Which graphics card and driver are you running? Have you tried the poor man option yet?

You haven't been online yet They are reserved for you. Whoops, those aren't for sale anymore, sorry. Added an Instinct Removal Stone and first post updated.

Which driver are you using? Try to install the latest driver from Nvidia: http://www.nvidia.com/object/winxp_175.19_whql.html

It's working fine for me now, though I get really low fps; about 1-2 fps when fully zoomed out and ~15 fps when i zoom in. I am using Debian Lenny (kernel 2.6.26-1-686) on an old Athlon 900 Mhz with the following graphics card: Video card: GeForce4 MX 440/AGP/3DNOW! Vendor ID: NVIDIA Corporation OpenGL Version: 1.5.8 NVIDIA 96.43.07 It's pretty old hardware. New box coming this week (just waiting for the rest of the hardware to be shipped ^.^)

Type #glinfo ingame and post the output here, please. Are you running compiz on Ubuntu? If yes, you might have to disable it to run El properly.

The problem is most likely related to your graphics driver, so we have to find out which graphics chip you are using. Try lspci | grep VGA in a terminal. (Might have to do that as root / using sudo). Another option: Install the hwinfo package and run sudo hwinfo --gfxcard Then post the output here

Some more information would be helpful... What operating system (version), graphics card (which driver version) and content of error_log.txt please. A first suggestion: update your graphics card drivers and try again.

The driver I'm using (Version 96.43.07) is the latest available from Nvidia. It's from July 16, 2008. And yep, I am aware that it's pretty old hardware. Going to put a new box together soon

Ah, the binary is named 'map_viewer' now. The zip still contained 'map_viewer.linux.bin' which is from Feb 7th. Anyway, the program starts, showing a black screen and then quits when the title switches to "Isla Prima".

I guess it's still the same one as in the last new engine test (that would explain the "unknown option instancing" error).

I think this would make hydro runs way too easy...

Same here. Running Debian Lenny (2.6.26-1-686) on an old AMD Athlon 900 MHz. Video card: GeForce4 MX 440/AGP/3DNOW!

But he will

Hallo

Your 3D acceleration isn't working. You need to install the correct driver from Nvidia. I found this one for Win XP: http://www.nvidia.com/object/winxp_2k_71.89.html I hope it's not the same one you've already been trying to install. It seems that the Vanta chipset is pretty old (never heard about it before, btw ^^), that latest driver is from 2005. I hope EL works for you when you install the driver.

Ok, could you post the content of error_log.txt please? It should be located in C:\Documents and Settings\UserName\My Documents\Eternal Lands\

What graphics card and operating system are you using?

Wow, congratz

Did you try to enable the 'poor man' option in the video options? It should be on the 'details' tab. You can access the options window on the login screen.

What kind of graphics card/chip are you using? Either it isn't capable of 3D acceleration or you're not using the latest drivers.

Thank you for the script. I always used to zip all those files by hand. I've been too lazy to do it for 1.8.0 until now. It's so much easier now with the script. I replaced ksh with bash in the script, still works flawlessly. Needless to say that the client loads much faster with the compressed files.

Nice, thank you. ^_^

Huhu und bis Samstag
