I`ve just started wizards and warriors and I am very disapointed.
In view of the rave reports and letters on this forum, I can`t help thinking there`s something wrong with my PC.
I have an Athlon 650mh processor and an AGP Viper 32mb video card. Baldurs Gate 2 played perfectly on it.
The graphics are so bad. When you`re walking along, what looks like an old fence suddenly appears in front of you. Most of the time you can just walk through it!
At one stage a shape appeared in front of me. The text informed me it was a horse. Well, if it was, it was wearing striped pyjamas!
I find it difficult to get into the game, so maybe I`m being to harsh, but after BG2, I find this a complete anti-climax.
Have I bought a pig in a poke or am I missing something?
I`d be grateful for your thoughts.
Cheers

You must be missing something. What OS are you using?
Try running the game in software mode.

Hopefully one of the technical gurus will be along with some excellent advice.

Yes, many thanks for that. It was ok when I did as you suggested. A different game altogether.
Does this mean there`s something wrong with my graphics card?
All I have to do now is find out why those trolls keep wiping me out!
Cheers

There is probably nothing wrong with your graphic card - just certain limitations in W&W. Glad you at least have a game to play now since it is a lot of fun!!

If your video card has a chipset from nVidia (TNT or GeForce type) you might try to get the newest drivers from http://www.nVidia.com.
