SkyHigh Report post Posted November 27, 2007 Problem with update. when I start EL it comes out much biger than it used to. starts loading and then exits on its own. how do i fix this? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
johncbh Report post Posted November 27, 2007 (edited) I'm having the same problem except for me it stops before it gets to 100%. I've completely removed el from my hard drive and installed the new one. It starts to load and then it exits. I have a 1.6ghz Intel Celeron processor,256 ram, ati radeon xpress 200m graphics card, and Windows XP. This is what the error log says "Log started at 2007-11-26 21:15:02 localtime (Eastern Standard Time) [21:15:02] Error: Server profile not found in servers.lst for server: Lands\el.exe". Failover to server: main. [21:15:02] Using the server profile: main [21:15:02] No language set so defaulting to [en] and using language selection window" Edited November 27, 2007 by johncbh Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SkyHigh Report post Posted November 27, 2007 yes and for some reason its magnified. i t loads extremly quickly and when the bar gets yo 100% the window just disappears Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Entropy Report post Posted November 27, 2007 Try to disable the frame buffer from el.ini Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
johncbh Report post Posted November 27, 2007 I set the frame buffer to 0 and I still can't get on. Error log says "Log started at 2007-11-26 23:36:57 localtime (Eastern Standard Time) [23:36:57] Error: Server profile not found in servers.lst for server: Lands\el.exe". Failover to server: main. [23:36:57] Using the server profile: main [23:36:57] No language set so defaulting to [en] and using language selection window" It's doesn't even make it to the log in screen and then I get a Eternal-Lands client has encountered a problem and needs to close message.

Entropy Report post Posted November 27, 2007 Ok, try this: In your my documents, there is an Eternal lands folder. Delete it, then try again. Let me know what happens after you do that. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
johncbh Report post Posted November 27, 2007 I tried as you suggested but had the same problem afterward. Someone told to switch to omega drivers for my graphics card and now I can log in. Thanks for the help. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NotaBot(tm). Report post Posted November 27, 2007 Entrophy, if I delete the folder you mention above will I lose everything? Is that where my charcter lives, as it were? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Learner Report post Posted November 27, 2007 Entrophy, if I delete the folder you mention above will I lose everything? Is that where my charcter lives, as it were? The character lives on the server. You will lose settings, chat logs, quick spell, counters, etc, but not any stats or ingame items. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
angela15 Report post Posted November 27, 2007 I'm having the exact same problem. It pops up the log in screen, and it loads, but it stays on the screen. Then says it has encountered a problem, and asks if I would like to send an error report... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NotaBot(tm). Report post Posted November 27, 2007 So (and once again, sorry if this is becoming tedious) I've deleted the folder and reinstalled and still the same problem persists. I've tried giving the pc a 'technical tap'/rap upside the head, to no avail. What, if you have the time patience! can I try next? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Entropy Report post Posted November 27, 2007 I hope you realize that without giving details about your system specs and where you installed the game, and stuff like that, everything else is meaningless. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All these missing files tells us your "#data_dir " is not set correctly in you el.ini file. If you have not installed the client in the default location, you need to edit the el.ini file and set "#data_dir " properly - i.e. to where you installed the client. If you did install to the default location, or the client still doesn't work, you probably have an old el.ini file hanging around; in which case find and delete it.
