In Single player everything is alright but when I play Multiplayer i don't see other players and no weapons the graphics also look very ugly compared with singleplayer i already found a topic about it but the link is broken can someone post this fix again?

Yes... for the multiplayer game you must have a DirectX9.0c supporting videocard.

See DARK MESSIAH Installation and Troubleshooting Instructions.

'Scuse the hijack of this thread but:

BlindNero, it appears to me that I can not send you a private message. What would be a good way of contacting you?

Me enabling it again.
But then i fear the 'technical-question-PM'ers' will return and attack me!

As an Admin, you should be able to see my email address don't you.

ok i found what too do i had a ATI Radeon 9100 pro series(x2) I tried too install Catalyst 6.11. but it says it's not VGA compatible but it says "New hardware found(VGA Compatible)".
how can i solve this?

You had, or you HAVE a Radeon 9100?
When Windows finds the card and attempts to install its standard drivers, CANCEL that, instead install the ATI Catalyst drivers. Please first uninstall old drivers, follow the instructions exactly in DARK MESSIAH Installation and Troubleshooting Instructions [POST 2] the section about ATI drivers...

i did uninstalled all drivers..
i did exactly what was explained.

Hmm, let's see what card that is then.

i'm also not able anymore too install my old driver?

Ahh... i see. You have no videocard. You have integrated chip: ATI Radeon 9000/9100 Pro IGP Chipset. And it is outdated (2002), this is not capable of running the game, as it has no hardware support for DX9.0c. Also, you do not install the same Catalyst drivers for it. Just throw it away.

-Display Driver ...1 of 3... (11.7MB) Feb. 9, 2006
Optional:
-Catalyst Control Center (Dutch) ...2 of 3... (16.3MB) Feb. 9, 2006

With this, you will have restored your ATI drivers.
Remains the problem that you cannot run the game. For this, you'd first need to buy and build in a real videocard with DirectX9.0c support.
