Larian Studios Forums Divine Divinity (English) Technical Problems Shield not showing on avatar...

Hello,

I'm having this little problem and am unsure if it's a bug or a slight over sight. When I have a shield equipped and have my weapons sheathed the shield is supposed to be on my charcater's back, at least this is where it is when my character runs around, but it disappears completely when I stand still. Am I encountering a bug here? Great game by the way.

Thanks,
Claws.

You have a one hander or two handed sword? I'mnot sure but if you have a two hander, the shield isnt visible (not even on back).

No no, I have a one hander sword. It shows up fine when I run, it disappears (from his back) when he stands still. Does it show up for you when your character is standing still?

Edit: After further investigation, it seems this problem only occurs when I have certain types of shields. I tried equipping an ordinary wooden shield and it shows up fine, a Rogue's Metal Shield doesn't however. Anyone else experiencing this?

Maybe a problem with one of the graphics / animations?

Try deleting all of the files in the '..\Divine Divinity\Run\Dynamic' folder.
This folder is used as a cache for the game. Files are created / copied there from the save game folder when you load, and written / copied from that folder when you save a game. The files will be re-created as required the next time you start Divinity. If there was a corrupt file in that folder, deleting the files should fix the problem.

Try the file verification (or re-install) method described in;
