Known Hardware/Driver Issues

This thread is to describe know issues with certain drivers / hardware configurations and suggest work-arounds for affected users. We will attempt to resolve issues in a timely manner, but please be patient as there is a lot more hardware out there than we have developers to fix the issues.
This thread is limited to actual in-game issues. Launcher bugs have another thread.

    When playing full screen on the Ati Radeon 4800 series cards, an inventory glitch can occur where the studded leather, spears and certain heltmets disappear from the cursor when picked up. If you play in a window instead of full screen this issue disappears.

    Performance on older integrated intel chipsets. There are a number of performance issues on older intel chipsets. In many cases we have done all we can and the issue comes down to very limited Open GL driver support. The feedback directly from Intel is for us to pursue a Direct X version of the game. Based on this feedback, we are attempting to plan accordingly.

    Older as in GMA4500?

    @hummer010 your mileage may vary, but we had reports from someone with a GMA4500 MHD that performance was affected. I'll be making a post soon with more information here.

    I'll be alright :) I was planning on playing on a GMA4500MHD, but since doing the preorder, I picked up a new laptop (I've now got Sandy Bridge graphics with a Geforce GT540M switchable setup).

    I was really just posting to figure out what "older" meant for others. Thank you for the clarification.

    One thing with Geforce graphics cards on laptops, sometimes they don't detect when they're actually needed, so you may have to go into your graphics card menu and set it to use BGEE.

    Though if you have a new laptop, the intel card in it should run BGEE (but may be slower).

    I have a Dell XPS M1530, running on W7 64.
    - Intel c2duo T9300 (2,5Ghz)
    - Geforce 8600GT M

    I experience multiple graphical issues, with a flickering trailer, strings of characters appearing on the menu and buttons (gender), orange screen, diagonal bars and finally a sudden crash during the character creation.

    I’m playing on 1920x1200 and spell icons in spell book are almost unreadable because of the size. It seems as they will work on 800x600 or so, but not with high res. I'm not sure if it is actually “OK”, or is it a bug or setup issue?

    My cursor disappears when I manipulate certain objects in the inventory screen. So far studded leather armour and arrows.
  • kamuizinkamuizin Member Posts: 3,704
    Ok, i solved my own problem, i downloaded the OpenAL23.dll and just throw a copy of it on my C:\Windows\System32 and my C:\Windows\SysWOW64 directories. That solved the .dll issue, but now i receive the following message:

    "You have signed out of BeamDog Player. Please sign in and try out"

    Followed by:

    "Aplication error"
    "Aplication corrupt".

    I'm using a netbook: Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 3150, Intel Atom CPU N455 @1.66GHz, 1 GB RAM, Windows 7 SP1.

    Thanks in advance ;)

    WIndows 7 64bit with a Nvidia GTX 660ti, had the flickering problem which was solved by changing the vsync/triple buffer options in the control panel, currently having a problem where the game crashes instead of quits when selecting quit.

    Click the Start Button and it never loads. Click the icon and it never loads. It shows it processing for a moment and it just stops... Interesting.

    Windows 7 - 64Bit
    AMD Radeon HD 6900
    Intel Core i7 x990 3.47 Ghz

    I lost my cursor in the inventory on my nvidia 450 series as well. Window mode fixed it, but now edge scrolling is a pain and i have to keep both arms to the right as i use my mouse and arrow keys. I really hope this is easily fixable,since it gets uncomfortable lol.

    It's unplayable this way.

    Leather armor and helmets too, have to kill it and restart each time.
    And if possible it would be great that ESC while in game would show the Menu/options.
    Still compared to others here I feel lucky because I'am playing it and its running great.

    I've 20/20 vision and I'm finding it next to unplayable on anything but 800x600 due to eye strain and not being able to read the sum of items in my inventory. I really wise the text size could be increased. Oh well.

    I'm having the same error as kamuizin. I know I'm signed in @ beamdog as well as here.

    In surround/eyefinity configurations the screen doesn't scale properly and straddles multiple monitors. Very annoying to not be able to adjust screen resolution.

    I have a problem with flickering graphics in the menu.
    It's almost impossible to read.
    Fixed by playing in windowed mode.
    But I do indeed want to play it in fullscreen.

    Running it on:
    - ATI Radeon 5770
    - AMD Phenom x6 3.2ghz
    - 8.0GB Ram
    - Windows 7 64bit w/ SP1

    Edit:
    my display driver version is 9.2.0.0.
  • BamBam Member Posts: 38
    For the APPCRASH errors, I was getting the same thing. But it worked fine if I ran the game .exe itself instead of loading through the beamdog client.
