Invisible items in hardware mode (MMMerge Revamped)

Unread postby AxelDominatoR » Yesterday, 10:03

Greetings everyone,

I've just installed the Revamped version of the Merge mod and, when switching to Hardware acceleration, I can't see arrows being fired anymore and items such as potions on the ground also become invisible. They can still be interacted with and switching to software mode makes everything visible again. Other aspects of hardware mode, such as widescreen resolution and update UI seem to work properly.

I seem to vaguely remember encountering this issue years ago playing a different mod (or maybe MM7/MM8 with the Grayface patch), but I can't remember if/how I fixed it and I can't seem to find anything related to it on the forum either.

Does anyone know how it can be fixed, or what data I can provide to debug it? I'm running the game on a separate drive (E:\Games) on a Windows 8.1 machine, with both mm8.exe and mm8setup.exe set to Windows XP compatibility mode. Resolution is 1440p with a GTX 1080 Ti.

Thanks in advance!

Update: a fresh install from scratch seems to have fixed it. I have lots of different mods and patches unpacked to try them and I must have used the wrong directory during one of the steps.
Hopefully it will be useful to someone (and definitely a reminder to myself that even if you have just recently installed something, starting from scratch again is always an option...).
