I think I figured out why I have no water reflection.
« on: April 23, 2012, 11:26:36 pm »
I was reading over the water material and it says the texture is waves.dds
I have no files with the extension .dds
If anyone has these files, could you please email them to me?
I'd really appreciate it C:

Reinstalling should fix that problem for you. I'll edit with an download though if it doesn't.

Have you gone into the menu and had a look at if the water reflection box is ticked or not?

Also instead of re-installing to the default location, try a re-installation to a new location, so instead of C/Feralheart install it to c/FH

Waves2.dds is also located in "Textures" I believe

I've reinstalled multiple times. I can't get the original files back. Even when I check the box, it doesn't show up.

Have you reinstalled to a new location? Not the same spot you downloaded it before

Did you manually delete all the old FH files before installing again?

I just reinstalled it to a different location. It is restored to its original settings. Now hopefully I won't have anymore problems. Thank you. :D

It's still not working. The sky is still messed up and there's no reflection. :C

Something to keep in mind when re-installing because of issues like this is that you do it with another installer as well. The issue could come from a broken installer that doesn't install all the files required.

If you do download another installer and notice that the missing files do show up in the folders but you still don't seem to get the game to work properly you might would want to check so your directX is up to date along with C++ libraries but also checking if different rendering modes do any visual changes to the game and if another runs better than the other. Updating video drivers is also something optional to try.

Though just reinstalling the game with a working installer should cut it in most cases.

I've checked over everything. I have all the files. Everything is where it's supposed to be, but the sky and refection refuse to work. I don't understand. :\
