Ah, I'm better off to just wait to get a new computer.
So in the mean time I'll just take a shot every time I see an ugly block... hahaha only joking, if I had money for alcohol, I'd surely have a better pc by now...
Well I've tried with the "Enhanced Effects" option on and off and it makes no difference (there are more colored blocks with it enabled, that's all). There is no way for me to not have these ugly blocks unless I go back to 1.9?
There is one other thing I noticed that might be the problem:
I notice that the installer itself saves some settings sometimes, mainly I noticed that the windows runtime boxes remained unchecked from the last time I re-installed. I think it's unlikely, but maybe it saved the settings from when I installed it on my laptop, because I just transferred the installer that I used to install CF on my laptop to my desktop... it wouldn't make much sense though because it uses flmm to actually put all the files in the game, if I am correct about how that works...
One more little anomaly that may or may not have any connection to this is that the cursor does not appear the first time I run the modded game, I have to esc out, change the cursor set from the launcher, and then run the game again, then it works fine.
So, just to be thorough, I'll re-download a fresh installer, and then if that still doesn't accomplish anything, I'll see what I can do with my dying GeForce 6600 I have sitting in my closet...
btw if anyone happens to have an extra psu lying around, I could reeeeaaaaallly use one to support this Nvidia 8400GS I have also in my closet because my psu is too small!
Also I have a ATI Rage 128 Pro that is so old my computer doesn't even have the right type of slot for it... what should I do with it lol
not enough vram to load the textures correctly
So you're telling me that I can run Need For Speed Carbon on medium-high settings, but CF 2.0 takes still more VRAM than that? Exactly how much VRAM does it take?
Ahh, a nice example of my struggle, right on the main menu screen, at least that's convenient...

Just for an example I'll also include another older screenshot of mine from another game to demonstrate what my gpu is capable of rendering. Plus, it's a nice car, yes?

That you dont have the squares on 1.9 means not much. With cf 2.0 we replaced a lot of texture files, maybe too big to be handled by your CPU/GPU meanwhile. Have you used the low graphics option? Do you use any shader?
Maybe its a system setting where you can raise the graphic power of the game. Nvidia offers something like this - game related graphic settings that overrule the game settings.
Apart from this the mod dont has an easy option to switch from high to low graphic mode. You only can do this when activating the mod.
So... because more stuff was added, now it will look WORSE for me? Also are you implying that it will just arbitrarily change to old gpu support without even having a message pop up to tell me about it? Maybe someone should change that... Anyways, yes i've played around with all of the graphics settings, and including the last few days I've reinstalled the mod more times than you can count on your fingers...
The gpu I'm using is the intel G45/G43 express chipset. It's not built for gaming, but I know for a fact it can do better than those annoying blocks. I can run Need For Speed Prostreet with it, I think it has more than 128MB of VRAM...
What I'm thinking about trying is using my other graphics card, its a Nvidia GeForce 6600, but the problem with it is it's on it's last legs, it tends to crash a lot, give bluescreens, and a lot of other symtoms of a failing gpu, but maybe I can get a good test out of it. If I reinstall again (-_-) and use that gpu, I think that will prove that it's not because my gpu can't handle it.
Maybe you have read-only on the CF folder that prevents the change? This is known to botch shaders change AFAIK, maybe the old GPU support works the same way?
As the directions say, I make sure wright protection is off on everything.
@Michael No, it's not missing textures, the squares have colors.
Hellooo, it's me again...
So this time, I have managed to get the mod working.
On my laptop its... nearly unplayable sadly.
So, I borrowed a 32GB flash-drive from my friend and transferred the installation files to my desktop which is significantly more powerful(but it can't get internet), did the long and annoying installation process, and got it to run. It runs quite smoothly actually, at least with just the Vanilla texture filter.
Now here's the problem that just really rustles my jimmies: When I installed it, I explicitly left the Old GPU support disabled. And then I get into the first cutscene and I get these ANNOYING, DEMONIC BLOCKS of color whenever an effect happens, which means it's in Old GPU support mode. This is annoying because I know for a fact that my desktop can handle it, I used to play CF 1.9 on it, and I never got those dang squares.
Now I couple of things I've tried to fix it with are:
adding my GPU to the flconfigdatabase.txt
changing the texture filters around
Reinstalling the mod, and made absolutely certain that old gpu support is disabled (twice, I've wasted so much time today -_-)
None of those did the job, so that's why I've decided to make a thread here.
Maybe is there a file somewhere that has something like "Old Graphics Card Support = 1" so that I can easily just change it to "0", or is that too naive?
Again, my desktop, while not being the best gaming computer, is defiantly sufficient enough to handle CF enough to not need old gpu support.
Looks magnificent. Perhaps tomorrow I will try again to install the mod... tbh though I'm having doubts if my GMA 950 will even handle crossfire with how good the screenshot looks...
Well, Christmas is coming, so maybe I can get my family to get me a power supply and a wifi adapter for my desktop, then I'd be able to put that Nvidia 8400 GS that my friend gifted to me to use. 
Ah, thanks, I'll try searching that up.
As for your advice, thank you kindly, but It'll be a very long time before I'm willing to try it. You see, I'm 17 now, so I'm still being forced to live with him. He's made me pretty miserable since middle school, and the in the past year he's degenerated into just plain trying to screw me over. I plan to move out as soon as I hit 18, and just ghost 'em. I'll give it a decade, then I'll ask my family about him. (they all think he's a prick right now too)
I find your vernacular quite cryptic, but I got the jist of it. Interesting how many dialects of english that I never noticed there are.
Oh man, I've been waiting since they first launched new horizons for this! So happy! Pluto isn't just a blob without any textures anymore! 
Played around with the Rebalance mod, but now I'm bored. Also, got tired of the spontaneous star wars music... its really not my style. Aside from a few annoying bugs though, its a great mod. 
Now I guess I'll see what that WTS World mod is about.
There's this song that my dad used to play in our truck (It had a really nice Nakamichi sound system in it).
I don't talk to him anymore cause he's a prick, but I really liked this song, and I can't for the life of me remember what it's called or who it's by.
I know that it's an electronic remix of moonlight sonata, and it starts off with a nice beat.
And later in the song it does some cool things with the piano aswell.
Last time I heard it I was in elementary school, so it released pre-2007. I'm thinking anywhere from 2000-2005, but I could be wrong.
If anyone has any guesses, have at it. I can identify if it's the song I'm looking for within a few seconds.
Are there any other mods out there where it adds a lot to the game, but I can also play through the story?
<p>Well I don't send them to people...NSA only get's my pr0nz if I send them. Also my phone has no sim card so it only works with wifi. ^^</p>
RIP. Ok give me a shout when you come back.
Code Geass is what I'll probably watch after I'm finished watching Aldnoah Zero season 2.
But yeah, tbh Zankyou no Terror is probably the best anime I've seen in awhile. Reminds me alot of Death Note.
Also that opening song is stuck in my head...
Has anyone else watched Zankyou no Terror? Just finished it, it's great you should go watch it right now if you haven't. It's 11 episodes. The ending is kind of sad.
Don't worry, all my pr0n is on my smartphone 
Let me go look up the difference between my time zone and german time zone...
and get team viewer aswell...
Ok... so that's 11:30pm for me, I can do that. you meant 8pm for you, right? not am? or just 0800 hrs? I know france uses 24hr clock, but I don't know for germany... sorry I'm so confused over something so simple 
Well, I think I have an idea of the times you are usually on here... around 4-5am ish for me. Pretty late, but it's summer break, so no problem for me. Just PM me and I'll give you my ID and password for my teamview.
Hahaha, well I had to try!
