Driver Issue

This was it!

Found a driver dating back to 2015.

Installed it. Now the characters are there!

For your discrete video card not being detected - you want to use:

Ignore the warning about the site - if you research it you'll see it gets whitelisted by the various vendors eventually. Don't forget to edit the ini to remove the watermark it imposes.

As far as your models not loading - that's almost always caused what Videri said and the patch not being applied correctly. Reinstall, and make sure you only replace the files within the various directories and not the directories themselves. Depending on what zip extraction utility you're using it has different options. I use 7-zip and the default "replace" option only replaces files and not the entire directories.

Turned out to be a video driver issue. Loaded an older video driver (5 years old, back when I knew it worked with P99) and sure enough - everything's fine now!

And here I am 3:20am and have to be up for work at 8am!

Best part - this was all because of D&D.

I had made a typo of "Drown Assassin" rather than "Drow Assassin" in my synopsis.

One of my players remarked that a Drowned Assassin would be useless.

Which made me bring up "Drowned Citizens"

So then I wanted to capture a video of Drowned Citizens in Freeport. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
