lighting bug inhouse [SOLVED]

[KTron]

hello community,
currently i have the problem that there is a lighting bug when the character is inside a house. Some things are just black, objects are recognizable, but are colorfull like a rainbow. When going outside with the character everything looks like it should. The bug appeared from one day to another, i did not really change anything on the game settings. I tried reinstalling the game, changing / resetting the configurations und using another savegame, nothing helped. I am running this game on Win 10. At the beginning this game worked just fine, i am clueless.

Try rebooting your computer. If I leave mine on long enough, eventually I'll get this problem, until I reboot (though the last time it eventually went away on its own, without rebooting).

Does it make a difference if you switch to Software mode in the configuration program? You can start the program from the install folder (..\SteamApps\common\divine_divinity), or in the Steam library, right click DD and select configure.


Try the Windows 8 Performance "Patch" (works in Win 7 and 10, as well)

In the Divine Divinity install folder, edit the config.div file (in Notepad, or other text editor) and add/edit the line rgb 555 and change the number to something else, like 565. If the line isn't there, go into the graphics options and change the gamma, or something, and it should be added, or you can do so manually (just not as the last line in the file, as the game expects that line to be blank, and ignores it).

Try using the disk version of the configuration program, to set the game to run in Direct Draw mode. Rename or move the existing configtool.exe and NlsEng.dll files in the install folder, and extract the disk versions from the zip file below.

Maybe WineD3D will work better than Direct3D

Wow, thank you for your reply Raze_Larian, that really helped.
Switching the mode from "Direct 3D" to "Software" already fixed the bug, the game even loaded way faster (i just thought it was an old and not really performant code), but the game seemed to be a bit accelerated. Then i installed the Windows 8 Performance Patch and the game run in "Direct 3D" mode with normal speed.
