I started having this problem as soon as I upgraded from a P2-300 to an 850.
I'm convinced it's some kind of internal race condition or memory garbage
bug and somehow, rigs with faster framerates are more susceptible to it.

One way I dealt with it was to turn additional graphic effects (fog) on. I
heard someone else say they fixed it by upping the resolution. Somehow,
putting more load on the CPU makes the bug less likely to happen. Another
thing that makes me think this is timing related is that no one seemed to
hit in the first few months after release but then more and more people
started reporting it (presumably as the average quality of hardware out
there got better.)

Of course, the last resort is to walk. The Twon-ha is just for convenience
and you won't be blocked or miss out on any plot because of an inability to
ride it. But it's frustrating, both because the maps are so big and because
it was so much fun charging down the streets of Okriana, watching the
soldiers eat my dust and the smelly beast spraying Twonha-snot all over the
pathetic citizens.
