Software mode

Hello everyone,

I'm using an ATI card that from what I understand can cause issues whilst playing Gabriel Knight 3. In the help section, it advises to run in software mode. Can I delegate the program to run in software mode? If not, how do I go about this?

Thanks

Right click in the game, select the 2nd to last button to bring up the game options. Click "Advance Options". Click "Graphic options". From the 3D Drive drop list choose "Software Renderer".

Awesome thanks guys.

Yeah, the game does work in Software mode, but it looks completely awful -_-

I know this is a common trend with running in software mode, so I must ask, if I have an ATI card, is there any way that I can play this without it looking terrible?

Thanks,

Just in case it's necessary

Were you getting clipping with the graphics?

It's mostly that Gabriel is translucent when I keep the camera still. When I move across the room, he's visible and just fine. That's essentially the only issue I'm having.

I am not sure what to say. I have an HD4600 and have no issues.
