@eleckto01 Well, the graphics glitch with pet fur suggests this might be a system issue. It would be helpful if you could run a dxdiag and attach the results to a post here (use the Browse button).

Please also open the deviceconfig file inside your game folder, and copy the first 40 or so lines into a post here. Be sure to delete the user and computer names if they reference your real name, but none of the other info is specific to your system.

Hardware TnL: 1i just made a new game and played it for a couple hours.It doesnt show any glitches sign tho.
@eleckto01 I'd still like to see the full dxdiag, saved as a txt file and attached to a post. There's some information further down that I want to check.
Your graphics card is more than strong enough to handle rendering pets, and everything else that TS3 can throw at it. But it's not recognized by the game, and you also have the 32 MB texture memory override. Editing the game's .sgr files may fix the issues, and I'm happy to help.
