Right now no dev has a copy of Vista installed, so we can't tell if this is a problem with your drivers/hardware or with Vista support itself. It's known that Vista will have lots of problems with games (some popular commercial ones don't even run!) for at least several months until new drivers and patches are released to fix all the remaining big bugs. We'll try our best to solve any problems on our side however.

Can you post your hardware specs please?

Just pointing out that "Godsend" is going to get you a poke from our GM team sooner or later :} If you think of an alternative fantasy name (actual name, not a combination of words) just make a /petition and it will be changed for you.

Something like this:

/petition I'd like a new name - [insert name here] :)

Alternatively you can click on the "Petitions" icon on your top menu and work from there.

Can someone post a screen shot of what the lighting is supposed to look like? With the toolbars and everything? I'd like to know what I'm missing. 8)

This is the mines near Ojaveda at midnight.

This is the halfway point between Ojaveda and Hydlaa in the early afternoon.

And when was the last time you updated your drivers?

When I adjust the brightness and contrast, what's visible is brighter, but the black stays black. My computer is six months old. I suppose it could need an update. I'll check around.

BTW, when I am in the DeathRealm, tipping my screen toward me helps me see the pathway.

I just updated them on January 2, 2007 when I bught the new card. Before, I was running on a GeForce FX 5200, with 256 mb ram with old drivers (windows wouldnt let me install the new drivers until I wiped my hard discs and re-instaled windows). I update all my drivers through steam, which automatically detects your system specs and tells you when a new driver is released.

Sorry for the Double-Post.

Its getting really annoying, so I frapsed it JUST to show you.

The Framerate was horrible as you can see. and there would be a "flash" of re-coloring that would occur for a half a second every 3-5 minutes.

that looks like theres absolutely no hardware acceleration on your computer, looks more like it's running in pci mode or software mode

did you btw try what i suggested in the other thread to manualy install the agp driver for your motherboard?
Title: Re: Textures not rendering
Post by: Shimmabuku on February 12, 2007, 10:54:41 pm
Yeah. I Re-installed the drivers and I got an update. I can run pretty much anything at the moment BUT planeshift. Its almost like planehsift is configured to my old graphics card. Maybe I still have Nvidia Files somewhere that the game is running on?
