Cannot Even See The Starting Screen Or It Disappears
« on: April 13, 2012, 05:37:48 am »
So I've been trying for over an hour to get the installations to work. They finally did and I now have the game. But when I open up the game and after it goes past the little box with the data and settings box either I only see a dried grass colored screen and hear the game music and nothing else at all or the game box itself just closes and doesn't re-open. No ogres pop up saying there's an error. I checked the Ogre.cfg and Render Sysetm=Direct3D9 Rendering Subsystem is already there and 100% correct. I have uninstalled and re-installed the game completely 7 times. I already check out the help thread page ( http://www.feral-heart.com/index.php?option=com_jfusion&Itemid=2&jfile=index.php&topic=10423.0 ) and can't find anything to really answer my problem. Someone please help before I go crazy please x.x

Hmmm.
The only thing that I can think of is to change your render method, or play with some of the other options that come up in the options box.
I'm not active peeps. I've moved on it life, so to say, managing a game community with over a million players. I hope you enjoy my maps, meshes, and presets I made in my time here.

I might be on like once every few months, just to check in. But other than that, Bai!

Render method? If you mean the torrent download I've tried the torrent way but it wouldn't work. I did the 50mb or whatever download. I'd prefer not to do the 100+ MB download but I shouldn't have to anyway correct?
And I have played with the other options, still no luck T-T

No no, by Render method I mean choosing the options in the Options Box that appears. One of the options is the render method, OpenGL and another one (which has slipped my mind). Sometimes changing between the two can fix issues that are visual, which it sounds this might be.

I wouldn't think that downloading the other way would have any effect. You might be better to try downloading FH+ as well, and see if that has the same effect.

Another possibility is that your graphics card drivers arre outdated, you can get updates from their websites.

I only have OpenGL Rendering Subsystem as an option, when the box drops down that's the only option there is.

FH+ is a lot of MB..but I'll try it to see if it works.

Well my computer is older but it handles WolfQuest and it's graphics pretty well. I wouldn't think this would be much different.

You can change your rendering system manually by going into the Feral Heart folder. The CFG. file needs to be edited. Just change the script in that file.

I don't advise downloading FH+. If regular FH isn't working for you, there's absolutely no way FH+ will, seeing as in its current state, it requires you switching to the regular Feral Heart to move around characters.

Argh. I'm not at home so I don't exactly remember... Have you at least found the cfg file? Open it up and copy and paste what it says?

There's no actual CFG file, there's a cg.ll file and I tried opening it and the code inside was all crazy so I assume that's not it. If I open the ogre file I get this:

Render System=OpenGL Rendering Subsystem
[OpenGL Rendering Subsystem]
Colour Depth=32
Display Frequency=N/A
FSAA=0
Full Screen=No
RTT Preferred Mode=FBO
VSync=No
VSync Interval=1
Video Mode=800 x 600
sRGB Gamma Conversion=No
[Direct3D9 Rendering Subsystem]
Allow NVPerfHUD=No
FSAA=None
Floating-point mode=Fastest
Full Screen=No
VSync=No
Video Mode=800 x 600 @ 32-bit colour
sRGB Gamma Conversion=No

Do you mean that?

Hmr... I wanna say you change the line where it says

Render System= Open GL Redering Subsystem

to Direct2D9 Rendering Subsystem... I'd honestly feel better if you'd ask Red. I think he's online, you should try PM'ing him.
