hmmm...looks like your el.ini is not pointing to the right directory. there are two files with that name. they are in:

 

  • My Documents/Eternal Lands/main
  • C:\Program Files\Eternal Lands (or where you installed EL, which is in D:\Programme\Eternal Lands)

Open each in notepad (but make a backup first in case you further mess it up lol - make a copy in the same folder), and look for the line that says:

 

#data_dir =

make sure the path inside the quotes ( " " ) is the correct installation folder where you installed EL.

 

for example: default installation path is "C:\Program Files\Eternal Lands"

you installed in "C:\Games\Eternal Lands"

 

the line should read: #data_dir = "C:\Games\Eternal lands" (in your case, it should read: #data_dir = "D:\Programme\Eternal Lands")

 

if the registered path is different from the actual installation. try to look for it (see above) and rename the "el.exe" file to "el_exe", if found. also, make sure you do not have any other copies of the game in any folder aside from the current installation. if there are, just rename the el.exe file(s).

 

when done and corrected or verified, save the file.

 

DO NOT RUN THE GAME BEFORE YOU FINISH CHECKING BOTH FILES.

 

also, try setting the following lines to the following settings (this will give poor man and a lot of reduction on system load). these appear in order from top to bottom in both files [NOTE: only do this IF you still cant run EL):

 

  • #no_adjust_shadows= 0
  • #shadows_on= 0
  • #use_shadow_mapping= 0
  • #clouds_shadows= 0
  • #show_reflection= 0
  • #limit_fps= 60
  • #poor_man= 1
  • #use_vertex_array = 0
  • #use_mipmaps= 0
  • #use_mipmaps= 0
  • #particles_percentage= 0
  • #mouse_limit= 5
  • #enable_sound= 0
  • #render_fog= 0
  • #use_vertex_buffers= 0
  • #use_alpha_border= 0
  • #isometric= 1
  • #shadow_map_size= 1
  • #use_compiled_vertex_array= 0
  • #use_frame_buffer= 0
  • #use_eye_candy= 0
  • #enable_blood= 0
  • #use_lamp_halo= 0
  • #transparency_resolution_fix= 1
  • #use_fancy_smoke= 0
  • #special_effects= 0
  • #anisotropic_filter= 0
  • #water_shader_quality= 0
  • #use_harvesting_eye_candy= 0
  • #skybox_show_sky= 0
  • #skybox_show_clouds= 0
  • #skybox_show_stars= 0
  • #skybox_show_moons= 0
  • #skybox_show_sun= 0
  • #use_animation_program= 0

don't forget to save each file after you edit. you can change these settings in the ingame options screen when you are able to log in.

 

for all it's worth, good luck :)
