[v1.0]No spell effects, gold glowy

from Elemental Forums

I'm having fun playing so far.  Like others I'd like to see the spellbooks improved to a degree, there is a bit of sameness to them.

The only real problem I'm having is I don't get any spell effects at all ... ever (not just occasionaly like some people with fireball).  And no gold glowy effect at notable sites.

I don't have particle effects disabled.  Stardock, what can I send you that would help you?

Well for me it's 60/40 , I mean I get spell effects in a bit more then half cases.

In others I see just numbers/miss and that's it.

First I was thinking it's just fireball, but then I got inferno, arcane arrow and others - same "effect" , meaning no effects.

I"m getting the same problem. It seems that particle effects are working on the strategic map, I see things like glowy bits on shards and whatnot but in tactical combat the caster goes through casting animation then damage is applied on target which reels from getting hit. I did see the fire giants flame gout and the imp's flash when it uses blink so seems to only be when a caster is casting a 'proper' spell.

I run into the same problem with the complete absence of particle effects for spells (or other places, but the absence of a fireball is easiest to note).  No glowies on notable locations either.

I've tried disabling/re-enabling particle effects, and tweaked a few other graphics settings, with no change yet.
