    Normally I wouldn't have a problem. But after the update came (which is amazing btw)
    the graphics started acting up.

    I played KAG on a different computer earlier today, and it looked fine.

    Also, while in game it's only the knight that's messed up. I've already uninstalled and then re-installed on three different occasions. Any idea how I would fix this?

    This is a non 2^n resolution problem.

    If you can, update your graphics drivers. If not you'll have to manually pad your images so that their resolution in each direction is a value equal to 2^n where n is any non-negative integer and ^ is the "to the power of" operator not XOR.

    Sorry for the bump. But I've updated my drivers, and nothing's changed. and it's not a problem with the resolution because everything looks fine except for the knights, buildings, and catapults.

    I also know that there weren't any problems with it until the update, and when playing it on Vista it's fine. Could the update have made it incompatible with XP for some reason?

    This should've been partly fixed in the most recent update - it's a non-2^n issue where old hardware craps out with images that aren't of certain dimensions. We'll work on getting autopadding implemented to fix it once and for all but it should be fixed for almost everything in-game now.

    i have the same problem, but with almost all sprites, which makes whole game ugly. im using radeon 9550, so it certainly is old hardware

    norill update your graphics drivers and see if that helps, your openGL could be borked/drastically outdated.

    If you're running it off a laptop, you should use drivers provided from the laptop company as opposed to drivers directly from the graphics card makers (i.e. AMD). I had this problem when I recently got a new laptop - the resolution was all fucked and the game was running really slow. I FINALLY found the most recent driver made by HP for my AMD 6770M (theyre bloody hard to find), and everything is working swell.

    did you mean knightMale and knightMaleRed? blue knight sprite is 32x1024 which is 2^n but red one is 32x960 and it is seriously fucked up. i mean he looks like his face is morphing. so it most certainly is a non-2^n issue

    The red one isn't used at the moment - it still has heads. We're dynamically recolouring the sprites in memory.

    it will always do that at non-native resolutions because we do not want to give players with larger monitors a larger view of the play field.
