Poor Graphics - johnsonsinutah - 01-13-2009
Ok, I continue to have terrible graphics such that only I can only see the items I can interact with, this results in most of the screen being white. I have a triple core with 4GB of memory, I'm running a radeon HD 3600 board with 1 GB of onboard memory. I'm running Vista. Any ideas? I'd copy a screen print but I don't know how to do that from in the game.
Thanks

Did you try update your graphics card drivers?
RE: Poor Graphics - johnsonsinutah - 01-15-2009
I updated my drivers and the graphics "inside" improved a bit, but anything "outside" is completely white except for the items I can interact with. Sometimes doors are visible, most times not. Any ideas? It's like trying to play with my eyes closed...very annoying.
Appreciate any thoughts!

Boy, I'm glad I didn't pay much for this game, it very poorly supported. Too bad, it's fun, at least when I can see any of the graphics.

Have you tried altering the settings? It helps sometimes.
RE: Poor Graphics - johnsonsinutah - 01-16-2009
I've changed every thing I can....no improvement.
RE: Poor Graphics - Thomas - 01-16-2009
It might be some driver issues. The games runs on OpenGL and sometimes some of the graphic card companies are a little bad at the OpenGL support. We have tried it on new Radeon HD cards and it works fine, but sometimes there are still problem I am afraid
Sometimes uninstalling drivers and then installing them again will fix the problems as it might be some issue with settings. Try that and see what happens.

lol are you talking about the TUTORIAL? cause there IT IS supposed to be all white lol
RE: Poor Graphics - eliasfrost - 01-17-2009
DiNeRo's got a point, try playing after the tutorial, if you haven't already. ^^
RE: Poor Graphics - johnsonsinutah - 01-17-2009
No, I skipped the tutorial, in fact I think I'm pretty far along, I'm to the point where I'm in some complex where I've had to navigate past the "wolves" (or whatever they are) to obtain a key card from some dead guy.
