Missing graphics in PC version

Post by Sickboy »

Hi, all. Just tried to revisit the game on Steam (via my ageing Windows 10 PC) and the power-ups don't appear.

Is there anything I can do to fix this? Don't remember it being a problem with I played the game on the same PC a year or so ago. Thanks!

Hey nice to see your face.

I've never had the problem but recall reading about it.

Thanks, man. And I'll try that remove-the-Atari thing. :)

Damn. I renamed the Atari.mp4 and the intro video now doesn't show up, but I'm still not seeing the power-ups. :(

Can anyone help with this? The game itself runs perfectly well.

Iirc this a problem with certain onboard? videocards. If you have an additional Nvidia/Ati videocard make sure the game uses that one.

Just a standard videocard. No Nvidia.

Then that's probably the problem. Make sure the video drivers are up to date and if that doesn't help post the exact type you have here. Don't expect a fix, just know when you upgrade your pc you'll be able to fully enjoy the game.

Reinstall won't help, only a new videocard would :lol:

Hey, Giles. :)

This is my PC. Totally standard, no extra graphics card or whatever. Is there anything I could tweak so I can see the power-ups? Thanks.

So if it worked fine on the same PC previously, why are some comments telling you to upgrade your PC/graphics card? :?
