Isn't there something EA can do from its end to prod nVidia along with this? It is the most annoying bug.
I notice saving and reloading helps (f5 quick and then f9), my guess is it forces the textures to load properly. Unfortunately that doesn't help when in a conversation cutscene or whatnot.
Using a Geforce GTX 560ti.

Wrong, it's not a GPU/Render problem when it's happening with GTX Titan Black as well. That's called a shoddy code problem.

Older rig with the same problem. Started happening yeasterday when I finally updated my nVidia graphics drivers after about a year.
CPU: i5 750 2.6 Ghz
Card: GTX 560
Rolled back my driver to 340.52 and the issue seems to be resolved.

I'm a PC user with the following high-quality rig:
iCore i7 5920k
16GB RAM
1GB Velociraptor HDD w/ a 100GB SSD as a boot-up system
EVGA GTX 970 OC'd from 1215MHz to 1337MHz
Despite the powerful gear, I was experiencing the same problem as the OP.
However, I was able to fix the problem, without downgrading the renderer to DirectX 9, and after some major experimentation.
I have an iCore i7 5920k and an EVGA GTX 970 that is even slightly overclocked from 1215MHz to 1337MHz. One would think I have a less stable machine as a result.
I used windowed mode in place of full screen mode. And, to get rid of the annoying frame at the top of the screen, I used a homemade free app called "Windowed Borderless Gaming." When in windowed mode, I was able to crank up all the settings, including SSAO, high and Very High Quality Textures (VHQTs), without an issue.
If you're still running into this issue, give it a try.

Windowed mode does not work for me (GTX 970). Still get missing textures.

Player for a few hours using your fix, Antoninus, and it seems to have finally fixed the issue. You're a legend.

Yep, still a big problem. It happens often, I'd say a couple times an hour on cutscenes mostly. As this is an older game, I don't see a fix coming our way anytime soon.

The moderators on this forum are not developers. Most of them are volunteers who don't even work for EA.
It's also very much an Nvidia problem. The game worked perfectly fine until Nvidia released terrible drivers and never bothered fixing it.
