What?
EDIT: Oh. You mean your armor is metallic and reflecting?
Well, you're a warrior. Warrior armor is made from steel. Steel is, well shiny and reflective.

What the...
I think this might be becouse of your Graphcard or settings. The ground dosn't seem to be that highdef either.
I remember one that had this Shiny look a few secs after they logged in but it vanished right away. Could be the RAM. Not sure at all.
Check your settings how low/high they are.

i tried all levels of detail

Oh, your game is bugged. Either that or your graphics card can't handle it.
I'm not much of a computer person though, so I'll leave other people to handle it
EDIT: Moved to Tech's corner.

Second: What Graphcard do you have then? and how mutch RAM?
calebporzio
if anyone else can give me a strait up answer please do my graphics card is "NVIDIA RIVA TNT2 ULTRA"
calebporzio
i have 512 mb ram

Then i don't know. You should be able to run it on lower then max settings without problems if you only own Prophecies.
Edit: Yet 32 MB isn't mutch for a graphcard nowdays. (That's what i figure you have on yours) So i'm not sure about it at all.
Any speculations from others would be great.

well your video card is old and not very good (sorry, just telling you the truth). If you have the cash I'd recommend investing in a new card and perhaps some extra ram.
I've seen this problem before and it'd always been the video card. But before you go out and buy some new stuff you could try running the game with the -img command to download everything again. Takes a while though so don't do it when you need the computer :P

Basically, the effect you are seeing is your graphics card choking wihile rendering textures. Go into your graphics options (F11 menu) and untick the radio box beside "Use best texture filtering". This may eliminate the strange effect you are experiencing.

Sorry, but the only advice is to ditch it and get something more capable. Also, while you're at it you may want to up your RAM to at least 1GB too, 512MB just won't cut it these days either.

Looked it up and it seems like it's from 1999, with only 32 mb.
Like i asked you "Calebporzio", If you have seen this or had any problems before.
Didn't get any answer but i'm sure you would have had problems with the new games.

I don't recommend updraging your current PC. Its running on AGP (no doubt) which is very outdated. You can pick up a PC that can run GW very very well for ~350$ nowadays.

I recommend that you get a CyberPower PC. They have the LAN Special that you can order with the new AMD Phemon Quad core for $769. Any new computer you buy from a walk-in store will have Vista installed on it, which is terrible for gaming since it uses up so much memory. CyberPower can build your computer exactly the way you want it and they can put XP on it.
Otherwise, look into getting a pre-owned computer. Or even if you're that tight-budgeted, you can pick up the GeForce 7600GS for around $89, it's an AGP card, so it'll probably work with your system and you'll be able to get around 40fps on all high settings. I know this from experience, my old PC was just like yours only with a 16mb card instead.

wow TNT2! that card is like what? nearly a decade old?
Personally I wouldn't recommend upgrade, getting a new cheap pc would be a better choice. But then again I'm guessing you don't play pc games that much, if that the case fine a cheap agp card and upgrade the memory to 1gb. That'll run GW alright just dont expect anything fanncy or high setting.

I'm guessing the OP probably has a Pentium III/AMD K7 at 1Ghz or less, PC133 RAM, and if an AGP slot at all, it will undoubtedly be 2x-4x speed. As a rule of thumb, don't bother upgrading if your PC isn't at least from this decade.

But yes, you really need to upgrade that computer. Pop in to the local computer shop and have them quote you an all-round home PC (go for OEM XP, it's cheaper and support can be found on the internet), basic 1Gig RAM.

You'll want at least a 1GHz P3 and an AGP Radeon X1600 to run GW.
I can run it at such a computer (my file/dns server), but it won't be very fast.

The Way Out
Your graphics card is trash and it is AGP. I have about twenty cards like that sitting in a dry bin in my closet. They were installed on a lot of whiteboxes some years back. They either had anywhere from 8mb-32mb dedicated. That is an old card, man. I feel for you. However, if you have the money, pm in game and I will give you the info for my vent server. I will help you pick out a system that will allow GW to be played fine. I should be able to find you a system for as low as $350 that will run GW without a problem.
If you don't have the money, I suggest you save up and not upgrade. Upgrading that system is seriously a waste of time and money. Don't do it. Just save up and get a newer system. You will be much happier with the performance.
