Hi guys, I'm new here. I already searched the forums for a problem similar to mine but haven't found anything.
Anyway, here's my problem:
I downloaded Cabal and installed it to my laptop. I didn't experience any problems during download and installation, but when I started playing, I noticed that my HP and MP meters, map, enemy HP meter, and the background of my inventory, skills, quest, guild / buddy and character boxes oftentimes disappear. I also can't see the Combo UI when I activate the Combo skill so I can't do combos. In the case of my map, I can only see the text, but no terrain features whatsoever. When I do dungeon quests, i couldn't see how much time I have left. This is really annoying, especially when I need to find something on my map, and I have no way of knowing how much MP, HP or time I have left. MP is not really an issue because blue potions are on auto, but I have to do a rough estimate of my HP by looking at how much damage I get from the enemies each time I get hit and subtracting it from my HP. So when I get distracted, I lose track and forget to take red potions and I die and get a death penalty.
I have already tried a clean install (uninstalling and re-installing) of the client, plain re-install (no uninstall), I have downloaded a fresh Cabal client from another mirror from the Cabal PH website and did a clean install, I already did defrags of my HDD and the registry, and I also did registry clean-ups after uninstalling the client but the problem persists.
I can have a graphics-problem-free Cabal experience when I go to computer shops to play there, but it kinda defeats the purpose of installing it in my laptop. Not to mention some security issues when I play in public computers.
Is there anything I should do that I have forgotten? For those who are interested, here are the specs of my laptop:
Compaq Presario C733TU
Intel Celeron 1.86GHz
1GB DDR2 SDRAM
256MB Video Card
MS XP Pro SP2 OS
I would really appreciate any help you can give, guys. Thanks in advance.
