Issues with playing rift!

[Akneeland]

Having an issue playing rift. The video isnt working properly. Right when i logged in for the first time, there were no visible objects or floors. All i could see was the sky and npcs. Posted SS with this thread

No SS visible, probably because this is your first post on the forum sadly.

Perhaps, just perhaps, you should post this elsewhere. Perhaps RIFT's forum. You know, the forum populated by all of their players, their devs, etc. not on a WoW fansite.

On a slightly more friendly note, did you try and restart your computer then try again?

[Akneeland]

Damn thats too bad..
Well ill try and describe it.
No floors/walls or defined objects
Instead of floors you just see a lava red color in the distance

Perhaps, just perhaps, you shouldn't post with that sort of hostility. >>

@OP: Have you removed the old drivers and updated to new drivers? What videocard are you using by the way?

Honestly I know nothing when it comes to computers. So im not sure how to check which video card, and I tried to update the video driver but dont think i was successful.

Read the FAQ. This site is named MMO-Champion, and is a fan-site dedicated to World of Warcraft.

True, but this is the computer forum. So far as I'm concerned this thread's legit. :U

Ah, well of course anything related to computer issues and questions belong here I reckon. I was speaking more in general.

Have you seen the "Off-Topic" part of the forum?
Obviously not..

There might be something corrupt in the install. I believe there is a way to repair the game itself, you might want to try that. If messing with your drivers doesn't help.

I had an issue with that when I had either AA or AF enabled. Can't really remember what fixed it, vga driver or a patch... Either way, it's gone now. But try to change your AA and AF settings in-game.

(As I'm writing this I'm getting a feeling that it might have been an issue caused by Catalyst Control Centre (Control panel for ATI graphics card) trying to override in-game settings.)

NVIDIA GeForce GT 430
Thats the video card... i think?

Would you mind reminding me what AA and AF stand for? I know nothing of computers. thanks

Fixed it!!

Kinda messing around with video settings.
And when I unchecked 'Low Quality Renderer' and restarted game. Everything was fine.
Just out of curiousity.. If thats what I had to do, what was wrong?
