Random things not rendering in-game

[Wumpusrat]

<p>I'm having a really odd, and frustrating issue with the game.</p><p>Certain objects are just not rendering. MOST things are, but several (including some quest objects I need to click on) just don't show up. In the Butcherblock Mountains, for instance, where all the npcs are standing around above the port on the cliff, none of the tents show up for me (I saw them in the trial, but when I installed the full game off the cd's I got, they stopped rendering). Similarly, some quest items I have to click on aren't showing up, making it impossible to finish the quest, since I can't see them to click on them.</p><p>Why would only certain things not be showing up? Is there some bizarre glitch with my game/account/whatever that's just causing them not to render? I don't get it! It's frustrating as hell though. <img src="/smilies/9d71f0541cff0a302a0309c5079e8dee.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p>

<p>Is it always the same items or is it less consistent than that?  If it's always the same items, are you using the streaming launcher?  It shouldn't be possible, but it almost sounds like the game isn't downloading the resources for those items.  You might want to try using the station launcher to start the game instead since it downloads everything up front.  You can download that here:</p><p><a href="http://launcher.station.sony.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://launcher.station.sony.com/</a></p>
