Heimdall, can you help with some advice? I've played all the URU games (shoot, all the Myst games on multiple machines and OS's) but when I went back to my gaming laptop (where I originally played the game) to replay URU, the game starts with no avatar visiblle. Even when I create a new persona the avatar customization area is blank. I've tried to play the game on less capable machines long ago and had this avatar creation screen show a blacked-out avatar (so wasn't capable of playing) but in my case the game loads with no crawl across the 'load progress' two screens and starts with an invisible man.. It looks fine in first-person of course but I really can't accomplish anything since I can't play in 3rd person. I thought I might have installed new video card drivers since my original play, so uninstalled them and went back to the original set that came on the machine (that played the game perfectly), but the problem persists.
