I strongly suspect that it could be just that I have a very old graphics card (no more updates exist). That said, it does seem strange to me that, last I checked, I could still play War Thunder on minimum settings but not this? That gives me some hope that at least it isn't entirely my graphics card and maybe there is hope, but idk.

I did switch between the two rendering modes, no effect.
I cannot update my graphics driver, no further updates exist.

I hope it isn't my graphics driver, but I suspect. It does seem odd though that it can run much more graphically intensive games like Armello and War Thunder, albeit with a little stutter in both.

I should also mention that there are two major changes since about 6 months to a year ago, the last time I tried to play it:

1.17 update (fresh install, see below)
Upgraded the laptop to Win10. This was a fresh install and all previous files were cleared.

I literally just read that before posting this. The points are addressed in the OP:

"I did switch between the two rendering modes, no effect.
I cannot update my graphics driver, no further updates exist."

The only other thing that post suggests is that the computer may not be able to handle it, which is possible but questionable given the complexity of what it can handle.

I wonder if the installer got corrupted. What happens if you re-download the FeralHeart installer, then reinstall the game with it?

My presets.

Good things take time, so I'll take an eternity and create something so good that the human brain can't handle the sheer goodness of it.

Hey, there is another fix on that help thread that has to do with Ogre! I'd recommend trying out those fixes for Ogre. c:

Also, this may help: https://feral-heart.com/smf/index.php?topic=2296.0

I will try that.

I will try re-installing first, see if that works. I think a few of them mention ways of modifying the file that I will try next.


Will hopefully get back to both of you soon.


First attempt: I tried deleting the files manually from the first installation, but my computer still detected the old files somehow. Struggling to properly uninstall it now. Second installation failed but if it is a corrupted file I could see how it may have been left.

Second attempt: managed to uninstall the files, must have recognized the new download attempt and managed to get the old stuff too. Second attempt worked. Some notes: to be on the safe side, I did a "light" installation, and also did not modify the folder location from its original destination. Idk if those steps were necessary, but between not modifying the destination to programfilesX83, and using a light install, and just reinstalling, it seems to be working. Thanks, and I consider this problem solved!
