This information is outdated. Do not use. If you need assistance please start a new thread.

I've a weird bug about: all the PP is moved on the left side of the screen of few pixels, and is very annoying expecially for the background building, wich seems to drop a shadow over the sky, anybody encountered this?

Have an image you could show us? Maybe your screen isn't configured properly?

You should be able to attach it to the Post here on GWGuru. There is an option to attach files to your posts.

Can you post your machine specs please and the Graphics drivers you are using?

Thanks.

With regards to the piccie, it would appear there is a slight shift in the shading. I think the shading is part of the Fantasy look they give to GW which gives it the soft Fantasy feel that makes it look pretty.

Which graphics card are you running on and which version of its drivers are you using? This is the most important information we could use.

He beat me to it.

KAY T · Jun 04, 2005, 11:21 PM // 23:21

the driver is the latest i guess..

Dirkiess · Jun 04, 2005, 11:28 PM // 23:28

Ok. From this i can't determine what driver version you are running. To find this out,

Right Click your desktop, choose display properties, click settings tab then the Advanced button.
Click on the Options Tab if you have the latest ATI drivers installed.
In there it will tell you the Cat Version and Driver version numbers.

KAY T · Jun 04, 2005, 11:33 PM // 23:33

There you go, sorry for the inconveninces, I must be very stressful

Dirkiess · Jun 04, 2005, 11:38 PM // 23:38

Ok, one thing to try here is getting hold of the Cat 4.11 driver package. You can try and search the ATI Website for these, but not sure where they hold these drivers.

So it's quite possible you may have to try a driver resource website. Not sure of any, as I haven't had to track these down myself. Maybe someone else has an idea of the location of these drivers.

Also, go to www.guru3d.com and located the ATI driver cleaner package. This will help in cleaning out any conflicting files after you install the v4.7 drivers, reboot, run the cleaner, reboot and then install 4.11.

The reason for the 4.11 drivers, is the older 9700pro card. Various people are experiencing issues with the Cat 5 drivers and older 9xxx series ATI cards.

See if this helps to resolve your current issue.

Dirkiess · Jun 04, 2005, 11:39 PM // 23:39

Just checked the Guru3d website. They have the necessary 4.11 drivers there. Just make sure you download the correct drivers for your OS.

Just found the driver cleaner too.

KAY T · Jun 04, 2005, 11:44 PM // 23:44

Im getting a bit confused, which one should i download?

Dirkiess · Jun 04, 2005, 11:47 PM // 23:47

The top one is the location of the ATI Drivers which you require the ATI Cat 4.11 drivers.
The 2nd one is the driver cleaner. You use this, once you have uninstalled you old drivers to clean out an files that didn't get uninstalled the first time. This is run after you reboot once you have done the uninstall.
After you have run the driver cleaner program, you reboot again, and then run the Cat 4.11 drivers install program.

Basically, go to both links and get the required files from those locations.

now I have the catalyst version 5.5 but still nothing...

I wonder why only I do have this problem, and no other player complained about it.. maybe an option to turn on or off?

Any reason why you went with Cat 5.5 and not 4.11 as I suggested?

I know 4.11 is an older driver, but the older ones seem to be a little more stable on the older cards. Cat 5 version drivers don't really bring too much to the 9xxx series cards in the way of features and may cause more problems.

With regards to the current problem, i would now suggest trying to adjust screen settings both ingame and on your desktop.

Do you still get the same problem if you window GW. If so, then adjusting screen and graphics settings, to low, medium or high is one way to find if there is an impact from these settings.

KAY T · Jun 05, 2005, 10:33 AM // 10:33

I've tried many different setting, but still nothing, I will now try the 4.11 and i will also check window mode

KAY T · Jun 05, 2005, 10:45 AM // 10:45

nothing... not even with 4.11
