NoNewTaleToTell:
maybe - i know in heretic the problem is to do with certain bits of scenery and the textures for the models, but as i said, i didnt have the issue with ORB until recently - and ive had that since january

ive just capped a video of the heretic problem for support though - not an easy one to desribe

I was having the same screen artifacts issue and contacted support. Here is the response:

If you go to the game's directory and launch the configure.exe utility you can select to:
Enable w-buffer
Disable lights
That should decrease the amount of artifacts.
This issue is caused by the changes to the drivers made by Intel (other games are also affected, like: Empire Earth, Sacred), unfortunately it seems that the only workaround is downgrading drivers.

I have done what he said it runs perfectly now.

I shall give that a go - thanks!

having just remembered about this, i tried morbo4649's suggestion and whilst it has improved things to where I can see whats going on, the game still has the same problem

Oddly enough I haven't (as far as I know) done a thing to change/update/whatever my drivers since having issues with artifacts but having just launched the game (having forgotten the previous issues) it now actually displays correctly outside of artifacts on the Character Creation screen. Weird.

Excellent recommendation, morbo4649. I had the same artifact issues running this on a Win 8.1 laptop with both an Nvidia GTX750 and an Intel HD for normal desktop mode/energy saving features. I selected to disable lighting, enable the W-Buffer, ran it in windowed mode at 1600x1400 and it works flawlessly now. Thanks for the tips! Maybe that will work for Vampire: The Masquerade - Redemption as well, as I'd had the same issue with that game.

PS: Also noticed that I could disable windowed mode and play it in 1280x1024 full screen without issues. Still get artifacts in the menu in that mode, but game play is fine. So Win 8.1 laptop users with nVidia cards, give either of those a whirl. Full screen 1600x1400 crashes on me for whatever reason. But either method there makes the game plenty playable.

You may need to make 1600x1400 a custom resolution in the Nvidia Control Panel.

genkicolleen: Any input is appreciated!
Just been reminded about this. Reinstalled the game when I was offline and... LO AND BEHOLD THE FLYING SPAGHETTI MONSTERS ARE ALL GONE!!!

So it seems the last driver update I did (about a month ago) sorted it out.

Could also be the fact that Heretic Kingdoms was updated by the devs a couple of months ago :)

Nope - still using the original installer I downloaded - or at least one from... last year!
