Title: Clear and black tiles in thw wilderness.
Post by: Ishtar2 on November 12, 2006, 12:13:22 am

In the area around Oja road and the area around the Bronze Doors instead of the normal tiles I get black and clear tiles:

*I don't know if the image will work, so the link is to the same thing.

My display drive is the Intel 82865G Graphics Controller.  I have Windows XP, and the computer is from 2003.

And yes, I did post this problem a long time ago, but I never got any real help.

Hello,

Upon the mention of this problem before, you were given a link to this thread (http://hydlaa.com/smf/index.php?topic=24489.0). Have you glanced over it, and tried some of the suggestions contained within?

Do keep in mind that you have an integrated graphics chipset and not an actual video card - and if you don't have at least 64MB of video memory, you fall below the minimum requirements for the game.

I have 96 MB of videocard memory, altough I am short a little RAM, 504, not 512.

I don't remember reading that thread last time, how do you re-light, though?

There are instructions within that thread, I think.

Add -relight to the the target line of your PS shortcut. Right-click on the shortcut, go to Properties, and you'll see the target line :] Like so:

Then hit apply and run?

Yes :] Make sure however that before you do this, your character is located in the area where you are having this graphical problem. Once you've done that, log out, add -relight, run PlaneShift, and (once things are fine) log back out and remove -relight from the shortcut. Wouldn't want to relight every time you log on.

Ok. Thanks


False Alarm, "-relight" didn't work.

Ultimately I would advise that you simply get a real video card ;)
