Difference beetween Penumbra original and Overture Episode 1 - denyboy - 06-16-2007
When i was playing penumbra from downloaded from: http://frictionalgames.com/penumbra/
graphic looks phenomenal. Shading looks good. Game is dark, and flashlite look usable, FPS is good. Light effects are good.
But when i installed Overture Episode One.
Game is not so dark, FPS is lower, flashlite effects look very bad, glowstick effects look very bad, sometimes i have flashlite on and its all dark anyway, there is some ugly lighning as it is cubic. Some objects near me are almost 100% dark black. And Flashlite and glowstick effects are weird with lot near and far objects staying black. Some far objects turn suddenly from black to visible when i come closer.
I have Pentium 4 3.2 Ghz 512 RAM, ATI Mobility Radeon 9200
What could be problem. Penumbra look good, but Overture look bad. I could add screenshot if its needed.

Could you post some screenshot please? That just sounded like driver issues. Are you using the same drivers you had when you tried the tech demo?

I have a Radeon 9600 and it plays just fine like the Tech demo. I have absolutely 0 problems playing it nor do I see any faults in Flashlight or Glowstick effects.

Niiiiiccceeee. I solved my problem by installing older omega 3.8.252 drivers.
Interesting. But still its strange that on my old drivers Penumbra original works well while overture episode one didnt work well (graphicly). Its based on same engine.
Thank on mentioning drivers Koi Kitsune2006.
