EL is shutting down..

[GreenWizard]

Every Time I want to log in with my existing char, EL shuts down and i get the following Error message:

Who can help me?

Looks like a Windows memory addressing error (in some heathen language) to me. Usually occurs because of a corrupt program file or (rarely) because the Windows Page File is using an unstable part of the hard drive. Even more rarely it can be caused by insufficient memory (RAM) on the machine but if it was running normally up until now that would seem not to be the case.

 

Hope that helps

A suggestion I would offer would be to reinstall the game to a new folder - it may take a little time but will narrow down .DLL incompatibilities and corrupt files in the EL folder.

Well, actually i did not play the game before, I just created a new char.

But as I wanted to log in, the Error came up.

I think there is (a other?) problem: After accepting the Rules after each programm start, it sais:

 

GL_ARB_multitexture extension found, using it,

Gl_EXT_compiled_vertex_array extension found, using it,

Couldn't find the GL_*_point_sprite extension, not using it,

Couldn't find the GL_SGIS_generate_mipmap extension, not using it...

 

I thought about loading the newest patch yet, but I already have the 1.0.1 version.

 

 

 

@labrat: I'll try.

the "couldn't find" bits only mean that your graphics card and/or drivers don't support those extensions, and you won't benefit from different graphics processing routines ingame. They are not critical.

 

If you get as far as logging in before the crash, it may be corrupt map files - a reinstall will test those too.

[GreenWizard]

I reinstalled the game, but the error is still there..

What kind of graphics card do you have?

 

Have you updated your graphics drivers?

[gadai]

Greenwizard, when you reinstalled did you do it to a new folder as Labrat suggested or simply install 'over' the existing copy of the client?

 

If the second, then it may be that a dud file managed to persist through the installation process, if the first that would seem to indicate a dud file in Windows somewhere which is called by any installation of the client.

 

If the first can you try creating a new character and entering the game? If you can do so successfully it would indicate a difference in the processes used between a standard login and a character creation, perhaps providing someone with MUCH more knowledge of programming a vector to approach the problem from

Yes, I reinstalled the game into an different folder. (Has no effect on the error)

My graphic card: 3DFX VooDoo3 (oooooold one! )

I tried to find an update, but the card is too old, there is none...

Your graphics card is too old these days I'm afraid, I strongly recommend you get a newer one.

 

However; you might wanna try this (if you are running windows):

too old?? hmm.... might be...

thanks for the link, I'll trie to find a patch and i'll tell if it was succesful

[GreenWizard]

I installed the newest patch, but that doesnt effect the error...

No, I dont use a compaq.

Do you still have this problem or do you made El starting yet?

If it doesn't work, you don't need an entirly new computer. Just the video card. It works fine on a 64MB Vid RAM GeForce400 MX, which is fairly cheap.

[GreenWizard]

ok, thanks for helping!
