    Hi, I've this problem since the last version (before 262). The game is completely bug, i cannot see nothing on the menu.
    See it :

    [​IMG]

    Did you see how everything is "invisible"?

    My PC configuration:
    • windows XP SP2 32bit
    • Celeron D310 2.4Ghz
    • MOBO GA-8VM800M
    • MEMOs 256mb DDR / 512mb DDR
    • Chip7 VIAP4M800 Pro
    • VGA VIA/S3G UniChrome Pro IGP - ONBOARD

    Oh, i almost forgot to say: My VGA's driver was updated rencetly to the ultimate version available (3 days ago).

    ...and I'm sorry. My english is so bad :(

    That's very odd. Have you tried reinstalling from a fresh download?
    It looks like a rendering issue potentially caused by your.. suboptimal GPU. My first thought would have been buggy drivers, but if you've just updated them... It could also be that your irrlicht.dll hasn't patched correctly, which would be fixed with a fresh download.

    So let me get this straight: Have you ever played KAG on your PC? Quote: " I've this problem since the last version (before 262)" How long before 262?

    Either way, I'm convinced it has to do with your onboard relic of a GPU running out of RAM, seems like you'll have to spend a few reais on a separate AGP GPU :/ - you could find a cheap second hand one if you look in the right places.

    P.S A good diagnostic for GPUs in windows: http://www.techpowerup.com/gpuz/

    I have the same kind of problem but even worse. We have the same GPU and i have 1Gb of RAM (is it enough to run Kag ?). The problem seem to be related to this kind of graphics cards.
    Have you resolved the problem ?
    If not, then the only way seem to be the change of our graphics card.

    Locking this as the issue of S3G/Unichrome seems pretty final. No use beating a dead horse.
