Water Reflection and Grass UGLY

[Greek]

Hello, thank you for clicking my topic. It is sometihng I've been dealing with ever since I got Feral Heart.

1.) No Water reflection



No reflection. I've never seen myself or anything else in the water's reflection. I've gone on youtube and seen other people play feral heart. Every map they go to has a reflection. But not mine.

I have gone to 'Options' Then to 'Video' and clicked 'Water Reflection' and clicked in the check box.



But when I log out and go to the home page, I check the options dialog box to make sure the check mark is still set. And guess what I see? The box is not checked. And I KNOW (picture proof) I set the mark.




After I re-check the box in the home page, I log onto my account and go to my char. I arrive back in the Plains and I see the water. No reflection. I go to the 'options' and go to 'video' and see if the box is still checked. And no, it's not.




2.) Dirt-grass

No matter where I go, Plains, Cape, Lonely Cave, or a downloaded map: The grass is always dirt-color.



Dirt color, right? My friend online took a screen shot of what the grass on his computer looks like int he plains. So much better, so much greener, so much more like grass... but mine? Dirt.


What do I do? For the water, I can't keep the box checked, so the game thinks I DON'T want a water reflection. For the 'grass', it always looks like dirt. Please, please try to help me. I exteremly appreciate your time! Thank you.

Reinstall the game with a new downloaded installer just in case it's your copy of the game itself, if the same problem occurs you should try this.

Switch rendering modes and keep in mind you must restart the game.

Download and install DirectX for your computer manually, this can be done by a quick google search and download it from microsofts home site only, just make sure it fits your Operating system/bit

Try downloading C++ Libraries for your computer, this also from Microsofts site, make sure it fits your computer(this should come with windows update though)

Try to update your graphic cards/chip drivers on your computer, either by looking on the manufacturers homesite if you have ATI or Nvidia and download what works for your card and OS. Make sure it's the correct driver!  If you have any updating software for the "hardware" that came with the laptop(if you use that) run it.

You either did something wrong such as installed the programs wrong, didn't download the correct things, being a lazy bum reading and doing, or the simple fact that your computer is not good enough to run feralheart.

I think I may now know the cause of this problem. When I went to change the 'Rendering Subsystem' to 'OpenGL' I had to restart Feralheart. (As usual, if you want to change something as that.)

When I clicked the Feralheart logo (to re-open the game) it immidiely says:



So, I close that out and then re-click the logo. Everything goes smoothly. Right when I get to the page where you enter your Username and password, I go to 'Options' and go to 'Rendering Subsystem' and my computer switched the 'OpenGL' I selected back to 'Direct3D9'.

I am just guessing, but could the problem be my computer cannot start Feralheart without crashing when using 'OpenGL'? If so, why? Is it the age of my computer?

How old is your computer?

And do you have any system specifications such as Operating system and which graphics card it might have.

As Red stated above,it maybe cus your computer is old.Or something of that sort.Or,you download something incorrectly.
