I don't know if this is your problem BUT textures must be sized as a power of 2.

32 X 32
16 X 16
2048 X 1024

they don't have to be square, but sides must be a number that is a power of 2 ( for those mathematically challenged: 2 4 8 16 32 64 128 256 512 1024 2048 4096)

Also, you must EXPLICITLY give a texture, if it uses a default (usually the last texture ysed) I have found things get unpredictable and weird.

OZ runs pretty strangely for me, especially 8.3.. i have to like spam click to make it load faster at times lol and some other stuff behaves strangely

It is sluggish, and doesn't seem to do shading/shadows right.

It is also a memory hog. If you have less than a GB or are running enough to leave OZ only 500MB or less, it will D R A G G G your computer to a halt. If you keep it the focused window, and give it time to balance out virtual memory, it is usable.

Make sure that texture caching is OFF in your client. That's pretty important.
