I'm also having Oleg_Kr's problem (the posted pictures are exactly what's happening for me). Game works fine for a few minutes then hangs system for a few (10+ seconds) and then all textures are broken. I say system rather than game because any background sounds (such as music from Winamp) will also hang. Each time the game hangs, there seems to be a chance that the system will flat out crash (no bluescreen, just restarts).
This is NOT an overheating problem, I've run the temperature monitoring program for my motherboard as well as GPU-z for my graphics card and, while the game does move the temperatures from high 30 degrees to early 40s it does not go higher at any point.
Playing with all graphics settings set to low allows for a good 10 minutes or so of gameplay before the hangs start happening, as opposed to the 5 minutes on highest graphics.
This problem happens on multiple versions of the Forceware driver. It first happened in 270.61, then I tried updating to the latest driver version (275.33) and problem persisted. On advice posted in this topic I tried downgrading to 196.21 and new problems arose. The game would often seem to run out of memory for textures (even on lowest settings) if you zoomed out too far or picked certain camera angles and would display everything but lighting effects (if on) and characters as black textures. However it was playable for a little longer before system started to hang.
Judging by how Oleg_Kr is also running a GT 240, I'm guessing that might be the cause of the problem somehow?
