That card’s rather dated. Most games now require 128MB cards for the AAA games.
Uhh… sorry to say this but, your computer is probably really outdated. You’ll probably want to buy a new computer.
I recommend for a gaming computer:
512MB to 1GB DDR RAM
100GB to 160GB Hard drive
DEFINITELY get at least a 128 MB Graphics card
Go to the game makers website. You may need a patch or game update. Their is usually a web address included with your software.
textures are typically loaded onto the graphics card … which likely won’t fit on yours. See link w/ minimum system requirements
I’m not familiar with that specific game, but most games have minimum requirements for the PC they are to be played on. You can usually get away with being close to those specs if you don’t meet them outright, by lowering the levels of eye candy (resolution, anti-aliasing, available features and detail levels, etc.) but the game may simply require more than your video card can provide. In unusual cases a really fast computer can provide some of the capabilities of the graphics card in the CPU, but you’d probably have a fast graphics card to match a fast CPU anyway.
The 16MB of the video card speaks to how large a texture map it can hold — the texture map is an image that gets draped over a surface in the game by the video card to make it appear more detailed and complex then it really is. Since your error message says “MISSING TEXTURE” I’d have to believe it didn’t have enough room in the available RAM on the video card to hold the surfaces it needed to apply in the game. Good luck.
