0 fps with nvidia GeForce FX 5200

[Guest prism]

Hi

 

I could use some help getting Eternal lands working on my computer. It seems to have installed fine and I think I have all the dependencies, but I'm getting 0 fps when I begin to play.

 

thanks

Firstly, which Linux distribution are you running?

Do you have the proprietary nVidia linux driver installed and working?

When you log into the game, press F1 to enter console mode. Type #glinfo and copy the first three lines of output from that command and paste them here. That will confirm what driver you have installed. Also if you're running Debian, Ubuntu or Arch, you can use this script to acquire and install the proprietary nvidia driver correctly.

In the options, try turning off "use animation program" under the Adv Video tab.

 

If that doesn't help try turning off other options too (shadows, vertex options, etc.)

Thanks for the help

 

tinkering with the video options worked. I found putting it on poor man and the camera distance closer worked as well as turning off the shaders/shadows/etc. I now get 50 fps.

 

thanks
