problems with buildings and roofs

[fillmore]

I have been playing the early missions alot with different starting characters and such and have come upon a problem. Generally it rears its ugly head on the third mission and prevents me from completing it.

The problem is that when I enter a building the roof does not dissapear so I cannot see inside the building. With the final building on the third mission this pervents me from getting to the lower level from the second floor as the stairs do not appear (the roof is still there even though all my characters are inside it).

Even when I go back and redo the mission (I play tough guy so last save is in the bunker) the problem is still there.

Last time this happened I made a whole new character and when he got to that mission the problem was still there.

Many previous characters had gone past this mission without this problem, so it seems to be something that gets corrupted over several play throughs. Last time I uninstalled and reinstalled and it solved the problem for a few play throughs that mission but now it is here again.

I have the 1.27 patch and the bonus mission.

Any way to fix without a reinstall?

It could be a problem with the mission map. In this case you may have to fix it with the level editor. You would first need to extract it from a bos file using winzip. Then open it with the level editor and run occlusion data. Sorry I can't be too detailed right now, I don't have the game installed on this machine....

After you do this you would have to revert to a save before you got to the map.

could be your video drivers.

yeah that happened to me in the last raider mission and a few other missions, i just restarted my computer and it didnt happen again, if it did i saved and restarted again haha.. but you have a problem with the tough guy thing, id start over with it off cause you will most likely encounter this in later missions again like i did.
