Posts from Problem with the puzzle map. Auto-translated

In the second mission of the Dark Elf campaign, you need to find the Grail and build it. After collecting all the obelisks, a blue screen with an image of the Grail in the center appeared in front of me. I still haven't figured out where the map is. What could be the problem? Instead of the map-puzzle, there's just a blue screen!!! :confused:

What do you mean? A completely blue screen? Or is something still visible? If it's the former, it sounds like a bug... Try reinstalling the game, but first copy your save files. Then, load the game and try again.

No... not the whole thing... the map border is there, the Grail is depicted... but under each piece of the puzzle map, it's just a blue piece.

It would be nice to see a screenshot. I also have blue colors for puzzle maps everywhere. However, different, more or less noticeable objects are clearly visible. Therefore, there are no problems.

here is a file with a screenshot.

help please =)

Most likely, your video card can't handle it. Try setting the lowest possible video settings. What version of the game are you using?

I also found all the obelisks in this mission in version 3.0 yesterday. No problems. There were no problems in versions 1.4 and 1.5 either.

And was everything okay in the fifth mission of the first campaign with the puzzle map?

The second option: the game is a pirated copy... :smile28: if that's the case, then it's quite possible that this is the reason...

The game is a licensed version... but the version is actually 1.0!:D

I don't remember about the 5th mission...! If it wasn't necessary to find it, maybe it was there, but I didn't pay attention to it... and if it was necessary, then it wasn't there because I somehow passed it=) I'll check about the graphics... in general, I don't think that if the game runs, then it's just the map that's the problem=) The video card is an FX5200 with 128 MB.

Then it’s most likely due to the video card... although everything displayed correctly for me even on a GeForce 4 MX 440! :D

Version 1.0 has issues with certain types of video cards. These are fixed in the patches. I recommend installing patch 1.4, and then 1.5 on top of that. You can install 1.6 directly on 1.0, but it has glitches that appear when playing through the campaigns. The same glitches are present in version 3.0. However, there is a mod that somewhat fixes these glitches. I will check the effectiveness of this mod soon. In this mission, I only need to defeat the berserker and obtain the Blindness spell for Shadia, and also find the Tear of Ashi. I don't see any problems. In the next mission, thanks to the latest version of this mod, the first demon should go to the first castle instead of the second. Without the mod, it won't go anywhere at all in version 3.0. I didn't have any problems even with the integrated 96MB video card. However, I didn't play versions lower than 1.3. Of course, with the minimum graphics settings. After installing the patch, you need to start the mission again through the campaign menu.

Yesterday, I logged in, and instead of the usual screen, it was black! The settings were already at the minimum... I set them to the maximum, and about a third of the map started flashing with some kind of blue color, and it seemed like something was appearing... but I still couldn't understand anything! :( :smile05:

I used to have an Fx5200 with 128 MB, and I didn't have any problems with it. However, if the drivers are old, there will be strange artifacts in the graphics. It's best to download the latest drivers (if you haven't already), or buy a copy of "Igromania" magazine. I once ran Far Cry on old drivers, and the graphics were terrible.

Thank you very much... everything is okay now! The problem was indeed with the driver... I downloaded everything, and now I can see everything without any issues... THANK YOU EVERYONE!:smile20: :smile20:
