Weapon tricking animation and Road signs

[skilgannon]

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

[Guaran]

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.

Hi,

Could anyone still experiencing either of these issues please open a support ticket.

Thank you.

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.

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.

[Guaran]

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)

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.

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.

Under the specific 3d application settings, where you have to add istaria.exe to the list, The ones that have an "Application controlled" setting, are all set as such. Still no go.

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.
