There will be a game at 10.06.2007, current time appointed is 17.00 GMT (confirmed).

This is the general topic for discussing the game.

Well, a Vanger from Sweden might come, but I'm not sure if I'll be home at 17:00 GMT tomorrow. But here's to hoping!

In any case, I have at least got the game to run in XP on Parallels on my iMac. Not bad ... The colours are strange though, things are kind of grainy and it doesn't seem like everything is drawn properly. But hey, it runs! Getting it to run better is just a bonus ...

Here's a screenshot of what the game looks like:


Seems to me like it's drawing in a more restricted colour palette than it should. Anyone has any ideas?

[[m]klim]

Ideas about making good screenshot? Press F11.
Ideas about poor coloring in vangers itself? None.

[[W]DaRK ALeX]

Looks interesting. I think noone here have ever seen something like that.
On which machine do you expect to run the game and receive such colour palette?

[bjoreman]

Windows thinks it's installed on a PC with a 2 GHz Core Duo processor, 412 MB of RAM and a 64 MB video card. And it's set to a screen resolution of 1024 by 768 with 32 bit colour. I've installed the latest DirectX, and the DirectX that comes on the Vangers CD tells me that I have a newer version and don't need to install anything.

I wonder if it could be something with video/DirectX settings in any case. I will look around more.

[[W]DaRK ALeX]

Still have no ideas, but you didn't mention exact graphics card model. Maybe you should check video card color settings (as I can remember, for example, ASUS drivers have color correction options like vivid... this might be the problem). Or, if something like that doesn't help, try another driver version...

[Zamorochenniy]

There could be a problem with video card driver - try to use older version.

[bjoreman]

I solved the problem - all that was needed was to alt-tab back to the desktop and put the colour depth back to 32 bit again. I'm ready to game!

[[W]DaRK ALeX]

Great! I'll add this problem and its solution to the FAQ later.
