Graphics Problem

Posted by BillC on 07/13/02 - 11:48:00

I recently downloaded Dink. The game installed, loaded up and started running fine, but about 5 min. into play almost everything on screen goes semi-transparent. The only things left solid are the bottom half of buildings and a few rocks. Is there anything I can do to correct this? have already installed v1.07 patch and tried turning down acceleration, no effect.

Have winME system w/ 1gig athalon, creative live 5.1 soundcard & ATI Radeon 7200 vivo display card w/ newest (catalyst 7.72) driver.

any help would be appreciated. would like to play game but can't very well as is.

Weird, I've never heard of that happening to anyone before.

Your best bet would be to bug Seth Robinson the programmer of Dink Smallwood. Or at the very least, post a message on his message board as he rarely (if ever) checks this one.

Thanks for info. have posted on rtsoft board but no reply yet. Actually I solved my own problem. Turned off directdraw acceleration and that seems to have fixed it. Must be a directx problem. But why?
