Dark Messiah big problems

LoneStrider · 10-31-2006, 10:53 PM

i dunno if it helps, but the problem is widely known.

according to some forums, a patch will be released within days. hope that helps.

if you manage to fix it, and experiencing lag/stutter, a workaround is possible by inserting the command mat_picmip 1 into the console (activate with main menu>options>keyboard>advanced)

i bought dark messiah of might & magic the other day, since then i have not been able to run it for more than about 5 minutes, the game crashes to windows with a "Error : Internal driver error in IDirect3DDEVICE9::Present" message. I have an over average performance pc with the latest ati drivers and my directx is also up to date anyone else experiencing any problems!?!?!?

This game has HUGE issues. It's really not a game that was ready for release at all. It's more like a very early beta. This patch they're working on better be huge because this game crashes all the time on me and multiplay is barely playable. Playing on a brand new rig too, so there should be no issues at all. Just a few minutes ago I was playing the game (I'm very near to the end of the game) and had just finished a very tough fight. The game decided to just quit for absolutely no reason. No crashes or error messages. It just closed itself! Made me pretty mad that I now have to fight all those magic undead people again :rant:

To the first poster: do you have the steam version? If so try verifying the cache when you go to the game's properties. Also make sure you have the October release of Directx 9.

I just canceled my order for Dark Mess today because i found out you need to have Steam for MP...now I'm glad it's not the only problem

Yeah, it seems there's a hell of a lot of bugs in the game.
