ATI graphic issues

[Samski]

Hello,

I have some major technical issues with my Notebook.
I have an ATI HD5850 mobility Radeon and there are always missing textures on screen.
First: I tried everything, but Iam not allowed to update the drive, because the Acer Notebook sucks and won´t work anymore.
Second: I tryed to set off the Catalyst AI and tried to change the settings in game and at Catalyst Control Center.

Please help me.

Here is an example:

I can only play with the Intel on board HD4000 and it sucks, because the game is really nice.

 

I posted this on Steam, but nobody could help me

Looking at the version number of that driver, you are indeed running drivers that would have compatibility issues.

The first thing you can try is running the game in DX9 mode, but you really should contact Acer to see if they can offer you an update path.

Hi, I tried it with Acer, but they wrote only deal with it, your Notebook is too old.

Can you please tell me, how to run in DX9 mode?

[Support]

If you go to the folder you installed TLD to (usually C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\TheLongDark) you will find a series of batch files. One of them will be called tld_dx9 - Just double click that and the game will run in DX9 mode.

Thank you, that tip helped a lot!
