Help please!

Post by OhhPaigey »

Hi there, I found this game on Steam, I voted yes and seen it was out already so I went to try it out, got out of the tutorial place after killing maggot thingys, and this happens to my screen: http://i.imgur.com/1lg7ZQM.png

Any ideas on how to fix this? :P Thanks!

Looks like updates didn't complete or your client is just acting weird. Restarting the client and letting the updates complete might help.
The secret to getting all the important stuff done is doing nothing.

Thanks! I have restarted the client a few times, and tried changing some options, but nothing worked. Maybe restarting my PC will work?

When it is all green, press it one more time and it will be back to normal

the F key is to test when we create or debug maps

hmm.. this is not normal at all

Please try these steps (if it doesn't work, proceed to the next step)
  • restart manaplus
  • write /cleangraphics in the chat bar and press enter, then restart manaplus
  • since you are on windows, the cached data is in LocalAppData so open windows explorer, type %LocalAppData% in the navigation bar and delete the folder "mana" and "manaplus" then restart manaplus
  • uninstall manaplus and re-install. make sure to use the official installer from the official manaplus website

If it still doesn't work after that, write /uploadconfig in the chat bar and a link will appear (it will say "config uploaded to: [link]")
paste the link here

try this:
Open the Setup window, go to the "Video" tab (the first tab) and there will be a list of screen resolutions; under this is written OpenGL
Change this setting to Software instead of OpenGL and restart.
