Could you provide a screenshot of what it looks like?

Have you tried reinstalling completely? I mean getting rid of EVERYTHING for FH and then reinstalling? It may just be something wrong with the files.

It may be an issue with your graphics card if not. If you know it's your graphics card, check here: http://www.feral-heart.com/index.php?option=com_jfusion&Itemid=2&jfile=index.php&topic=514.0 (http://www.feral-heart.com/index.php?option=com_jfusion&Itemid=2&jfile=index.php&topic=514.0)

Did you try switching to the Direct3D9 option, my dear?
Options>Video>Rendering Subsystem>Direct3D9.

i cant even read the text in the main menu it's garbled and the buttons look like garbage i can't read anything so i dont know what im pressing and if i was able to press the direct3d option FH wouldn't even start up it would just crash and then ask me to change the rendering options D: I am using FH NOT FH+ everything is garbled and scrambled to bits i can't read a thing it looks like da vinci code garbledness or something there is no detail or real textures everything is a total garbled mess and IM SURE my graphics card meets the requierments cuz i been playing FH for MONTHS without a problem

Then yes, I would suggest deleting everything and just starting again. If it's a new issue and you'd been playing fine before.... I would just suggest clearing out everything and anything FH related and then just reinstalling.

Ah. Hmm. Then I'm not entirely sure... Could you give us a screenshot, or does it not even allow that of you?

There's 2 ways you can change this setting.

How to fix it!
Either you start the game, go into the options menu, click the Video tab, and then change the rendering subsystem and restart the game.

Sometimes you aren't able to even enter the game, and all you can hear is the menu music, or it just crashes directly after launch. Those who experience this can enter the feralheart folder located in C:\FeralHeart at standard, find the file called "Ogre.cfg" and open it with wordpad.

This file works just as the ingame options menu, but instead of buttons and sliders, there's text.

What we're interested in is the top row
(http://i55BannedImageSite/260vkwl.png)

Set the top row text so it is just like in the picture with the text
Code: [Select]
Render System=Direct3D9 Rendering Subsystem
Save the file, and close it. Next time you run the game it should boot with the new settings you applied.

Even though this solves the graphical problems for most, there's still some unlucky ferals out there that the problems still remain for, but there's still 1 more thing you can try, and that is to update your graphic card drivers.

A computer is hardware, and with time it gets old just like any other thing in this world. If you had your computer for a while, and never updated the drivers, this might be the cause for FeralHeart not to work correctly. Installing Drivers for your computer is like installing any other program that it might need, though knowing how to do this might be tricky, so check the tutorial on how to Here! (http://feral-heart.com/index.php?option=com_jfusion&Itemid=2&lang=en&jfile=index.php&topic=514.0)

If you already tried this and it's not working, chances are that your computer is getting old and can't handle the game. Installing drivers might help, but you're still running the same hardware. Try the game on another computer instead.
