Title: Setup and graphics issues
Post by: Uffargh on October 21, 2008, 11:40:36 pm

Hello

I've been rummaging around the archives for troublesolvings similar to my issue, but i did not find anything that matched my trouble exactly. I do hope that i am right in that perception, and that i do not waste anybodys time.

To put it bluntly, I cannot view pictures that has text in them. In the setup screen this results in a completely blank page with some text and a few buttons to mark in. At character creation I cannot view the avatars of my character, or any other "button" for that matter. Ingame, all my boxes (inventory, chat box etc) have a strikingly white background and lacks in certain things (I assume)

I have a dualcore T2390 processer (1.86Ghz) and 2Gb of ram. I run Windows XP sp3. My nemesis, i believe, is my graphics card. It is a SiS672 Mirage 3+ with 256mb RAM. Since it is a pretty noname graphics card, and an onboard graphics card at that, i have no idea whatsoever to its ability to run Planeshift. I have an idea that is in the area after "acceptable" but stops right before "awesome".

I read in an old post, that it could be related to the opengll process/file - I do not know exactly what that entails, but i have tried changing some commands in the respective(?) r3dopengl file, without any luck. - Perhaps someone out there knows exactly what to change?

I'm looking forward to any replies - Uffargh :)

Ah. must've gone over that, seeing it's labelled "vista problem". Thanks for your time.
