Could be wrong but that's the way TF looks?

Maybe it's because of the dark surroundings dunno, but doesnt seem much wrong with it.

How thunderfury should look like

Dajo if you see TF like I do you have the same problem I have... :lmfao:

I have the same problem. I am almost sure that I didn't had that problem.....

Maybe I need to reinstall the game...

very wierd...

do you have the latest vga drivers?

akall your pc is faster then mine, but i have 3gig ram..and i see TF right..

Akall · October 22, 2006, 03:38:33 PM

Yeh my first thought has been to update the drivers but I already had the most recent ones...maybe I should just buy 2 more gigs of ram :roflmao:

I've also always seen the TF that way too :eyebrow:

However, if I ctrl-click it to see it in the wardrobe on myself, I see it correct. But I've never really bothered to check it too close, so if you find out something, let me know :flirty:

Found this on US boards:

There is a known issue that will cause textures to display all black on some objects/items in-game. Most notably on the Thunderfury weapon and Cloud serpent mobs. There are two known work-arounds to display the texture properly.

# Smooth Shading
Disabling the Smooth Shading option in the video options within WoW will return the textures for some models of video cards.

# Anisotropic Filtering
If the Smooth Shading option does not seem to return the textures properly try to lower the Anisotropic Filtering setting within the video options in WoW.

Tryed both of them but it does not work <_< :g: :sad:

Well that was obvious :g:something in them is wrong and giving as a result of reflection of lights and such on the sword black(nothing)

Well I consider myself lucky to have a ATI X800XT PE and I can say there is no NVidia chip on it....

kregoron · October 23, 2006, 06:42:32 AM

Mine works sometimes, i can fix it by hitting default setting and thereafter setting it all up again without smooth shading enabled... but i have to do that each time i load the game for some reason, and seeing the Texture on TF isnt really that important to me..

Gorion · October 23, 2006, 06:42:09 PM

hmm... this prob is only with nvidia chips?

bah.. i might have to re arrange the vga on the upgrade ive been planning :/

I know!
after all the money gorion put in the weapon he dindt have any money to buy the batteries for the glow effect
you can unscrew the tip of the handle and insert a few Golden power cores ( or what ever the name is exectly) if you dont put that in, no cool effect
