Greetings Istarians!
Been trying to track down an old problem but unable to reproduce
Is anyone experiencing either of the below problems
1. In Item creation, weapon appearance customization, the preview animation is missing
2. Missing text in stone road signs
The item preview is missing for me in the weapon customization window. The selectors for 1/2, 2/2 etc are there.
For some weapons changing these will change appearance of crafted item, for others it makes no effect.
The item has to be crated and equipped to see what the appearance will be.
I have both problems:
1. Preview animation is missing for me
2. I can't see text on stone road sings

For me it seems to be with all my computers with Nvidia graphics. Just a suggestion to look at.
Back when I was afflicted, I had some success by changing the graphics card settings that related to textures. Not the Istaria in-game settings, but the graphics card control panel in windows. (AMD Vision Engine Control center, Nvidia Control Panel)
Settings like Anti-aliasing, Anisotropic Filtering, Mipmaps, etc. I had to choose something along the lines of "let this game decide the settings" instead of manually choosing and overriding.
been running on an intel lately, and it seems both the preview and the road signs work on it.
however, back when my NVIDIA card wasn't dead, both of them would not load for me.
I use a NVidia gfx card.
I run Nvidia card as well.
Can you guys get this fixed? Or at least figure out the settings we need to set to make it work? Maybe submit the profile to nvidia for inclusion in the drivers. (assuming that is all it takes to fix it)
Could anyone who is experiencing this problem, please open a support ticket.
Thank you.
Does the following work for those of you who use the nvidia graphics card
1. nvidia control panel in Windows Control Panel
2. 3d settings.
3. Adjust image setting with preview
4. Select 'Let the 3D application decide'
Or
2. Manage 3D settings
3. Program settings
Didn't help.Quote:

Forum needs to allow more than a single image upload per post. 2 or 3 maybe.

I play the game in windowed mode, maximized.
Maybe the Granny 3d engine needs updated. I know there was a newer version out years ago of some of the dll's, that had 3d support. But no idea if they could be incorporated into Horizons without needing a bunch of work on textures, models, etc.
Here is a closed thread giving some early history on this topic: http://community.istaria.com/forum/s...-and-Windows-7
As an update to post 32 on page 2 of the above thread, my AMD/ATI video card is running with default Catalyst Control Center gaming 3d graphics settings and on Win 7x64 OS I do see weapons tricking, stone road sign legends, item previews etc. While I do use the loading screen the current situation is that all stuff works now with loading screen off.
Knossos
It would appear when it started working again for Knossos, it was only for users with AMD/ATI video cards. Still no go for Nvidia users. Hope they can fix this.
Item preview in a linked items description window, missing.
Item preview in the weapon tricking window, blank.
Road signs I haven't looked at one lately, but will check.
Rotating items in the construction planning window, works.
Nvidia gtx680 with newest drivers set to application controlled settings.
Perhaps someone with Vitrium could work with someone at nvidia to at least nail down the proper settings, and then nvidia could add the application profile to their drivers, assuming it is just a settings issue. Could still be a client issue. Dev's mentioned in the other thread that they could not re-produce the issue. Tried with an nvidia video card?
As additional info for post #13 above, I also have an AMD CPU which may augment the AMD/ATI Video Card behavior.
Knossos
Item preview (when viewing item details, such as clicking a linked piece of gear) works for items that do not rotate, such as a tech kit like battle forged, or a scale, or claw.
Item previews for biped weapons do not work. Those are supposed to rotate in the preview/details window.
The issues we have seem to be tied to items that usually rotate.
It may be worth noting that you do see items rotating in item selection for the Construction Planning screen.Quote:

The weapon preview thing used to work for me years ago. I can't remember that last time it has worked. The only thing that I can recall that changed, was back then I was using a crappy computer with Geforce MX/400 (old) 64Mb, it all worked. Came back with Geforce 8400 GS. So when I had a video card that had no fan and no memory, road signs and weapon preview worked (5 years ago). When I came back with the new computer, never has worked.
And when I came back with the newer stuff, originally had WinXp 32bit, eventually switched to Win7 64 bit, both didn't work with the newer stuff.
This issue have been known for years. I first wrote tyo the support team about this issue back in 2007ish
most item tricking view is broken, since intro of win 7. my xp copy works fine. since I installed win7, it no longer loads. some folks have no problems seeing tricking pics in win7, others do. I'm guessing it's a vid card issue, or just not 100% compatible with all win 7 versions
Hmm running Vista on an older computer with the built in Intel graphics card and now running Windows 7 again with updated Nvidia. On both computers, the road signs are in glyphs, so can't see where I'm going.

This is how all of the signs look for me. Is there any solution to this problem?
The preview for the wolf hide blade (made via the reward recipe from the Lone wolf quest in trismus) is missing: Wolf Killer's Short Sword is the name of the item.
Also, as a side note, the quest is level 7-8 or so at least, and the reward sword is in no way magical or exceptional from its look, worse than most level 5 gear, it could probably use some retuning to be useful.
Hi,
Could anyone still experiencing either of these issues please open a support ticket.
Thank you.
I still see nothing, the window of the weapon tricking is blank. Ticket submitted.
May check your video options if the distance view bar is set to low it didnt show for me, but when i put distance view up abit it seems to show the tool, weapon and shield previews in appearence and item detail window.
Im using gfx board NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 Ti.
