Issues fixed
Patches
- Latest official patch v1.11.1462 and Bonus Pack: Yesterhaven are available at soggi.org.
Flickering screen
Flickering screen[citation needed] |
---|
This fix has only been tested on the Steam version. Some users have complained about the screen flickering on Windows 7. A quick fix is to press the Windows button on the keyboard to minimize the game. Upon maximizing, the flickering stops (Changing between the main menu and the campaign/multi-player will require you to do this again). |
Menu glitches
Menu glitches[citation needed] |
---|
Sometimes the game's menu stops responding, doesn't see saved games, gives "There are no maps currently available" error, shows visual glitches on character creation screen. This may happen regardless of how many times the game ran correctly. Installing the game in the default folder and turning off gameplay-tracking programs (ex. X-Fire, Raptr, Steam) may fix these issues. |
Low frame rate in fullscreen mode
Use bltonly parameter[2] |

|
Fairies/Pixies can cause missing terrain and crashes
- If a fairy or pixie restores a character's health or mana, the player may soon encounter missing terrain and crashes in certain circumstances.
