That is what I see when I enter the wilderness, makes it very hard to navigate, any ideas why this happens?

Try to relight the map. Log off in this region, then right-click on your PS shortcut and in the Target line add -relight, with a space between that and the line that's already there. Then run the game and wait for it to load - it can take a very long time, up to several hours depending on your system. Afterwards though this should be fixed :] Remember to take -relight out of the shortcut next time, so you don't have to wait like this every time.

If it doesn't change anything, post your system specs for us.

What do you mean by target line?

take a look at this image posted by Karyuu... but instead -fullbright, you want to put -relight, as said by Karyuu.

In the future, when making screenshots, use "/screenshot nogui" in the chat window.
Your guildmates wouldn't like you viewing their chat to everyone.

So I need to get a graphics card then?

Using onboard isn't a wise idea.

Anyway I can find out what slot type I have without looking inside?

Run to the store and buy the best videocard you can get for $50.
About the slots: look up which motherboard model you are using and look up if it supports PCI-E or AGP.
You need special videocard models for the different slot types.
Use a program like HWinfo (http://www.hwinfo.sk/files/hw32_171.exe) to find out what you have.

I think its PCI as thats the only thing out of ISA, PCI and AGP that came up.

It says PCI bus

AGP is better than PCI, look to be sure just open up your case, your going to have to open it anyway to install the thing.

I know that AGP is better than PCI, I just don't want to waste money on a card I can't use.


PCI is white and AGP is brown?

Usally yes.
