Drakan and EMBM

[R0M]

I have had a lot people asking where is EMBM in Drakan. Well here's a simple howto to properly get things going. An easy way to see EMBM is in multiplayer. Simply host a new game, pick the default dragon. The first thing to check is the dragon scales, you will see them more if you have 'All Lights' enabled in the options settings. Another way to check for EMBM is look at the water, you will see an extra layer when it's moving causing a bump on the surface. Now back to the dragon, to get a closer look at the bumps, hold down your right mouse key while flying, this will control your camera angles and simply drag your mouse around, check the tail, the wings and his body, if you still can't see it let me know,

Regards,

Got the game yesterday.
Sweet game, with or without EMBM...but it sure does add to the visuals

Here are 2 similar pics I took. On with EMBM off, the other with it on...

Anyone having any odd visual glitches with EBM on? I occaisionally get rainbow-colored water or and rainbow-colored Arokh.

The game is great but I'm getting tired of crashed to the desktop for no reason. I'm using the 5.15 drivers. Anyone else getting these problems?

Hi Terell,

disable 'Palettized Textures' ... that should help to get rid of those funky flashing
