7.10 - is there a graphics card min spec for blood?

I have very low specs (TNT2), and disable everything I can. Enabling partical effects, for example, works a little for me, but will cause the game to crash eventually.

I was looking forward to seeing if the new blood would work, so I left it on. In the arena, no crash. In my first battle, 2 peasents knocked unconsious, no crash. So blunt weapons seem ok. Then the game crashed. So I kinda think that it might have been caused by the first non-blunt hit in that game.

Am I out of luck then? (And could someone post a bloody screenie to make me jelous, please?)
 
Tharg,

Your crash may or may not have anything to do with your lower-end graphics card. Numerous people are reporting crashes at the moment.

These crashes seem lessened (but not removed) by using a fresh, full install. If you don't have a full install of 0.710, could you do a uninstall, delete the mount&blade folder, and then use the full installation?

That might allow you to see if it is your graphics card or the game itself causing your crashes.

Good luck and sorry I didn't post a pic of blood,

This was with a full install, although I just did it over the existing 7.04. I will try a fresh-re-install-after-uninstall-and-deleting though. Thanks.
 
Well, I did what you said, and it seems to have worked. I started a new character and cheated my way up a few levels, then got into a battle. Got blood on my sword and everything, very cool, no crash.

It's all good, thanks a lot.
 
Hmm. Crashed again. This time it was while I was shooting at a bandit at close range. I saw the arrow start it's flight, then heard the thud of it hitting home, then saw the desktop.

Tomorrow I'll try playing with blood off and see if it's more stable.
 
I'm not sure, do I have to have particles on to see blood? I've been using crossbow on river pirates (gotta rebuild the levels cause no save transfer) but I've yet to see the blood... Just curious
 
For the ranged weapon blood spray you will need to have particles activated.

The standard blood should work regardless. I think its just a texture overlay.

EDIT : Crossbow won't usually show blood, but thrown weapons or hand weapons usually do.
 
Thank you... I messed around some more and I got it to work... Very nice touch you guys added.. Definately adds to the game... I just want to restate how much I love this game... A few weeks ago I was internet searching for something new and interesting and I'm glad I hit pay dirt... If you guys make a different game after this I bet I'd buy that too... Hmmm... Do you guys have any othe games?

Sadly enough ... not yet. :grin:

Armagan will be making games for us for the rest of his life or there are a few of us that will be catching a plane to Turkey to do a little persuading. :wink:
