The Suffering 'Missing Graphix" problems

[Alien Firefox]

arrr yes im very themilia with that issue

what that is is a conflict it has with directx

some games intend to do something to direct x


the suffering 2 ties that bind is one of these.

now dont bother contacting surreal because they'll just tell you basically that they dont support the game and never contact them again about it.

but anyways

there is one way to fix it that i know of and its abit of a disaster really. and i really wouldn't bother but anyways heres how.


format your computer
resinstall windows xp and the sp2 if you have it

then install your computer drivers video card drivers and sound card drivers and everything as normal.


but heres the trick

install the suffering before you install any other game so install it first.

and it will work perfectly.

what the problem is that sometimes with the riot engine it has a problem collecting some of the information it needs from directx 9 and therefore causes you to get transparent textures.

as far as i know its due to other games.


so just do as i said above and then after you have installed the suffering run it and set it up like resolution and all.

then you can install all your other games.

sorry mate

told you it would suck

Re-installing the operating system, only to make a game work, is a bit brutal, don't you think?

i did say that mate

but its the only way i know of to get the game to work

The PC that I'm playing these games on has been reformated 2 weeks before I installed them.
