Title: I can't see the charecters in charecter creation
Post by: henetnet on December 11, 2005, 11:55:14 am

In the area, where you are supposed to see a carecter, all I see is something like either a floating, featureless head, or a pair of eyes and nothing else, or a floating jacket, never the whole charecter.

Definitely sounds like something that a graphics driver update will fix.

My system is totally updated. I tried again, and it was the same thing.

I meet the minimum requirement. How do you check to see what card you have?

You\'re on Windows, yes? Right-click anywhere on the desktop and hit Properties, move to the Settings tab, and look under Display.

That\'s... a really low card. 4-8mb is just not going to work, if I\'ve researched correctly. I think you\'d need a much better graphics card to run the game. Have you been able to run any other \"heavy\" games, like MMOs or FPSs, or tried?

I\'ve never really tried downloading other games

Sadly I don\'t think PlaneShift is going to work with normal graphics for you at the moment. Perhaps keep it in mind when you upgrade your system, though :)
