Odd...
« on: September 01, 2011, 01:04:50 am »
I've been having an issue with FH as of late. I'm not sure if it's my graphic's card, or what-not.
It first started a few days ago when I tried to log in and the game showed up in solid blacks and whites.
It didn't show me a cursor, it wouldn't let me click anything.

I tried un-installing and re-downloading.
That worked for a few hours, before it did the same thing again.
I noticed that for some reason, at one point during the "game", FH would close out due to some sort of error.
When I reopened it, the game restarted under the OpenGL, option automatically, whenever it was originally Direct3D9.

Soooo, I'm a bit confused as how to fix this. Any ideas?
I'm a bit frustrated because I was half-way through with a map, and lost all of that work and data. ^-^;

It's most likely has something to do with the ingame settings or the graphics card itself.

You can swap from different rendering modes inside the Options menu under the video tab.

Direc3D9 is usually the one to work better.

If you change it back to this it should work for you, but if these odd graphical glitches show up again, you should try lowering your ingame settings and see if it does any difference.

If it doesn't, then you should consider installing new drivers for your graphics card if that's possible.

I would switch it back to Direct3D9, but like I said, whenever it glitches like that, it won't let me click on anything.
Thus, I can't select the options to change the settings.
Even in the old window that pops up (the one similar to the old IT load), it only gives me the OpenGL option.

I figured that it was more likely the graphics card, though I was hoping not. XD
Graphic cards don't like me. ^^;

Thank you for the advice, I'll give it a shot. ~

Ah, there we are.
I followed all the steps and got it up and running. There were still a few graphical distortions, but when I looked at my graphic's card, it was outdated. Everything's been fixed, and FH is running wonderfully once again.

Thank you for the help Red. ^^
