game!

I've run into a weird issue when playing H&R for the first time, some characters and cars seem to load without a texture/ colours. Also when you need to speak to a character to start a mission there's a purple box around the explanation mark. Does anyone know why this might be?

This is when using the launcher and just starting the normal exe. I'm running Windows XP in a virtual machine on a mac. I've updated to Net framework 4 and Direct X 9. Sorry If i've missed any info that would help diagnose this.

Thanks in advance!

Hi ed,

Could you run this and send me the log please?

Hey Josh,

I should also add that it's random as to which characters & cars are white when I load the game up.

Cheers,

Thanks ed. What VM software are you using? Also, from the install location, I assume it's 32bit Windows XP?
