Yer exports folder is gone? How troublesome. I have two suggestions ye' could give a try.

1. Go here and select the link that says >>Click - Complete FeralHeart DEFAULT Folder<<. Download the folder provided in said link. Once ye' have the folder, unzip/open it and locate the Exports folder. Drag the folder and place it in yer Local Disk (C:) > FeralHeart folder. All the default maps should be already placed in the Exports folder when ye' first download it so ye' can at least retrieve yer default in-game maps. However any private/downloadable public maps are a different story. Ye' may have to re-download those manually one by one.

2. If the above suggestion fails to fix yer game bein' nothin' but black, take a look at this:

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

Complete black images not showing much at all

Only Red, green and blue colours showing.

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


Set the top row text so it is just like in the picture with the text

Code: [Select]

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.

A computer is hardware, and with time it gets old just like any other thing in this world. If you had your computer for a while, and never updated the drivers, this might be the cause for FeralHeart not to work correctly. Installing Drivers for your computer is like installing any other program that it might need, though knowing how to do this might be tricky, so check the tutorial on how to Here!

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.
