Hi:

I just have purchased this video-game...but when I finnaly get to the menu, I cannot see the arrow or navigate over the options.... the text appears somehow black and disabled...

Seems to me that is some kind of graphic problem. Please, need help!

Kind Regards.

Hi Miguel,

Have you tried using different graphical options in the toll that pops up when you click on the Start menu shortcut for the game?

Hi JI:

I have tried with OpenGL, and seems to be working better, at least the navigation over the menu is ok, though in my native resolution 1920x108060hz is like everything is presented as if it where zoomed. In windowed mode it's ok, but I'm intending to play in 1080p.

My Windows 7 font size is 175 if that helps. ¿Any idea about what could be wrong?

Thank you very much for your support.

Just how zoomed in are we talking about? Keep in mind that there may be some stretching as I don't recall if games around the time when BoD came out had any actual support for resolutions higher than 1024 x 768.

Well, let's say that I see a 1/4 square of the screen. During that time I think the higher resolution was 1280x1024, but I'm not quite sure. However, if the 1080p resolution is there to choose it, I'm assuming you guys have "improved" the scalability of he game resolution, right?

Ok, I've done some homework. I have tried with lower resolutions upto 1024x768 and the zoomed screen remains in all of them. I'm enclosing to this post how my screen looks like when playing Blade. I appreciate very much if anybody with W7 and Nvidia modern cards experiemnented the same.

More thoughts....I have tried with 16bit color depth and NO problem at all... ok, now, can anybody at GOG help me out to make this to work with 32 bits? May I ask other users to share their experience on this issue? I know the game costs 5 bucks, but I own it in CD released long time ago, and I think that deserves a little bit of support for me, don't you think?

Thanks you very much in advance, you are doing a great service in gog.com
_______SOLUTION____________________
Ok problem solved! For those you have bigger Windows fonts, for instance for not becomming blind in front of your HTPC, right click over Blade exe icon, and go to the compatibility tab and there you will se an option to disable the scalability of the fonts when playing to the game. That allows to play Blade in 1920x1080x32 bits.

Hopes this help you out folks!

Kind Regards.
Miguel.
