Update your 3D cards drivers to the latest and update GC2 to the official 1.2 version. Might want to check out that you have laterst DirectX 9c version too.

To update or re-install your video drivers:

1) Go to the website for the manufacturer of your video card, usually Intel, NVidia, or ATI and download the latest drivers.
2) Right click on your my computer icon and choose properties
3) Click on the hardware tab
4) Click on the Device Manager
5) Select your video card under Display adapters and right click on it. Choose Uninstall.
6) Reboot
7) Cancel the Found New Hardware wizard when you log back into windows
8) Install the drivers you downloaded (you may need to reboot again after installing them).

You can download the standalone 1.2 patch from the downloads section of this site.

Also, make sure that you didn't set your ship color to be white or light grey from the customize race screen.

I think I might have a similar problem. I don't see any textures on my ships. I see the hull/trim color fine, but there are no textures. I don't have 'disable ship textures' selected in options, and I just installed the Nvidia drivers mentioned in another thread here. Is thers something simple I'm not doing? (it seems as though that's always the case)
