No letter in the game

[llilii]

Hello I just started to play but i notice that I can't see a single letter in the game, be it character name, stall name or item name... does anybody have similar problem? how can I fix it?

Upgrade your graphics driver. It's out dated, and you probably have very old PC too, Am I right?

Sometimes it happens to me too, I just restarted the client to fix it.

It happens to me and my laptop is 2015 model lol.(not the pc I used on that weird buggy look thread)

wow thank you guys!! very fast reply!
actually my laptop is only about 4 years old, I tried to restart but nothing works, also I'm a little bit noob, but how can i update my graphic driver?

also, I have a question guys, is ther a lot of imbalanced stuff in this server? like the gems and mallers...
and also is autofarming forbidden? (SS magma smuggler)

 

[llilii]

anybody?

 

[Zankza]

Would you mind disclosing your hardware specifications along what operating system do you have?

 

[llilii]

I already found out how to update my driver. I hope it works, thx

also, is there will be bd gems here? I think it's a bit overpowered (?) me and my friends are coming for some nostalgia, we always had fun playing together but extreme gemmers killed the fun lol..

where can I read the changes from the original ToP? like I heard seal masters can't seal here (?)

ugh I tried to update the graphic driver but still no use, I'm using windows 7 and INTEL graphic

OK here's the thing, the client has font file called SimSun.ttc, there is something that causing the client from preloading that font file. Have you tried running as administrator?

 

[llilii]

actually it's not the first time, I tried other private server before and it's also like this... I don't know how to solve it because it seems that not too many people have the same problem (also the minimap seems to have some error too, but maybe both are related ?)

 

[llilii]

Yes I have the font file, and just now I tried to run the launcher in administrator, but still same result..

 

[Zankza]

Try to go inside the system folder and right-click the game.exe and have the properties set so that the executable is always ran as administrator.

Afterwards, launch the game, see if that fixes.

 

[llilii]

I tried it and it's still blanks... no fonts at all

 

[llilii]

I tried to re install too... but still no result

 

[SkyChaser]

can you try updating your hardware using Driver Booster?

Don't do that. It's unnecessary.

There are many reasons why the game couldn't preload the fonts files, most of the time its something related to security problems, Either not enough privileges or concerning security breach, and you have some agent such as anti-virus that is actively blocking the requests to preload font files.

I would recommend you to use another PC, but if you are proficient with technology you could consider reinstalling or upgrading your operating system, Preferably if you went to Win10.

 

[llilii]

yes, I was blocked at first (it crashes when I want to create character and even delete my downloaded set up) so I uninstall it, and now I can create character but still can't see the font
