Guest mariposa guest Report post Posted January 13, 2013 EL doesn't render water properly on my laptop. It is a real bummer and I'm desperate for a way to resolve it. It is an Acer Aspire One with Mobile Intel 945 display chipset. Windows XP. I have the latest drivers. The open GL version is 1.4. Here is what it tells me on startup: [01:48:49] Window size adjusted to 1018x530 [01:48:50] Your card reports having vertex program capabilities, but the support is buggy, so we disabled it. [01:48:50] GL_ARB_multitexture extension found, using it. [01:48:50] GL_ARB_texture_env_combine extension found, using it. [01:48:50] GL_EXT_compiled_vertex_array extension found, using it. [01:48:50] GL_ARB_point_sprite extension found, using it. [01:48:50] GL_ARB_texture_compression extension found, using it. [01:48:50] GL_EXT_texture_compression_s3tc extension found, using it. [01:48:50] GL_SGIS_generate_mipmap extension found, using it. [01:48:50] GL_ARB_shadow extension found, using it. [01:48:50] GL_ARB_vertex_buffer_object extension found, using it. [01:48:50] Couldn't find the GL_EXT_framebuffer_object extension, not using it... [01:48:50] GL_EXT_draw_range_elements extension found, using it. [01:48:50] Couldn't find the GL_ARB_texture_non_power_of_two extension, not using it... [01:48:50] GL_ARB_fragment_program extension found, using it. [01:48:50] Couldn't find the GL_ARB_vertex_program extension, not using it... [01:48:50] Couldn't find the GL_ARB_fragment_shader extension, not using it... [01:48:50] Couldn't find the GL_ARB_vertex_shader extension, not using it... [01:48:50] Couldn't find the GL_ARB_shader_objects extension, not using it... [01:48:50] Couldn't find the GL_ARB_shading_language_100 extension, not using it... [01:48:50] Couldn't find the GL_ARB_texture_mirrored_repeat extension, not using it... [01:48:50] Couldn't find the GL_ARB_texture_rectangle extension, not using it... [01:48:50] GL_EXT_fog_coord extension found, NOT using it... [01:48:50] Couldn't find the GL_ATI_texture_compression_3dc extension, not using it... [01:48:50] Couldn't find the GL_EXT_texture_compression_latc extension, not using it... [01:48:50] GL_EXT_texture_filter_anisotropic extension found, using it. [01:48:50] Framebuffer disabled (need newer driver) [01:48:50] Shadow map size not supported! Shadow map size reduced to 512! [01:48:50] Not using vertex program for actor animation. [01:49:13] The location of the data files in use is ./ What GL extension is to blame? Is the any hope? Thanks for any help you can offer.

Lexi Report post Posted January 13, 2013 I had this one time! Welcome to on board video! You can try updating your driver, but I don't think that will fix it here. I think this is why you are having issues: 01:48:50] Your card reports having vertex program capabilities, but the support is buggy, so we disabled it. [01:48:50] Not using vertex program for actor animation. Just a suggestion. Hope updating will work. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tork_unib Report post Posted January 13, 2013 I've an aspire one too, trust me you don't want the water working - unless you happen to like sub 1fps gaming. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest mariposa Report post Posted January 14, 2013 So there is a way to get it working? I would like to try, then experiment with the settings or el.ini to see if I can improve the FPS. If the server disables the water on purpose, is there a way to force it to be enabled? Thanks so much for your quick replies. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LongMustache Report post Posted January 14, 2013 I assume it disables the water because your netbook cant handle it. Look for 'water reflection' option under video tabs in options and turn it on. I assume el will just crash, but its worth a try. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you want to enjoy EL in highest details, change your PC to a one with graphic card for gaming. You have a crappy video card, end of story.
