Graphical Glitch: Incomplete Zombies

[Chukkzy]

Yes I know what you are thinking now: "They are Zombies, don't they always miss bodyparts?"
No this is about the enemy models in the game. Sometimes I do not get complete models, like a Zombie missing a head or a torso, which usually pops in after it has been attacked. I figure this is a videodriver thing, anyone else had this and how can it be remedied?

Videocard is an AMD Radeon HD 7770

I get the same. Using amd 7950 with version 14.3 drivers.

[[FFL] Genesis]

Same, 7970 14.3 drivers.

In the menu look for Zombie Torso disapearing.


PS: Nvidia: the way it's meant to be played.

Well I would say cool, but the game refuses to run correctly with the above replacement files.

Thanks for trying to help, no thanks for the added comment. Nvidia or AMD are just two different companies trying to achieve the same thing. If the game was coded properly there would be no problem with neither of them. (Yes I am looking at you Sega)

it says you need to change your driver version, do that with the official driver and not the beta driver. Do not do the other tip with replacing files. check you game cache integrity in your steam library, right click on the game, local file, check integrity of game cache; to replace back the files you modified.

quote: On some configurations, a common problem are enemy torsos disappearing in many moments of the game - this makes playing House of the Dead: Overkill extremely difficult. This issue seems to be mostly related to GCN-based AMD Radeon graphics cards and can often be solved by reverting to Catalyst 13.12.[4].

[[FFL] Genesis]

The official driver is out and this is still a problem. Fix your game. Not fit for purpose.

Leaving message here for developers is maybe not usefull, or maybe you're talking to me, in both cases, contact the game editor to officially report the problem.

People say the developers should fix it, but wasnt it working when first released? Should it not be down to AMD/ATI to fix? Do they have an email that can be messaged about it?

Are there any users for that matter, who are using an ati/amd card and not having the problem? Do let us know if there is, and what card you are using.

Ehhhh no. It does not work that way. Of course, as a videocard/hardware manufacturer it is in your best interest to make you hardware as accessable to developers as possible, enabling them to tailor their product on the hardware. Sega needs to come forward and communicate with AMD about it, not sit in a corner and shrug their shoulders while they pretend their customers do not exist.

Also on my new R9280 I get no picture at all, just a black window with sound. Awesome.

[Bafster]

Same card chucky, but I just get the see through zombie stuff.

[Vargas78]

I actually reinstalled driver 13.12 so its running ok now. Hope it doesnt cause bad performance on other games though.

[toix]

Same here.
I don't want to revert driver every time i play this game.
I want to know whether they are going to fix it.

[Chukkzy]

I just give up on this game... Thankfully I paid not much for it.

[Slater]

Developers offers no solution... Real nice of them =/
