Little graphics problem

Postby Ragrann family on Wed Jun 02, 2004 8:55 am

Been away from wod for about couple months. Now decided to install the game again and see if any of my old friends play. Got into and played the game yesterday without no problem at all.
I remember I made some graphic setting changes in the options to get into full screen but it worked just well back then.

Now when I start the game it looks like that. I can "draw" with my mouse and under the grey is, like you see, the login page. I have tried to take all the grey out with my mouse :lol: but it's all back when I am in the select shard page.

If you have any ideas what might cause this and how to solve this, please tell them. Thank you :)

Try setting all of your graphics options back to default.

If that doesn't work, reinstall the software. (The UO Software)

The last step would be to look for updates in device drivers. And if their are no updates, reinstall the drivers that you currently have.

There is likely either a file that's been corrupted, changed, or is missing... Or there is a second or third party program that is interfereing.

Have you installed any new programs lately? Try uninstalling them and reinstalling UO to see if the problem gets fixed.

Heh Im pretty sure I know EXACTLY what your problem is, myself and Sevin both had it and when you were setting up your options, the ones through paper doll you clicked a box you shouldnt have. What you have to do, and its a pain in the butt (unless theres an ultima.cfg file someplace you can change instead, I dont know) You have have to mouse over the login screen so you can see it, type in your info even though it doesnt show up its there! then hit the login screen. Then mouse over the screen again and the game will show. Then get your paper doll open, mouse over again till shown, hit the options button repeat mouse over, hit the tab that looks like an eye, 2nd down on the right, repeat mouse over, unclick the boxs that say Use GDI in full screen mode and use full screen display and then hit the apply button, then log out then back in. I know its not both of those boxes that give the grey problem but I have gotten graphical problems with both so I just advise not to have either checked! I Hope this will fix your problem.

Thank you Cindy and Azalin4savioR. Got the problem solved first by defaulting everything as Cindy said and tested it today was it about the GDI in fullscreen as Azalin4savioR said. And it was, stupid me :D .

Thank you both very much again :P
