Heretic Kingdoms: The Inquisition

GOG


In the world of the Heretic Kingdoms, a world where God is dead and religion heresy, you are cast as a young female inquisitor, working to stamp out the last remnants of religion. On instructions to destroy a relic which the Inquisition considers to be a significant threat, you are drawn into a war between two warring secret societies – a conspiracy of mages whose goal is true power, and a shadowy cult who seeks to resurrect the Dead God.

As the story progresses, you will be placed in an amoral world and left to decide your own morality. Just like the real world, your actions have consequences, and it is up to you to decide if you can live with them or not. Play as an altruistic heroine, a vicious and selfish egotist, or just a woman trying to get her job done – your actions will lead you to one of six different endings depending on where you decide your loyalties lie. Will you crush religion underfoot, or become its savior? Only you can decide!

• An engaging story line written by a script team lead by critically acclaimed game writer and designer Chris Bateman (Discworld Noir, Ghost Master)!
  
• Features a simple but rewarding combat system that keeps the action flowing thick and fast.
  
• A vast world to explore containing around fifty locations, scores of unique monsters, and tons of loot!

Hello Everyone.  I bought this during a GOG sale, and it really looks great.  I'm excited to play.  However, I'm having what appear to be graphics issues, and I am hoping someone can help me figure out what to do.  I have Windows 8.1 with a partial SSD and an Intel HD4000 graphics card.  I have never had this issue on any other game.

When the game loads, it looks like there is a thunderstorm on top of the game.  Does that make any sense at all?  The image loads just fine - you can see the picture on the screen.  But on top of that image there is a constantly moving mishmash of stuff that resembles a thundercloud. 

It is rendering the game unplayable, and I am sad.  Any thoughts appreciated.

I've passed your question along -- will get back to you when I come up with something!

Thanks Genki!  You Rock!   

Have you tried altering/disabling some of the graphics options and changing the resolution in the configuration ? Think it asks you the first time but you can also find it in the game folder (right click shortcut on desktop and left click open file location in win7).

Yes, Genki - I have tried every configuration imaginable.    

Tomorrow will be uninstalling and reinstalling the game.  Will report back.  Thanks!

From GOG staff:

WOW!  Genki, you have friends in High Places!    

Thanks so much!  I'll write them as soon as I can collect all the information I think they might want to have, and if I can figure out how to take a little gif movie of what happens.
