Distorted Graphics
Question
I have distorted graphics when I try to play the game.
Answer
These issues can be caused by a number of reasons. If your video
card does not meet the minimum system requirements for Lineage II
then you may have problems with graphics in the game being distorted
or not appearing correctly. The minimum video card requirement for
Lineage II is an NVIDIAŽ GeForce 2 or ATI™ RadeonŽ 7500 series video
card. If you use a card that is lower in specification than the
cards listed above, we cannot guarantee that the game will run
correctly. Another common cause of video problems is old drivers.
The latest drivers for ATI cards in desktop computers can be found
here. Drivers for desktop NVIDIA cards are here.
If you use a laptop computer, you will need to contact your laptop
manufacturer to obtain the latest updates for your card.
If updating the drivers does not resolve the issue then try lowering
the graphics options in the game. Launch Lineage II, then click on
Options. From here you can try various things like lowering the
resolution or turning off shadows. Experiment with the options to
see if any settings resolve your issues.
Some issues may be caused by having your AGP Speed setting at 8x.
Please check the properties of your video card and change the AGP
Speed setting from 8x to 4x. Also make sure you have the latest
versions of DirectX installed.
If the above doesn't work try un-installing and re-installing the
game completely. Then run a scandisk and defrag. If the issues
continue after this please contact Technical Support using the Ask a
Question tab.
