grey boxes

[CDKiernan]

I know this has been covered in several different contexts, but please help with the following: I'm running rfactor 1, single-player, both a well-used install with tons of mods and tracks added, and a new install, and all of a sudden I'm getting grey boxes on some cars in several GT mods...no paint jobs on 2 different F1 2015 mods...etc.

Something has obviously happened to my computer/settings...can anyone tell me what the hell is going on and how do I fix it?

Thanks very much!

A picture would go a long ways. Who made the mod? Is it a conversion?

Usually those grey blocky cars are the default temp cars. They load in when you are out on the track and someone joins the server and goes out on track. There is a switch you can flip in an ini to load a car as someone joins, but may also cause fps stuttering. Because you mentioned single player, I'm going to guess the mod is using the temp car as LOD, or the aforementioned behavior is still triggering somehow in single player, possibly a gmt naming conflict is pulling the temp car.
