I'm not sure if anyone else does have this glitch or somethingarather that has been happening to me for a while, but it is annoying.
[The follow screenshots are just the normal stage of it, it does get a lot worse where the mouse disappears and in character
creations a lot of the scroll bars disappear]
Where my mouse is is what happens when you hover over it.

The slide and the different colours that it is on often disappear, along with the scrolling slides.

Like the one above, the scrolling for the chat box often dissapears.
Additional problems I've encountered:
Mouse disappears, making it difficult to change from General to Local or anything else.
The game spazzes sometimes and causes a large glitch where..well... I don't know how to explain it.

Fixes Tried:
1. Reinstalling the game
2.Reinstalling the game with torrent
3.Downloading the media folder and replacing it.
4.Using fixes on the Big Help Thread.
5.Changing the default skin of FeralHeart to something else.
Specs for my laptop:
Processor: AMD A4-5000 APU with Radeon(TM) HD Graphics 1.50GHz
RAM: 4 GB
System Type: 64-Bit Operation System, x64 based processor
My laptop mostly has good ventilation, but does not have a cooler fan. It's only around 3-4 months old and is a Toshiba.

Seems your missing some textures, not to worry tho c:
You can go here (http://www.feral-heart.com/index.php?option=com_jfusion&Itemid=2&jfile=index.php&topic=44252.0) for them. Just download the 'Media' folder, make sure you back up extra items, markings etc. and replace the folder. They should be there again c:

Thank you, I'll try this inow and report back on what happens!
But, I kind of don't think I'm missing the textures seeing this happens a little while [20-40 minutes] after opening the game, and restarting the game will fix it, but it does get annoying.
It could just be that, so I'll report back soon.

Well, you should check the big help thread if nothing helps :I
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)
here you will find many solutions for your problem.
Game is not starting or having graphical issues/glitches.
FeralHeart is a game like so many others out there, it needs a computer to do all the work so you can play it. Not everyone can just install the game and it works all perfect for them. Sometimes the computer might even be really old and the game too new. But if you got a computer from the last 5 years, playing this game shouldn't be any problem at all.
The ogre errors!
The ogre errors is something that users can get either when trying to boot up the game or when entering a custom map. These errors come directly from the game, and even though the error messages might look a lil messy, most of the time they actually clearly shows where the problem is. Ogre errors can also come up from broken installers that doesn't install all the files needed to run the game, and in these cases "The magical fix" usually solves this. Uninstall>re-download>Install with new installers.
An example of an ogre error below:
(http://oi51BannedImageSite/xc1t3.jpg)
That one is pretty much straight out saying that the following file "Gui Template/Reminder" Is missing. And in this case, if something is missing, an uninstall and re-install should do the trick. But there can be other errors like "Items already using the name blabla" or "Failed to create OpenGL rendering". They can vary very much, some are easier to fix than others.'
If you look here http://feral-heart.com/index.php?option=com_jfusion&Itemid=2&jfile=index.php&topic=2296.0 (http://feral-heart.com/index.php?option=com_jfusion&Itemid=2&jfile=index.php&topic=2296.0) , you will find a big list of previous ogre errors, and many of them with a solution. So take a look there. (Thanks to Shell Prisoner for making that thread)
If you still are unable to sort it, feel free to post a help thread.
Graphical glitches and other weird visuals can show up in different ways, and here's some examples of how it might look.

Cut off polygons, weird looking shadows and textures missing.

Distorted pictures and hard to read text
The absolute First thing you want to try is to change the rendering mode for the game. There's different rendering modes you can pick from, usually OpenGL and Direct3D9. This decides which way your graphic card should process the game. This one is at standard set to OpenGL, so we'd want to set it to Direct3D9.
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:
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.
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.
End~

Apologies for not replying sooner.
None of these worked long term, the first one stopped it for a day, and the next one did the same.
I'm still completely confused on why this happens, as it gives me no warning.
-
I think I broke FH now
I also need to just catalouge all the glitches I've been experiencing.
(http://i57BannedImageSite/24pyqu8.png)
-
Woah uh this is new. I never seen something like that. Sweet baby Jesus.
What is your operating system version and how old is your computer?
-
oh my God what is that :O
-Gonna send PM to one of the Staff members, hope they can help more than we can
-
Seems like you need to update the graphics driver, or get a new computer if you can afford it. My notebook (Acer Aspire V5-122P) isn't very demanding but it can run FeralHeart fine without glitches (but there's a bit of lag) since it's a notebook that launched one year ago. Well what kills the notebook is really the processor (AMD Quad-Core Processor A6-1450M (1.0 GHz) god!), the graphics card is great I think.
Perhaps if your computer is a desktop you can buy the parts somewhere, if you can't really update the drivers? I think you will need to update the motherboard too if your graphics card isn't compatible with it. Either way, good luck!
-
Righto, sorry for not replying!
My laptop is probably two months old now? It's windows 8.1
Here's the processor and video card:
Processor AMD A4-5000 APU with Radeon(TM) HD Graphics
Video Card AMD Radeon HD 8330
It's a Toshiba notebook, and seeing it's farely recent I didn't expect it to have trouble with a game like FH, but it's having more trouble than my 14 year old computer :I xD
-
Just so you all know, I still experience these glitches, with one more to add on.
Sometimes my mouse will not show up, even after pushing TAB, and makes it extremely annoying when trying to change from Local to Group.
I have to restart the game to get rid of this.
-
Please do not bump old threads
Locking this.
-
Slowly but surely unlocks thread.
T'is okay to bump an old thread if the bumper is the original creator of said thread. It'll evade yet another help topic bein' made coverin' the same situation. Also, less Vesp is mistaken, this thread hasn't been solved on top of that so all's well here.
-
You are very correct Vespy <3
I was just wondering why this thread was locked. It didn't seem quite right to me. I am not sure if this will help or if it was already suggested, but maybe try uninstalling Feral Heart along with the Feral Heart folder. Then re-install the torrent version using the awesome and helpful Utorrent (http://www.utorrent.com/). If you are taken to Adf.ly then simply wait for the countdown, and then go to the free download. ^^
Once you get that then download the FH torrent, and see if that version of FH works a bit better. ^^
-
Please do not lock this thread, as it has not been solved and I would prefer for it to be solved instead of someone just locking it.
And I have tried reinstalling it, but I will try installing with the torrent version and get back to you on how it goes. If the glitches come back within a week, I will comment on here. But for now, thank you for helping ^_^
-
I've tried your fix, but as soon as I logged on I noticed that the glitch was back. It seems like it has no fix currently ;-;
-
How much RAM do you have in your computer?
-
I have 4 GBs of RAM.
-
Well, that's enough RAM to run the game that's for sure.
Your computer refuses to run the game properly for some odd reason. I know that texture glitches has something to do with the graphics card, but idk. Your computer seems pretty capable of running the game according to what your computer has. There's probably something wrong with your computer internally.
-
I am very sorry that m fix couldn't help chu fluffy. T^T
May you find a solution really soon so that you can enjoy gaming with us really soon.
-
Thank you two for helping and giving suggestions <3
I'm going to try changing the FeralHeart skin, as I've been wanting to do it for a while. If it helps out, I'll tell you guys.
-
Alright then my dear.
I hope that will fix your little problem. If not you always know where to go for possible answers. ^^
-
That one didn't work either D:
I'm open to all suggestions right now.
-
These kinda problems can occur with laptops Rizzo. Sad but true.
Even my powerful laptop which was made for gaming struggles sometimes with certain games including FH.
The problem could be that your laptop is overheating. Do you check to see you laptop doesn't get too hot while using FH? The best way to do that is just feel around with your hand underneath. You may just need to get a laptop cooler fan or something to increase the ventilation so that your laptop can at least run normally when running this game. Have you tried running this game on your old computer?
-
Thank you for the help Raphilion <3 Hearing this news makes me sad, but I'm glad we can atleast run this game and perform somewhat 'normally.'
Checking under my laptop now, it is a normal warm for a laptop that has been running for the last few hours. I don't normally check the heat of the underside of the laptop, but due to fears that overheating could ruin my laptop (I come from a computer-wise family and was instructed on laptop care by one of my many cousins, who also liked to mess with me) , I always make sure I have it propped up with nothing obscuring the fans or anything needed for proper ventilation. My previous laptop, before my currently new one, would unfortunately grow hot very quickly due to problems with the fans and required constant ventilation. I didn't have a cooler fan for this, as they are expensive here, but I found no problems with FeralHeart on that laptop.
I would try to run the game with the newest update on my old computer, but unfortunately last year it died on us. Back when I would run it on the computer, it was slow at first but it didn't hinder my playing of the game and the only problem I had was when I had to reinstall FH for a reason I cannot remember.
-
This problem is most likely a graphics card driver problem since meshes are going even over the GUI, not textures missing nor the installation of the game. I had the same problem before with my Acer laptop and i could never fix it.
When a laptop model is too "new", even updated drivers may come buggy and the only thing you can do its to as for help on Toshiba's tecnical support or the forum and to hope they will do a fix for the next driver update or to find out a workaround. This can take months and sometimes never fixed like it happened with my Acer laptop.
Keep us informed about any fix you may encounter.

I feel like FeralHeart is just messing with me now.

*Text now likes to sometimes overlap each other in the chat box, yay, but shifting the chatbox size around sometimes helps relieve that. So I guess that's a fix for one problem.
