Textures missing?

[SilverNexus]

I've noticed that it seems like some textures are missing on some of the tracks. Among them include:

Zen Garden -- Everything except the karts and items is flat black. It is impossible to drive on because you cannot see the track.
Old Mine -- The tunnel-like passages seem to have texture, but the rest of track itself is flat black. Environment objects do show up, though.
Blackhill Mansion -- A few patches of grass, the mansion itself, and most environment object (except the bridge) are flat black.
XB591 -- Most of the environment objects are flat colors, making for a dull experience. Additionally, the track is barely darker than the ground around it, making it difficult to follow the track.

Is this a known problem, or is it something on my end? All of these have persisted through several updates, so I'm wondering if it is, in fact a problem on my end.

Hi,

this is not normal. I suggest checking your drivers, are they up to date? If your GPU is capable enough, this is very likely a driver-related issue. Another possibility is that your GPU has very strict texture limitations and is unable to render all textures of STK

You listed all the tracks that have lightmaps. So your driver seems to have issues with them.

*sigh* I was afraid it was my video drivers.

For future reference, should anyone else have the same problem, this is the output of inxi -G on my computer:

I have the AMD Catalyst Driver installed, and it is the most up-to-date stable release.

Isn't hardware fun?

Perhaps there should be an option to disable lightmaps on tracks? On my computer I can't even play those tracks. The game crashes every time I try to race on one of those.
