Modz Gold Member AlexRyder Posted August 26, 2017 Modz Gold Member Share Posted August 26, 2017 The most likely reason is some shader is not compatible with the video card (probably water, or some environment stuff). Have you tried simple water? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Modz Administrators Nym Posted September 8, 2017 Modz Administrators Share Posted September 8, 2017 Hi Queen Can I ask if 3DX is the only game you have this problem? Also looking at your Intel HD graphics device, it seems that is a very basic video card. How old is your laptop? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modz Gold Member Queen Posted September 8, 2017 Author Modz Gold Member Share Posted September 8, 2017 (edited) Hey Ayon Yes in the only game showing something like that. I keep hearing is my graphic card, i dont have a graphic card. Intel HD graphics refers to the integrate video capabilities of the processor and is a 1rst generation i5 from 2010, still, version 2.0 of the game displays perfectly ok. I would like to know what they changed to see if there is a way around it or something. http://ark.intel.com/products/43537 Edited September 8, 2017 by Queen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Chasan Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 Suggestions - - Device manager and remove the display adapter - Reboot and have it reinstalled - check the version of the driver itself - Make sure you have the latest version of directX - Go to 3DGuru.com and search for the latest drivers for your display adapter Every system has some sort of graphics card, and yours seem to be just a onboard chip. I would go through my lists and just validate Go to google.com and do a search for your display adapter name end the search query with Guru3D Did you look at the requirements on the 3dxchat site? do they match to what is on your system?

Guest Chasan Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 Read closely before downloading to ensure this driver will work for your card... http://www.guru3d.com/files-details/intel-hd-graphics-driver-download-4590.html I would remove the game and the directory contents and start from scratch though. Re-download and run it as a normal user would without any mods or addons to see the effect. Again, all suggestive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Modz Administrators Nym Posted September 11, 2017 Modz Administrators Share Posted September 11, 2017 Master is right, every computer has a graphic card of some form....yours is just part of the laptop as a chip and not a standalone graphic card. Trouble with this is your chip will not be as well supported as a stand alone graphic card like Nivida or Radeon. I think it might be the old Intel HD graphic chip just....well too old. If its a 2010 laptop then the HD graphic chip may just not handle the new 3DXChat graphic. I hate to say it Queen, But I think you need a new Laptop.

Modz Gold Member AlexRyder Posted September 17, 2017 Modz Gold Member Share Posted September 17, 2017 The game should run fine with this PC setup... Dumb question: have you installed the video card drivers and DirectX 9.0c? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Chasan Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 For testing purposes.... Would it be possible to plug in an external monitor? I am wondering if the colors still distort on an external display or not. That video card should support external displays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modz Gold Member AlexRyder Posted September 17, 2017 Modz Gold Member Share Posted September 17, 2017 Wait, so both Shay and Queen have the same issue, right? Queen has a Sony VAIO laptop with an i5 CPU and an integrated Intel HD Graphics card, running Windows 7, while Shay has a Core 2 Duo E6700 desktop with an nVidia 8400GS card, running Windows 10? The hardware is way too different, there may be something common in the software part that is glicthing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex, if I uninstall the game with windows does windows remove all the game data or is there some configuration files that remain that could be causing this issue when the game is reinstalled in the same location?

Modz Gold Member Alliehotass Posted September 18, 2017 Modz Gold Member Share Posted September 18, 2017 Ok have you firstly played around with all the Graphic Settings options in game? I had a frand who was seeing weirdo colors so I ran thru the in game Graphic settings with her and we cleared eet ups. Also double chqs you have tha latest drivers for your Vid Cards/ onboard Graphics and Direct X. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only data (besides the files in the game's folder) the game uses is the registry branch, but it's only used to store in-game settings. You can try clearing it, but I don't think it's in any way relevant, it just stores the settings you can change from the game's UI. Having some weird settings set for the game specifically in the video card settings would be a possibility if it only happened on the desktop machine with the nVidia card. The embedded Intel HD Graphics has pretty much zero useful settings, and those are certainly completely different from nVidia's. I'm honestly out of ideas what it could be without looking at the issue myself. If it's possible to install, say, a temporary clean Windows copy into another location just to test in a clean environment and see if the issue reproduces or not — that would be the way to exclude (or not) the software issues. Probably shouldn't mess with the VAIO's setup though if you don't know what you're doing, it can have a peculiar installation procedure, unless you can just stick in a spare drive for a test.

Modz Administrators Nym Posted September 18, 2017 Modz Administrators Share Posted September 18, 2017 Queen, Did this latest game patch fix the problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Chasan Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 The issue has been resolved... Doing ALOT of testing with Shay, and come to find out her video card was not rendering the graphics because its older technology. Once she ordered a newer video card GDDR5 memory, 4 gig, the game ran flawlessly graphic wise. She can elaborate more, but the rig just would not render unity graphics correctly.
