*alarm bells ringing*

Does the same thing happen in D3D?

Decals are the first thing that UT removes if the framerates do drop or the general performance goes down.
If decals do not show up online then it can be two things:
- your system is simply reducing the stuff due to the framerate stuff aso like it would do offline, or
- the amount of data you get while playing online reduces your overall performance so that the stuff above jumps in

So, maybe you had some more folks running around on the server you played on than you had before or you had done some ini tweaking before that was 'better' than your current setup.

Textures dont even show themselves properly. odd.

That could be it, GD is running a few more mutators now.

I really need a vedio card.

Minimal Desired Framerate gives UT a value how much you want it to reduce details to gain performance.
Set it to 0.

I had this problem too.

You must set your connection speed to the speed you are at (eg 28k, 56k, ISDN, LAN, Cable). Fixed the problem for me. Only happened online for me, what about you?

Yep, online only

edit: I feel so stuipid
Edit2: fixed spelling, and thanks
Edit3: Crowze you might want to add this to your common problem tread.
