Guest Malaki Report post Posted September 12, 2015 which is the log file i will look Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bluap Report post Posted September 12, 2015 I don't use windows but I think you will find an "Eternal Lands" folder in your "My Documents" or "Documents" folder. In there, you will have a folder for each server config you have used (default "main"). You should also have a "log" folder. Inside the log folder you will have a file called "main_<some number>.log", you may not see the .log extention, the number will vary each run. This file is your last log file so open it (a double click from your file manager should do), and look for errors. If you have a fatal error, it should be at the end of the file.

bluap Report post Posted September 13, 2015 That looks the correct file. The last few lines indicate you have a problem with your graphics driver. I'm not the best person to help with that (not being a windows user) but I suggest to have a try with the manufacturers driver that you can probably get here: http://support.amd.com/en-us/download.
