A few probs with grandia 2 pc

**Kellicros** · May 19th, 2002

How can I increase the volume of the in-game musics? For me, they play too low while the other sound effects are loud.

Also, the characters' shadow looks really wierd in my game, well, I'll try to grab some screenshots later on.

finished it some time ago, and i'd disable the shadows if i were you

AFAIK there is no way to increase only the music... footsteps are rather loud, yes, but its bearable

is there any gpu today which doesn't lag when those shadows are enabled? even my geforce 4 mx 440 lags when those are enabled. disabling them is another story

**Kellicros** · May 20th, 2002

Well, my game run at full speed even the shadow is on, but it looks really wierd. argh.. will takes some screenshot later.

**Demigod** · May 20th, 2002

I know what you're talking about. The shadows seem to enclose the characters, right? The shadows were fine for the first time but afterwards they were really strange. I just turned them off.

My Gandia 2 for PC runs fine w/the shadows enabled. No lag and no slow downs. Also, I really don't see anything objectionable about the shadows. I just leave them on.

I dunno, but here's the shot. Shadows looks strange...

**Kellicros** · May 21st, 2002

and here's a shot I found at RPGfan.com .

you might want to turn them off..it could be your tnt2 also giving you your prolbems.

And to sx/amiga is rebuying grandia 2 worth i bought for the dc and sold it..i know my comp can run it fine.

I've tried to play Grandia2 with TNT2 M64 and it seems fine.
Maybe you should try latest Detonator driver (even it is not optimised for TNT2 card).

**Kellicros** · May 21st, 2002

Installed the latest official detonator 28.32 but no help at all, mind to tell me which driver you were using?

**Shiori** · May 21st, 2002

Hehe, I had the same "cape-shaped shadow" problem too. I think you'll need to use a specific older driver. can't remember what though.

But you should turn it off instead using F5. You're not really missing anything big that way.

**Kellicros** · May 22nd, 2002

I always feels like I'm missing somethin when I play the game without the shadows...

So true Neojag, so true, and it does the same for Dungeon Siege and Morrowind as well.

I hope I can afford GF4 Ti 4600 soon.

**Demigod** · May 23rd, 2002

I'll stick with my GeForce 2 until at least the next Nvidia card comes out. Hopefully it'll have Glide support and better FSAA. Or maybe I'll get an ATI card. I'm tired of the low image quality of Nvidia cards.

Evil Squall:

I had this same problem, shadows displayed strangely. I found that the cause of this was the fact that I was running grandia 2 off of a disk image using daemon tools without safedisc emulation turned on (or visa versa, can't remember which), once i turned on/off the emulation the shadows worked fine. tested this a few times and always got the strange shadow effect. Maybe you're running with a similar setup?

if not then try the lastest drivers from your card manufactuer, then if those don't work try the lastest from your chipset manufactuer. also you might try tweaking the settings of your card, such as fsaa, vsync, etc. hope this helps.

**Kellicros** · May 23rd, 2002

I play the game through the real cd, and have the latest detonator driver installed...
