Transparent Textures

[KnightShiva]

I have a constant glitch in my game where all of the metallic textures are transparent. Some the other types of textures are transparent as well, i.e. Visquis's tentacles, and all of my swords, making them look ridiculous.

I've had this glitch since I managed to install the game on my windows 7 laptop (using only chewing gum and a few prayers.)

Now, I know that I am WAY below recommended requirements, but I'm going to give this one last shot.

I read somewhere on the internet that this transparency issue is caused by "alpha channel" problems, and that it can be fixed by replacing the textures. I don't really have any idea what that means, or if its even a viable option.

This is just a shot in the dark, but... is there any easy way to fix this without delving into what my graphics card can't and can handle?

 

I was just wondering.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
