Larian Studios Forums Divine Divinity (English) Technical Problems graphic anomaly with d3d

i installed, applied the patch and started to configure. software and direct draw both work (but at a bad framerate). d3d gives me a black screen in the test and i have to close it manually. if i bypass the test, i get corrupted colours in the whole game (very greenish colours). ive got the latest drivers for my ti4200 and dx8.1. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/div.gif" alt="" />

try software...no alpha-bit...no smoothness...no test...apply and close <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

Hi,

Is the color depth of your desktop set to 16 bit?
If not, please do so.

Also, check out what Jurak wrote, it can help your problem.

Let us know the result.
If these things doesn't help you, we'll look for another solution.

bloody hell...it works now. and with 32 bit desktop :S
weird thing...but i guess it works again cos i reinstalled winxp yesterday.

PS. what does alphabit actually do ?

alpha-bit... just makes sure, all the dialog boxes that come up
are spelled correctly? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ouch.gif" alt="" />
