In the last 3 days or so I've been having trouble with the character textures becoming blurry and low-res. I've always been able to use the high res textures before, but now they gradually get worse (for instance, when I first begin they'll be high-res, and then get to medium, then later at low, and eventually they'll be so blurry I have to turn off the game in disgust!). I have Intel 82845 graphics, if that helps (I know it sucks, btw. I'm kinda low on cash at the moment.)
EDIT - I just noticed I didn't spell "properly" right... >_>
EDIT #2 - I just noticed that the textures (temporarily) go back to the hi-res ones when I take a screenshot (with printscreen). It doesn't last long, though.

Yeah...dunno if you've got the dough (like you said) but I think a few of the people with that crap IGP have been buying PCI graphics cards (I don't think any of those mobos come with AGP slots).

Ok, I decided to stop editing my last post. =P
Anyways, I finally isolated the problem. I messed with the graphics settings in GW for a bit, and I figured out the character textures start looking bad whenever I put the environment textures above the lowest setting (which looks like crap, IMO). So... any ideas? As I said in my last post, these settings worked fine until a few days ago (makes me wonder if the updates had anything to do with it... theres an updated they listed near the bottom called "compatibilaty or somethin).
So until then, I get to play with crappy environment textures. Yay!
EDIT - Dude, thanks for posting =P. It makes you feel pretty stupid to be the only one posting in your own topic. BTW, how much do you think I could get a cheap card for? I've got about $60 to spend, and I'll have some more soon.

A 9200SE can be had for under 50 bucks.
As for the texture problems, you could try changing your driver to the older version listed in other threads.

Thanks for the help, I'll probably get one of those cards, then. The "case" is still open though, the old driver didn't help any =/. Oh yeah, I figured out the textures will get blurry unless it's set at the bare minimum graphics-wise (the in-game options, I mean). The weird thing is that the "ugliness" of the textures gets worse than the low-res when the problem happens. >_<
