Unhappy Evil Transparencies! Grrr.....

I decided to take a little stroll through Graal and took pictures of transparencies that have been bugging me for ever.
I know they look fine if you turn on DirectX, but I don't use DirectX because it slows down graal for me and I can't see light effects anyway. But are the transparencies ever going to be fixed for those of us who don't turn on DirectX?

It could be a video card issue.
I'm glad you turn off the lighting effects, they're ugly and scattered EVERYWHERE.

Try updating your video card drivers to the latest version.

On the system I used before this one, I had a similar problem. Even with directx on, everything would have either a problem with transparencies or just get covered by black boxes. I never figured out how to fix it.

You dont need special video cards to need drivers, you just have to have a video card

I have yet to be able to play Graal with Direct X on, simply because it lags me so badly. I want to be able to see the lightning effect once though.

You'll regret it once you can see them.
