Model files .dds causing performance issues.

<div class="IPBDescription">keep giving errors on console.</div>im having some fps issues

and I think its caused by a ######load of errors im getting during the game

as I open the console I can read like thousands of lines with erros like:

"couldn't load model ... files.... /alien/whip/xxxxxxxxxxxxx.dds unknown file type or something like this."

EDIT: found the log.

any tips?

in b4 "what is your spec":
Core 2 Duo 3.0 Ghz
4 GB Ram
Geforce 550ti
Windows 8 Pro
pretty decent BF3 performance (just to poke the wound a bit more)
