Bug#389401: vdrift: bad display+crash if texture detail changed

[Eddy Petrişor]

Subject: vdrift: bad display+crash if texture detail changed
Package: vdrift
Version: 0.0.2006.02.21-1
Severity: important

Hello,

If I want to run vdrift and change the texture detail to a lower value
(medium or low), the text becomes unreadable (only rectangles instead of
letters). It appears that the next message after doing this is some kind
of confirmation (?) because if the user presses Enter when this appears
the game exits/crashes(?) and no information is placed in the logs.
