Cant start EL

Recommended Posts

Yea I start up EL it freezes up right around the time it says "initializing actors" or somethign like that..then my comp slows up and usually ends up crashing. If I were to guess id think i should just reinstall but..if someone could tell me whats up thats swell

 

Processor Speed: Pentium 4 3ghz

RAM: 480 mb

Graphics Card: I uh dont have one on my labtop but i ran the old version of EL just fine on this comp.

Hard drive space: 50, 20 free space

Version of Eternal Lands running: 1.0.1

Operating System and version: Windows XP 2002 home edition

Internet connection speed: 56k

What else you have running other than eternal lands. This includes on the taskbar on Windows: My ISP

Exactly when and what you were doing while the error occored: Thats none of your business what i was doing with that monkey and the raspberry jam...other than that just starting the game

My guess is that it may be your graphics card - if you are unsure what or if you have one, EL may be unplayable for you now. Solution - a new card.

 

These could clean up your error log some:

 

Particles, fontv - Go to your EL\textures folder. Make copies of particles 2, 3, and 4 - rename the copies 5, 6, and 7. Then take either font.bmp or font2.bmp, make a copy, and rename the copy Fontv.bmp.

 

Animations - go to your EL\animations folder, copy canine_pain.caf, and rename the copy canine_pain1.caf. Then back-up Player_slash1.caf, copy canine_pain2.caf, and rename the copy player1_slash.caf.

Certainly a stupid one, but are you sure the EL version you are running is still supported ? Did you try installing the 1.1.2 version with its update(s) ?

 

Note that your error_log is absolutely standard and is not the problem to your comp crashing.

 

Anyway: Good Luck !

Its not only the client, you need of course the complete environment.

 

Please download the latest version of EL and install it into an empty folder, that should help.
