I have heard that ATI and OpenGL don't mix well. I have read about other games that use OpenGL having problems with ATI cards and especially ATI coupled with AMD chipsets. AMD is supposed to be working that out as we speak. Lets hope that since AMD bought ATI, they can fix that small issue.

I am beginning to wonder if there is some issues with EL and new ATI drivers. It seems to me, that everyone that is having problems lately, has ATI cards. Is it just me noticing this, or am I really paranoid perhaps?

thnx derin, i'll look into that hydravision thing. and i'll try those two settings in el.ini.

I just uninstalled all my video and cpu based drivers down to bareness. I then followed up with a fresh update for both. I am thinking that somewhere along the way, some files may have gotten either replaced or weren't updated properly. Lets hope this may fix it. If it doesn't, then I'll have to figure something else out. I am also going to give ttlanhil's precompiled exe's. I figure if he went to the trouble, someone should at least check them out, and if one works, I'll sing his praises from the hilltops

I play a game on my computer called, Tomb of Fulaos. It is supposed to use OpenGL for its graphics, not sure how true this is. But it runs just fine without crashing, and I average 60-100 FPS in it. Other games, Doom3, UT2k4, COD, COD2, and a few others that are graphics intensive, play just fine with all the top settings, most are around 30-45 fps. I can't understand why EL has to give me the lockups tho, lol.

This is what my #glinfo response was: Video card: RADEON XPRESS Series x86/MMX/3DNow!/SSE2 Vendor ID: ATI Technologies Inc.

If I am wrong for posting this, please tell me where to post it. I have run into 5 errors when trying to compile the client, and I know very little about C, I program in VB 90% of the time. Here is what Bloodshed Dev-C++ outputs: Compiler: Default compiler Building Makefile: "C:\elc\elc\Makefile.win" Executing make... make.exe -f "C:\elc\elc\Makefile.win" all windres.exe -i

help is appreciated.

if they are having the same problem i am having, i'd bet they are in the game for about 5-10 seconds, then the screen goes black, and windows crashes. I am trying to compile a copy of the client to see if that fixes my problem. If it does, i'll recommend doing that.

I am not very sure what to say here. I did the compilation guide that was last recommended, but i get these 2 errors. I downloaded all the necessary files, and i don't know what else to do. I'll go ahead and post what the compiler in dev-cpp says.

am a dedicated VB programmer. So C and its variants are a foreign language to me. Any help would be appreciated. Especially since I can't seem to get either of the el exes that come with the original install to run properly.

yeah, that would be me, kylara, and glad to see that you still play. i hope to be back in the game this week, next week at the latest.

Thnx BloodSucker, I'll give that a try. I used to love this game, and I would hate to see this end up being a problem, lol.

I just finished updating my video card drivers with the latest Omega Catalyst Drivers. The game still locks up my computer when it goes to loading the game world. I am beginning to feel the frustration, but I don't plan to give up yet. I have too many friends that play EL for me to give up. If anyone else can think of something, please post it. I don't want to run the client again, until i am sure that my problem is solved. Risking hardware failure isn't that fun of a process. thnx for the help so far.

I know that my system can push the game to around 450fps easily. the thing is, like ttlanhil said, it causes overheating especially at high fps. I set it low for testing purposes. when i get the latest omega drivers downloaded, i think that should fix my problem. I know that MSUpdate uses tuned down catalyst drivers. so by using the performance and gaming tweaked Omega drivers, i should be back to playing.

I am currently working on downloading the most up to date omega drivers. i am now setting the fps limit to 40. I'll post a follow up to this post if all goes well. If it goes south, then i'll post when i get the omega drivers.

These are my system stats: AMD Athlon64 3500+ 2GB PC3200 RAM 60GB 5400RPM HD 128MB ATI Radeon X200 Mobility (Uses Sideport Memory, Not Shared) This is a laptop by the way. HP Pavilion series. I start the game, it usually works for a short time, and then it gets flakey. It will go from windowed to full screen to windowed to full screen, and continue until windows locks up. I am using Windows XP Home SP2 with all the current update and video card drivers are up to date. I use Wal-Mart Connect Dial-Up now known as Netscape Connect. I have a firewall, but all gaming ports are open. the error_log.txt doesn't seem to tell me much. but this is what it says: Log started at 2006-09-23 00:04:46 localtime (Central Standard Time) [00:04:48] Error: Can't open file "quest.log" [00:04:48] Downloading http://www.eternal-lands.com/updates132/files.lst from www.eternal-lands.com [00:04:48] Error: Can't open file "commands.lst" [00:05:00] Error: Can't open file "./particles/moon_bubbles1.part" Last message repeated 3 times [00:05:01] Error: Can't open file "counters_antoris.dat" I have tried using both exe's, el.exe and elsse2.exe. both do this erratic behavior. I tried the other clients posted, and they all act the same. If anyone has any information that could help me. I'd appreciate it. I have tried using different settings for graphics and what not. I just can't figure it out.
