All the graphics are displaying fine for me except for monsters, vendors' bodies, player/NPC bodies (heads and weapons are fine), those little bird thingies in Haven, and explosive boxes. All appear as a flat colour, which varies between white, blue and brown depending on what level i'm on.
I've tried updating java and fiddling with my graphics card settings but no dice.
Any ideas what could be causing this and how i could fix it? It's such a beautiful game and I hate to be missing parts of it.
Windows XP Pro SP2
ATI Mobility Radeon HD 2600
Java version 6 update 21
edit: also the 'missing' graphics display fine in other places, such as the character/equipment screen and the NPC picture in the bottom left corner during dialogue.
Okay so this problem is still here, and I've been juggling java versions and graphics driver versions ever since, and now i have a new problem: the game just won't start.
javaw.exe appears in the task manager list for about a second and then just disappears.
If I delete something, the installer comes up, reinstalls the missing files, and then tries to run the game, and the same thing happens.
I can get around it: if I open the website where you go to download the game, that makes it run!
What on earth is wrong with my computer.
