Title: (PROBLEM WITH VISUALS?) Updating your graphic cards drivers!
Post by: Redlinelies on January 09, 2011, 07:56:37 am: ////For Nvidia Geforce, and Ati Amd Graphic cards. (Windows)
Users with Intel onboard graphics can always try to look here (http://www.intel.com/support/detect.htm)

This will probably be updated with time, and more info will get added on the way. If you noticed something that isn't correct in these instructions then tell so. Might write something incorrectly. Do this on your own risk.

BEFORE YOU TRY THIS, MAKE SURE YOU TRY WHAT'S BEEN SAID HERE:
http://www.feral-heart.com/index.php?option=com_jfusion&Itemid=2&jfile=index.php&topic=10423.0 (http://www.feral-heart.com/index.php?option=com_jfusion&Itemid=2&jfile=index.php&topic=10423.0)
And don't be scared of the amount of text, It's just there to make it all alot more understandable.

***READ***
Alot of people seem to be having problems with the visual inside the game looking all spazztic and or crashes when loading menus. This COULD be because your graphic card drivers is out of date and simply needs to be updated.

If you have tried fixing your problem in other ways without any luck, trying this wouldn't hurt.

Updating drivers is not that hard to try out and see if it helps. But if you never done anything with them before, it can get slightly confusing and asking someone to do it that knows, would really help. I don't want to cause uncessesary problems.

Anyways, if you are going to install new drivers. Then just keep reading.

To install new drivers for most Graphic cards. You need to know 2 things.
1. What operating system are you currently running and is it 32 or 64 bit?
2. What kind of graphic card is inside your Computer?

If you already know for certain what operating system and graphics card you are running and how many bits, skip this. And go directly on how to install drivers.
//////How To Find Out Your Operating System
There's other ways to do it but this is how I'd do it. And I know this works for both xp/vista/win 7.

First check if there's any sticker on the computer from when you first bought it saying what you are using. It can be found somewhere on the computer case, but if you don't see or find one. Here's another way to do it.

Every computer have a program called "Run" in Xp it's an icon inside the start menu(start menu is the flag icon down in your left corner) called Run. And if you use vista/win 7 it's built into the start menu. So just write directly in the little search bar that you find directly over it.

Write this into the feild "msinfo32.exe" Without the "". This will give you a new window.

What we are intrested in is the one at the top, Operating systems name, and system type(This tells the bits of the system). If system type says it's an x86-based PC you have a 32-bit operating system. If it says x64-based PC it's a 64 bit.

So write this down if you feel like you wont remember it.

Keep this window opened if you don't know what graphics card you are using either.

//////How to find out what kind of graphics card you have
In the same window that was opened for finding out the operating system(msinfo32.exe). You can find what graphics card you have. Just double click the components text on the left. Then find "Display" on that list. Click it.

It should show a new information in the main box, and The name on the top of it is the actual name of your card. And that is what we were looking for.

Write that down aswell.

There, Now we know what we need to know to get the RIGHT drivers for your computer. Lets move on.

//////How to Download the drivers

Ok, so now when we know what we have. We need to download the actual drivers.

For the people with Geforce Nvidia cards. Go to this site.
http://www.nvidia.co.uk/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-uk (http://www.nvidia.co.uk/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-uk)

Raz edit: auto detection is available here http://www.nvidia.com/Download/Scan.aspx (http://www.nvidia.com/Download/Scan.aspx)

For those with ATI amd cards, go here.
http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/Pages/index.aspx (http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/Pages/index.aspx)

Auto detection for AMD(posted by jayfeather55):
http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/windows/Pages/auto_detect.aspx (http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/windows/Pages/auto_detect.aspx)

Locate the right one with help of the info we got got from the earlier step.

When You choosed the right ones. click search/display results.

Nvidia users will click the check box of "I agree the terms..." and then press download now.
AMD ATI. You will probably need to look around slightly all depending on how the layout of the site look. But looks for something called "Catalyst Software Suite" Or similar.

Now download the driver, and save it onto your desktop for easy acess.... Another step complete.

//////Getting ridd of the old display driver

Before we can actually install the driver we downloaded it's IMPORTANT that we uninstall/remove the older one, or else things can start acting up. And this is how you do it.

The old drivers can easily be found in the control panel. Control panel is located in the start menu. Inside the control panel, look for something called "Programs and Features".

Nvidia users should look for something called "nvidia drivers" or nvidia graphic driver. Can wary from computer to computer.

ATI AMD users should look for something called "ATI Catalyst install manager" Or ATI display driver, can also wary from computer to computer.

That is the current driver your computer is using, and we need to uninstall that. Keep in mind that when we remove this. The computer will most likely need a restart, and the screen might go black for a few seconds. When starting up the computer next time without drivers. It might be extremely big icons, bad visual quality and slow screens. But don't worry. That's what the display driver is for. To make the graphic card perform better.

I suggest you keep reading this though till the end, so you don't need to open the site after you removed the drivers.

//////Installing the new drivers(Final)
When you have sucessfully uninstalled the drivers.

Run the installer we downloaded and placed on the desktop. And install the drivers. Screen might flick and go black for abit here aswell.

Now if everything went correctly. It should be installed. And it might ask for you to restart the system again.

Try to run the game on low settings again. And see if it made any difference at all. But don't expect it to actually make any difference if the install got canceled or you get some error message when installing.

But atleast you got new fresh drivers on your computer!

Post by: Hitomi on January 09, 2011, 06:40:26 pm: I do not know.. If I should make a new post about this or I should just use this for a reply. But to say for instance what happens if you have a game Graphic card that does support your computer/laptop anymore? Like for instance.. My laptop is a Windows XP Home edtion # 3 and the game card graphic is an "Intel" Intel does not support my system anymore and when I went to update the graphics for it.. Intel only had 2 updates for me to use and it was an 2007 and a 2005 update. So would it be ok, if I just unistall Intel (R) Graphics and install the ones that you had posted up on the link? Or should I just forget the whole Ideal, because the computer has a diffrent operating system.. and installing something like that can mess up my whole laptop? :-\ I am kind of new at laptops and so far I have bad luck with them >_< so I thought asking you would be a better Ideal before I "kill or destroy" the laptop.

I am sorry for the bad grammer I am still learning :P

Post by: shell_prisoner on January 09, 2011, 07:31:34 pm: Most of Intel's videocards do not support FBOs (at least in Windows operating system). Try reading this topic (http://feral-heart.com/index.php?option=com_jfusion&Itemid=2&lang=en&jfile=index.php&topic=524.0), and report if it will help.

Sounds abit like the control panel is set to another view. I "think" That if you look on the left when inside the control panel, there's something called "classic view". If you'd change to that you will probably be able to see "Program and features". If not. Well look for something called. Programs And under it there should be something with the name uninstall program. It should bring you to a list with most of the things installed on your computer. Some maybe in your case Add or remove programs.

The window should look something like this http://techiedan.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/uninstall-program-from-vista.jpg

I'm not completely sure how you meant this. But I think I'd stay away from trying installing if I were you. You need the right drivers for the right graphics card you are using. Installing something else would not help. Not even sure if it would install at all. I suggest the same as shell did.

If there's no new drivers for the components you are happening to be using. Try that instead.

Post by: ForeverHowl on January 10, 2011, 04:45:55 pm: When you say, "Run on low settings," what do you mean by that?

Edit:

When I click on ATI Display Driver it won't let me uninstall it.

I've also got:
ATI Softwar Uninstall Utility
ATI Control Pannel
ATI (R) Radeon IGP 345M Graphics Control Driver for Microsoft(C) Windows(R) XP
would uninstalling either of those help?
Title: Re: (PROBLEM WITH VISUALS?) Updating your graphic cards drivers!
Post by: Dewheart on January 10, 2011, 06:58:47 pm: Well, I can't find ATI Catalyst install manager in Programs and Features. I've checked and double checked, but it isn't there.
Title: Re: (PROBLEM WITH VISUALS?) Updating your graphic cards drivers!
Post by: Mercy on January 10, 2011, 11:59:05 pm: I had this problem, so I even went through and searched my folder for anything ATI. It was a no go, so I just installed the appropriate download anyways, and it turns out that it contains all the files Red it talking about. I guess some computers dont even come with it? I haven't had a single error from it and when I reinstalled FH it ran without the errors it had before. My water is still white till I take off the reflection and my characters are still white, but it did take care of several other exceptions and errors I was experiencing. So if its not there the computer might just not have it and its safe to download.

As I said though, things are still white so this fix didn't cure it. :/ Thanks for the updates though Red! :D

'

When I say lowering the settings, I simply mean to change the settings to a less demanding option for your computer. Turning off shadows, water reflections. Lower Screen resolution inside the game etc.

Well, as mentioned, the name can wary from computer to computer. However, In your case I think you are supposed to run ATI Software Uninstall Utility. It will remove both the control panel for your graphics cand and the drivers to run it. But try the other options before you actually decide to remove everything and install new ones.

It can wary from computer to computer. look on what I replied to rose. But if you don't see anything ATI related at all. You might not have Any drivers on your system for it right now. Hard to tell for me.

I'm sorry you are still having problems. You should try to fiddle abit with the ogre.cfg and ingame settings. However though. Shell wrote about that some might have the problems because of the FBO extension. You can always try this

Josefine, this is the 2nd topic that I see you post in regarding the server in wrong thread. That problem you have is normal since the servers aren't up. You have to wait.. And please read the other threads about the server status and I'd be glad. Thanks

I don't have an english computer around but arr. Right click the background on the desktop. Then choose the one at bottom.

In XP it's called properties. Maybe it's called the same in vista and 7. But either way. It's thar.

In xp choose the tab ""settings"". And there you have it. In vista you have to choose display settings. I think it looks about the same in windows 7. It shouldn't really be that hard to find.

How do I figure out what the Product series, and Product is when downloading the new driver?

Title: Re: (PROBLEM WITH VISUALS?) Updating your graphic cards drivers!
Post by: Redlinelies on January 14, 2011, 05:36:09 am: Since your card is 6150 You need to look in the "6 series", then you'd be able to find GeForce 6150SE nForce 430 in the product tab. Simple as that :3

Post by: KiraraNeko on January 18, 2011, 12:54:12 am: okay, I'm having a bit of an issue with the colors not showing up. Most of everything on the screen is black, I don't know if this is because the server is down or if there's something actually wrong with the game/my computer.
Screenshots:
(http://i924.photobucket.com/albums/ad85/Raenloki/Random/FHTitleScreen.png)
(http://i924.photobucket.com/albums/ad85/Raenloki/Random/FHCharMaker.png)
There's also an issue of my mouse disappearing on the screen, it doesn't show up at all when I'm on the FH window. I had to click around wildly just to get to the character creator page.
Honestly I don't want to mess around with my computer's graphics card, I don't think it needs an update because I've never had a problem with a game like this, and I play MMORPGs and computer games all the time.
It may be worth mentioning that in Impressive Title, I had the same problem of some rocks or trees turning black, but it was never that big of a problem so I ignored it.
If it helps, my OS is Windows Vista 64bit, my graphics card is "ATI Radeon HD 3200 Graphics"
Title: Re: (PROBLEM WITH VISUALS?) Updating your graphic cards drivers!
Post by: Redlinelies on January 18, 2011, 12:54:20 pm: To be really honest, it wouldn't hurt updating your card. I think someone had the problem with a dissapearing mouse cursor and it worked properly after they updated the GPU. It's deffently not because the server is down, I can tell you that and be 100% sure.

But if you don't want to try it I'm not going to push you into doing it.

The card isn't completely new however. Driver updates sometimes comes monthly. Even though some games run fine, it doesn't mean that every game will. I think the game had some changes compared to IT so it probably doesn't render some things in the exact same way.

Sticky is here for people that want to try every means possible to get it working and need a helping hand. :3

I'm not sure about another way to fix your problem at the moment except the ones mentioned.
Title: Re: (PROBLEM WITH VISUALS?) Updating your graphic cards drivers!
Post by: KiraraNeko on January 19, 2011, 01:25:10 am: Alright well I've gone and updated the card, and there's been no change with the game. The mouse still disappears and there are black splotches everywhere as seen in the screen shots above. I also re-downloaded and reinstalled the game, which hasn't yielded any changes either.
I'm at a loss :/
Title: Re: (PROBLEM WITH VISUALS?) Updating your graphic cards drivers!
Post by: KiraraNeko on January 19, 2011, 10:36:27 am: Update: The game seems to be working perfectly fine now, here's a screenshot of the title screen the way it looks now:
(http://i924.photobucket.com/albums/ad85/Raenloki/Random/FHScreen.png)
Much better!
I went to FH's settings and changed the display from "OpejGL" to "Direct3D9", restarted the game, and everything suddenly works. I've no idea why, but for future reference if anyone is experiencing similar problems this is all I did to fix it. It was a bit of a pain in the butt because I can't see my cursor, but after some mad clicking I was able to get it.
Title: Re: (PROBLEM WITH VISUALS?) Updating your graphic cards drivers!
Post by: Redlinelies on January 19, 2011, 10:40:53 am: Oh I see. I thought you already tried that before without any luck kirara. Updating drivers is more of a last resort. I guess I better re-direct ontop of the orginal post so people actually change that before trying the drivers. There's a sticky about it aswell. Not like it hurts though. :3

The white character glitch is something we don't know a solution for yet. Some cards just don't support FH rendering mode. Not sure how this will be fixed.

You gotta know for certain what card you have. Installing different ones can give you problems.

And just follow the steps. But on that page you are now. You just need to choose what you have in the dropboxes with the info I helped you get in the tutorial. Simple as that.

That what's half of the tutorial is for. To help people find out what sort of drivers they need to download.

When you know what you have. Just drop down the boxes and choose. The site will automaticly find links to the newest ones.

Post by: Ouuka on February 07, 2011, 03:52:15 am: I beleive for the white character glitch it is not a graphic problem, now im not a genius at computers or graphic cards at the least but my bf is having this problem and yet hes played so many games on his computer all of which require a good graphics card. Maybe it is something small im not understanding with it but hes played games higher then FH graphics and never had problem, he did have to change the ogre settings so possibly it could be something with that? From what ive read researching white character bug it came with the ogre error first then when thats fixed still lil things in game (water and character -white-) end up being messed up. Ill try to help him as much as i can before having to buy a new graphics for him, but if i do find a solution ill definitely fill yall in on it :) Also Red that was a great tutorial u put up, ^-^ was never hard to keep track of each step ty :D

Post by: Ouuka on February 07, 2011, 05:15:40 am: Sorry for double post but i did some research for these 'White Characters' . It seems those who have white characters need presets made. Its only way they will be able to have a character of their own. So sadly no custom making. I made my bf a preset and it works for him, he still sees other ppl as white and im bout to try the preset file where if i have it and he has it we both can see what we look like. He doesnt care since he said hes gonna be with me most of the time lol but it is unfortunate he cant see ppl cools custom chars or mess with FH character system :\ But least he can play with a char he personally likes and to others he looks like a regular preset 1 char so its not hard for me to find him amongst all the neon colors i see haha ;) Until The white character can be explained more by admin or someone testing as well(or graphic card if necessary) its all info i have atm :\ and only way it seems to have fun on FH. just happy he can play atm teehee <3

Edit: Sorry Red if this was wrong place to post this, just figured this is where most ppl go for their white char problem, id be glad to move it else where if u need :)

But. First step on that ATI page is "Select the type of system that you have"... haha, I'm stupid but really, those Desktop Graphics, Notebook Graphics, MAC graphics don't tell me anything.... altough I know that my computer is not mac. :D And I tried all of those but I find just one Radeon Xpress but then there wasn't Radeon Xpress 1300 at all. :/

// Oh, now I get it! Desktop it's like computer on the table! Is it? But wah, notebook? And TV tuner...? :S
And yeah, I didn't find my that graphic card that I have... :/

Quote
I went to FH's settings and changed the display from "OpejGL" to "Direct3D9", restarted the game, and everything suddenly works. I've no idea why, but for future reference if anyone is experiencing similar problems this is all I did to fix it. It was a bit of a pain in the butt because I can't see my cursor, but after some mad clicking I was able to get it.
I'd like to test this first. But... well, how? :D Where I find FH's settings?

Oh, I found something but there isn't anything about display... Feral Heart file and there was settings but there wasn't anything about display. Well then?

Sorry for bothering you again. :/

Its small, I apologize for that. But you can see Display is highlighted and nothing is in the box beside it. I was given the computer as a gift only two months ago, its a Dell Inspiron E1505. My grandmother owned it before me and used it for her Bejeweled like games and very little else.

Do you know of any other way to figure out what Graphic Card it has? If I can figure it out, I can find the drivers for it..

I opened it but I got text like this:

There's no OpejGL but there's that direct thing... So, what should I change?
Title: Re: (PROBLEM WITH VISUALS?) Updating your graphic cards drivers!
Post by: FieryMaze on February 17, 2011, 02:22:54 am: Corneille:

When you have the Notepad open, you change the following:

Render System=OpenGL Rendering Subsystem < - You'll be making the change just to this line.
[Direct3D9 Rendering Subsystem]
Allow NVPerfHUD=No
Anti aliasing=None
Floating-point mode=Fastest
Full Screen=No
VSync=No
Video Mode=800 x 600 @ 32-bit colour

Colour Depth=32
Display Frequency=N/A
FSAA=0
Full Screen=No
RTT Preferred Mode=FBO
VSync=No
Video Mode=800 x 600

With Changes:

Render System=Direct3D9 Rendering Subsystem < - You change the OpenGL to Direct3D9
[Direct3D9 Rendering Subsystem]
Allow NVPerfHUD=No
Anti aliasing=None
Floating-point mode=Fastest
Full Screen=No

Display Frequency=N/A
FSAA=0
Full Screen=No
RTT Preferred Mode=FBO

The rest except for that first line stays the same.

eep. This seems to be out of my league, But you are most likely using an on board graphic card without any drivers at all. Do you have any information papers on which onboard graphics it is using? And do you have the complete name of the computer. Not only manufacturer but series aswell?

Post by: Redlinelies on February 18, 2011, 03:44:17 am: The screenshots is good, but if we'd be able to move anywhere we would probably need some sort of name. There's quite a few dell computers out there, example "Dell Inspiron 640m or E1505", and trying to pick out some drivers can be very difficult.

Atleast for me since I'm not the cleverest.

Maybe something intresting is displayed in the bios but I somehow doubt it.

Post by: Redlinelies on February 19, 2011, 08:15:38 pm: Lower the resolution, turning off anti aliasing if enabled, remove water relfections, lower view distances etc, are things that usually improve the framerate.

In some cases people still experience lag when playing in a crowded map in multiplayer. But it's natural for most.

Post by: Axelrose on February 20, 2011, 08:56:27 am: Sorry to bother you but...

I'm having the same problem that Kirara had (with the characters turning black and whatnot), though no matter what I've done, nothing seems to work.

I've updated my graphics card, and have checked in three different ways that it was updated and that I didn't do anything screwy. I've also messed with the Direct3D9 and the OpenGL or whatever they're called. I've read through this thread, and a few others that have to deal with the visuals.

I don't think it's the computer, since it's run MMORPG's before, but I guess I won't rule it out.

Is there anything I haven't tried doing?

EDIT: I tried again with the Direct3D9 and it works a lot better now. The thing is, when I'm making characters when using that the pelts don't change color. I can sometimes get the graphics to work long enough with OpenGL but it's a pain.

I guess my question still is is there something else I can try, or else I can just keep switching back and forth XD

Yeah, I think that got us onto something. I think you've got a "Dell Inspiron 6400 Model MM061". I'm not fully sure what kind of card you're using. But these are some drivers I dug out. I have never used dells own hompage for downloading things like these but I think this,

http://support.us.dell.com/support/downloads/download.aspx?c=us&l=en&s=gen&releaseid=R120464&formatcnt=0&libid=0&typeid=-1&dateid=-1&formatid=-1&source=-1&fileid=160516 (http://support.us.dell.com/support/downloads/download.aspx?c=us&l=en&s=gen&releaseid=R120464&formatcnt=0&libid=0&typeid=-1&dateid=-1&formatid=-1&source=-1&fileid=160516)

Is what you are looking for. Hopefully.. But it seems legit.. And it's what I would have tried. However, it's drivers from 06, so I don't know how useful they'd actually be.

So, when using Direct3D9 it looks like it should, but when you change the characters colours nothing happens?

If this is the case, I'm not really sure. Not because I got any ideas, but do you have a screenshot of it?

Post by: Redlinelies on February 26, 2011, 07:12:34 pm: Then there shouldn't be much problems installing the drivers since it seems the last drivers for that card was this year.

Just find out what os you are using then go to the Nvidia driver page linked in the first post and fill in the boxes. Or use the auto detect one raz edited in.

Download the driver, Remove the old one from control panel. Restart if needed. Then install the new one you downloaded.

Title: Re: (PROBLEM WITH VISUALS?) Updating your graphic cards drivers!
Post by: Redlinelies on April 23, 2011, 09:08:14 pm: Well, to be really honest, alot of things seem to be wierd there since you actually don't see some things at all, you don't even see shades of the trees or other meshes, In your case I'd actually try to redownload the game installer again and try if it works better since nothing can happen when doing this.

Thing is though that you're using Intel onboards graphics, and those aren't exactly the top notch. The last patch were meant to help so it would run on more systems using these, but it might not still be able to work on yours.

The tut here was mainly for computers that use nvidia and amd ati cards.

I'm not too fond when it comes to the intel drivers, or how old your system is for that fact. But if you know the manufacturer for your computer and the name for your graphic chipset you could probably google your way to some answers and see if there's new drivers for your computer, but in some cases it doesn't change much and maybe you'll still have the same problem, but ofcourse, might work.

Title: Re: (PROBLEM WITH VISUALS?) Updating your graphic cards drivers!
Post by: Redlinelies on July 19, 2011, 03:12:12 am: Well, one of the reasons for it not working could be because that card is as old as from 2003 if not more. There's a gap of almost 8 years here, so it might not be able to run Feralheart properly.

Why you aren't finding programs and functions is probably because you're using XP and not vista/7. I think you need to navigate slightly different in the control panel to find it. Instead of programs and functions, try to find "Add or Remove Programs." instead. It should be the same thing.

I'm not sure it would work if you did though, cause I think someone else using the same series of that card having a lot of problems, but also the game being all red green and blue once it did work.

I liked it so much, that I tried it on another computer, it does the same thing :/ and this computer is different from others I have seen... when I boot it up it comes to something called: Ubuntu" Cyber Power Gaming Development. I don't know much about it but it doesn't even let me play it eitherO.o

Post by: NyanPython on October 23, 2011, 12:35:25 am: I'm at the part where I am finding out what my graphic card type is, and it isn't an AMI ATI or a Vvidia (Or whatever those were called) In fact, I don't know what it is. It says PNP Device ID or something, and I'm really confused but my graphical FH glitches aren't going away and I really need help! :-[ :-\ >:( :( :'( :'( :'( :'(

Post by: Redlinelies on October 23, 2011, 12:43:27 am: You really sure you followed the tut correctly, Dxdiag should tell you the name of the card.

If it doesn't even give out a name as that one I'm not even sure the tut serves much purpose.

Post by: Redlinelies on October 28, 2011, 05:50:51 am: Is it black as in EVERYTHING except the players or is it everything as in the ground and objects?

Thing is, if it's everything around you, and there's no sky, no ground, no nothing, just people running around. Then I'd actually suggest you to download the game+ the patch via torrent. Uninstall the current game you have, and then reinstall with the working ones.

If that fails I'd suggest you to take a look here.
http://feral-heart.com/index.php?option=com_jfusion&Itemid=2&jfile=index.php&topic=10423.msg144821#msg144821 (http://feral-heart.com/index.php?option=com_jfusion&Itemid=2&jfile=index.php&topic=10423.msg144821#msg144821)

Go into the options menu and try changing the rendering submode to Direct3D9. Restart the game, and see if there's any changes.

It all depends on how the game looks when you try to play it.

Post by: Straawbreeebree on October 30, 2011, 12:12:06 am: I'm having troubles as far as I can't uninstall the ATI Display Driver, it always come up with a little box that says 'Error Initializing.' and only gives me the option to say 'Ok'. How do I fix this? xD Sorry to be a pain if I am~

It would be nice if you could go step by step since I'm not too familiar with this kind of stuff as well xD Many thanks. c:

Post by: Redlinelies on October 30, 2011, 04:47:48 am: If the first post is not a step by step guide, then I'm not sure how I'd be able to explain any better xD

Could you possibly find which card you have?
Title: Re: (PROBLEM WITH VISUALS?) Updating your graphic cards drivers!
Post by: Kurt-Hummel on February 10, 2012, 10:03:18 pm: for that graphic card thing, i can't find it, i found the system type but i can't find the graphic card and wont be able to play the game without it... (the background is completely black)

Post by: Saphie on March 23, 2012, 10:49:57 pm: Im not sure if this is the right place to post this but, when I tried to run FH, it brought me to that screen where you can select the OpenGL or the Direct3D9, but OpenGL is the only option, and whenever I select that option and FH suddenly send me the message "Feral Heart has stopped working" and FH just shuts down. Can you help me fix this?

Scroll down to where it says "How to fix it". Wouldn't hurt checking around in general in that thread.

Post by: Saphie on March 24, 2012, 04:38:22 am: Ok, i followed everything it said to do, it thankfully fixed problem I had earlier, but now everything is black, yes, I have read everything I could over that problem, since nothing worked, should I just buy a newer computer?
Title: Re: (PROBLEM WITH VISUALS?) Updating your graphic cards drivers!
Post by: Redlinelies on March 24, 2012, 05:30:46 am: Try resetting your home and then go home from within the game.

If that doesn't change anything do a clean install of the game, remove the folder

C:\FeralHeart

Then install the game again with a new downloaded game setup.

Post by: LunarEclipse24 on June 02, 2012, 04:16:26 am: I need help! Now red I want to promise you that it is nothing wrong with your tutorial it's just my computer is so old! Well I have a Toshiba M105 and it runs windows XP 2003. The graphics card is an Intel(R) and i believe that they do not support me anymore :-\ just MY luck. What should I do? Is it possible there is another fix for my problem? When ever I open FeralHeart it loads normally and stuff but the water reflection does not work, and the ground is always the african grass looking texture :'(. I have had it work before a few times and I don't know what happened when it didn't do it. I have tried re-installing a few times and have tried FeralHeart+ is it possible I need to patch it? Please answer as soon as you can! What can I do!
Title: Re: (PROBLEM WITH VISUALS?) Updating your graphic cards drivers!
Post by: Redlinelies on June 02, 2012, 08:50:58 am: I doubt it's the patch in this case.

It's most likely your hardware or drivers for them that are missing.

Could you get the full name of your computer, for example "toshiba m105-s3041" but also the bit version of your xp, if it's 32 bit or 64.

It is a Toshiba M105-S3041 and my graphics card is a 32bit

I hope that helped a little! I am so sorry to cause problems. I could just wait untill my dad get me a new one in 5 months if there is nothing you know of.
Title: Re: (PROBLEM WITH VISUALS?) Updating your graphic cards drivers!
Post by: Redlinelies on June 02, 2012, 03:00:38 pm: Your graphics card? I want to know the OS(operating system) bit in this case since it needs to be the correct information.

What is your OS bit, and is really the exactly same full name as the one I posted as an example?
Title: Re: (PROBLEM WITH VISUALS?) Updating your graphic cards drivers!
Post by: LunarEclipse24 on June 02, 2012, 03:15:31 pm: Yes it really is you can read minds! XD I flipped my laptop over and the thing had M105-S3041 but it has satellite in front of it. I didn't notice that before but does that matter much? My laptop has a 32bit operating system it says "System Type X86-based PC" is that right? Sorry I am not the best at this stuff :( I am good when it comes to some things just not when it comes down to the actual computer
Title: Re: (PROBLEM WITH VISUALS?) Updating your graphic cards drivers!
Post by: Redlinelies on June 02, 2012, 03:31:19 pm: All I could find was a display driver from 09 which is about 3 years behind, it might be that there's no new driver support for your computer model.

http://support1.toshiba-tro.de/tedd-files2/0/display-20080903143213.zip (http://support1.toshiba-tro.de/tedd-files2/0/display-20080903143213.zip)

Is the latest display driver given out towards your model, though it might not work. You are free to try to download and install that one if you please, but do so at your own risk. Chances are the problem will still remain or that it tells you the download is not supported or something. Fun how it has the satellite name when the backside tells us it's not.

Download this
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=35 (http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=35)

First and install it before even trying the display driver though. Might be the directX in your case.

Please help :( I would love to play Feral Heart+ but cant play with it all being black
Title: Re: (PROBLEM WITH VISUALS?) Updating your graphic cards drivers!
Post by: Redlinelies on August 15, 2012, 07:43:09 am: FH+ being black has nothing to do with your hardware to do if regular FeralHeart runs fine, it's the mod itself that's faulty. There's tutorials in this section explaining how to get it to work I believe. I'd advise you to stick to the real FeralHeart though.

Post by: wolfrock112 on June 28, 2016, 10:51:55 pm: So, apparently my computer can download driver updates on its own... But it only downloads the important ones. I am watching a YouTube video where a guy just went to Windows Updates and just installed the new drivers from there. (not sure if they are the ones I need, though) However, I don't know if I need to remove the old ones first before downloading those or not.
I'm really sorry if no one knows what I'm talking about on this. I don't either, honestly. But the thing is, is my computer won't let me download the drivers from the link. An error message saying 'Failed- Download Error' So I don't really know what to do. If it helps, I can tell you that my computer is a 64-bit and uses NVidia and its a Windows 7. so, I hope someone can help. It seems to actually work before the update (which the screen used to spazz out with that too) Then suddenly I opened it one day and it was fine to my surprise. Then I downloaded the update and had the same problem. Hope someone can help, sorry for making this confusing if I did. XD
