ttlanhil Report post Posted December 12, 2005 you have a memory leak . if you're right that'd be a pretty nifty diagnosis... thrawn, how long does it take to happen? has this always happened? if not, when did it start? what changes were made to your computer around that time? anything of interest in your error log (C:\Program Files\Eternal Lands\error_log.txt)? are your graphics drivers new?

Thawn Report post Posted December 12, 2005 It depends its happened alot in the tavern when my FPS gets close too 200+ I figure its just murdering the inside of my comp when the FPS gets that high, it happened alot till i put the FPD block on 100, it hasnt happened sense, IM hoping thats it. Other then that, Everything is updated and brand new i believe the game was overclockin my processor lol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ttlanhil Report post Posted December 12, 2005 yeah, sounds like an overheating problem. most people won't notice much difference between 50 and 500 FPS, so using the limiter should be fine Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think you can go to less that 100 though. I would try something like 50 if I were you. Just to be on the safe side. And regarding drivers and such just double check that you have the latest Catalyst drivers for your computer's graphics card. Even if the computer is brand new, it doesn't have to mean that you have the latest drivers. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm allowed to create a new character however after about 10 seconds the entire computer freezes regardless that I don't actually do anything. It seems like the same problem, but I have no idea how to get to the FPD to slow down the frames before the game crashes. I'm running a pentium 4 2.9 ghz 512 MB RAM WINDOWS XP ATI MOBILITY RADEON 9700 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
freeone3000 Report post Posted February 26, 2006 That setup looks familiar.... Try setting the fps limit in el.ini to something like... 40. EL normally takes as much power as possible. A Radeon 9700 is too much power. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cormaher Report post Posted February 26, 2006 FPS above 30 is already more than a normal eye can see IMHO. I limit the FPS always on 15 (since I tend to have a lot of other apps / compiling business open in the background) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
