Problem with new client

Recommended Posts

Hi, every time I log in a window pops up and says Eternal-lands client has stopped working. Is this client compatible with vista? I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling a couple of time with not luck. I would be very thankful for any help I can get.

Hi - it's not working for me either......

 

 

 

But then, I'm using my laptop which has always been crap so I'll try on my mate's computer before I start blaming anyone other than cheaply-manufactured toshiba products :evilgrin:

Ok I give up. Have spent hours reading forums and could not even find out if game is now compatible with Vista. 90% of what Ent said just went over my head. I have no idea how to do any of the things he said to try. (my son is right I am too stupid to own a computer) can't even figure out what RCs is. My video card is a nvidia more than that i can't tell you. Only that when i logged in it always said it would support future updates. So I give up and guess I will wait for a patch to come out. Hope to see you all soon in game.

well i can assure you it works with vista since my ingame wife Bernie has vista and she can play ALMOST

fine (having some map bugs but thats all)

 

As for the actual problem.. wish i could help but when Bernie installed the game everything went pretty

smooth and she didnt had to do any tricks or something.

 

Hope someone will help ya soon enough :)

There is only so much we can do to help people, they have to do something too.

If you want to be helped, the minimum you have to do is provide system info (especially what video card you are using).

Ok after much searching, a good nights sleep and with a much clearer head I have managed to come up with a little info. ACPIx86-based PC, NVIDIA Geforce 7300 GS, Intel ® Pentium ® 4 CPU 3.00 GHz Processors it is listed twice don't know if that means anything, 2.00 GB Ram. Hope it helps and thank you for your time. Have now also updated video drivers.

Oh and thank you Scorpius I at least now know it is not a Vista problem.( I hate Vista)

Well made new char and was able to get into game. changed some of the settings as in went to poor man and turned off sound. hasn't stopped working but now can't harvest or enter buildings or such. The icon does not come up when i scroll over things. There could be other problems that i haven't found but that's where i am now.

Ok I now have it working. Had my son (the one who says i'm to stupid to own a computer) look at it. seems it was using a wrong path. he was not sure why but after much trial and error he got it to work. I thank you so much for your help and your time and hope never to have to bother you again. :dry:

I too am having a problem with the latest client on my new laptop. I have never run a prior version of EL on this computer though, so it may not be the new version. I found threads explaining ways to fix similar problems, but nothing has worked so far.

 

Here is my problem:

The game turned my screen to grey static (4 times) or a black screen (1 time) and I couldn't do anything but shut down my computer by holding down the power button until the laptop turned off.

 

Processor Speed (in GHz): Intel Core Duo T2060 1.60GHz (2 CPUs)

 

RAM (in MB; 1 GB = 1024 MB): 894MB

 

Graphics Card (model, maker, and video memory [in MB]): ATI RADEON XPRESS 200M, 128MB, Omega Drivers

 

Hard drive space (In GB): 61.1 GB (on EL partition), 92 GB total

 

Version of Eternal Lands running: version 1.5 (downloaded today 11/28 at 10:30 am GST -5.00)

 

Operating System and version: Windows XP Professional Version 2002 Service Pack 2

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

-ClamWin Free AntiVirus (not scanning)

-Ekahau Wireless Utility (wireless disabled)

 

Exactly when and what you were doing while the error occored: Has happened several times. All times, all I did was walk. The last two times it happened I was on Isla Prima and I tried to walk to the fire and it crashed. Then I played again, and clicked on the rocks on the south-east side of IP and started walking there and it crashed. The only in-game setting I changed was to enable the "Mouse Click" bug fix so that I could walk.

 

Also, When I check my "System Events" I get this error at the same time: "ati2mtag: CRT invalid display type".

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I would assume you have an ATI video card? If so, for some reason, it causes trouble with the game, so my suggestion would eb to update the drivers.

If that still doesn't work, try the poor_man = 1 in el.ini
