What's your operating system? What's your graphics card? Are your OpenGL drivers up-to-date? Update your graphics card drivers.

1. Figure out what the manufacturer of your graphics card is called.GamingFez wrote:How do I update my graphics card drivers?
To do this, click the Start button, click Control Panel, click Appearance and Personalization, click Personalization, and then click Display Settings.
Click Advanced Settings, and then click the Adapter tab.
This is where you can see details about your video card, including what kind of video card your computer has.
2. Go to the support section on your video card manufacturer's website for information on how to download and install the newest driver. Follow those instructions.

Re: Bug makes the game not playable.
Try this:
— Open Windows Explorer
— Navigate to the folder Lugaru is installed in
— Doubleclick "Lugaru.exe"
Does it work properly then?

Re: Bug makes the game not playable.
I'm sure it's something with where the directories are, but I'm out of my depth because I don't know how Lugaru is set up in Vista. You might want to consider contacting Wolfire directly. http://www.wolfire.com/contact
Re: Bug makes the game not playable.
my directory is on my desktop...

Re: Bug makes the game not playable.
Oh, in that case, try copying the whole folder to a different location, like C:\, and start it from there. Because maybe, the spaces in the actual path are tripping Lugaru up.
I don't know though.

Re: Bug makes the game not playable.
Seeing as I'm totally just guessing here, and you're not sure what you're doing, maybe you shouldn't actually follow my advice. Contact Wolfire. They know this kind of situation, I'm sure.
