ok i think you can archive it now if you want, might ask to reopen it or make a new one if it reappears but thanks to whoever told me about the addons!
Issue resolved, thread archived as requested.

Try updating your PC's drivers. If that doesn't help, it is most likely happening because your computer runs out of video ram.
video ram, how do i increase it, is it my graphics card or something else?
i have 896 mb of dedicated memory out of 4095
i tried changing my dedicated ram but it did not work, i couldnt find teh options for it
That's the RAM that your computer has to run off of to do everything (which btw, 4 GBs of RAM is scraping the bucket pretty low, might wanna consider upgrading.). Your graphics card primarily uses the VRAM which is built into your card. Do you have your PC's specifications written down somewhere? It would be helpful to see them.
I think i had some specs written down somewhere but i dont know where it is now, but what kind of stuff do you need to know
Well rip, now everything is errors and black boxes and fucking everything bad imagniable
I've seen this happening on old low-end computers before and I have to agree with Daley that your computer seem to run out of VRam.
See how much VRam you got by following these steps:
Windows:
- Open the Control Panel.
- Select Display.
- Select Screen Resolution.
- Select Advanced Settings.
- Select the Adapter tab. Here, you will see how much Total Available Graphics Memory and Dedicated Video Memory is available on your system.

Edit:
What operating system are you running?
I must point out, that you should update your VIDEO DRIVERS before anything else and any other OUTDATED DRIVERS. If that does not work, you do not have enough Video Ram to run the game properly.
