Cruella Report post Posted November 29, 2010 Hi, I've downloaded and updated EL with the latest client. All works fine but sometimes the game crashes repeatedly. Error log contains the following: [16:15:37] el_open(): EXTENDED EXCEPTION(1:file_not_found): Can't find file ./3dobjects/bag1.e3d in el_file at io/elfile.cpp (line 179) [16:15:37] Can't open file "./3dobjects/bag1.e3d"!

bluap Report post Posted November 30, 2010 Judging by the error log output you have given, you are not running the new client but one from the around the initial 190 release. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hmm, I've downloaded it from the official link on the main website, thanks for the hint, I'll double check Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bluap Report post Posted November 30, 2010 May be I've not understood you correctly. When you said: I've downloaded and updated EL with the latest client. All works fine but sometimes the game crashes repeatedly. Did you mean the client released back in April or the new test version that has been available for a week or so? In my previous post I was assuming you mean the test version. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In my previous post I was assuming you mean the test version. The official version, downloaded from http://www.eternal-lands.com/el_190_install.exe I've tried to uninstall, delete folders (except the ones in My Documents, to keep old settings, counters, etc.), downloaded the package again, installed, same problem.

On the new machine the problem does not exist. very old laptop? it could be a hardware issue. have you ever played EL on this old laptop before? it would help if you could post the specs of this unit. also, was the log that you posted the latest log when the client crashed?

Yes, the version 1.8 and all earlier ones since 2007 were not causing any issues. The current one works okay as well for the majority of time. Crash never happens if let's say I'm alone in a secluded cave and only harvesting. It is hard to notice exactly what causes a crash, but it looks like crashing when a bag (either a drop, or player made) appears nearby. I have made an experiment, and dropped something to create a bag - a bag is invisible and not accessible after closing its content window. I believe the key is a problem I have posted in the initial post, that is: [16:15:37] Can't load file "./3dobjects/bag1.e3d"! The log I've posted was the latest after the crash (copied immediately after crashing). It's Compaq Evo N410c PIII 1.2 MHz, 256MB RAM Video card: RADEON 7000 SW TCL x86/SSE Vendor ID: ATI Technologies Inc. OpenGL Version: 1.3.4276 WinXP Release Running WinXP SP3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DibClark Report post Posted December 1, 2010 (edited) The log I've posted was the latest after the crash (copied immediately after crashing). It's Compaq Evo N410c PIII 1.2 MHz, 256MB RAM Video card: RADEON 7000 SW TCL x86/SSE Vendor ID: ATI Technologies Inc. OpenGL Version: 1.3.4276 WinXP Release Running WinXP SP3 very well. the error you indicated is somewhat common on some instances, as i have that too, at times. but the culprit, as i have seen it, i your available memory. although the official EL website sadly lack the system requirements aside from the video card requirements, i do believe that your laptop crashes occasionally due to the following reasons: low memory - you only have 256 Mb. most newer games run on a minimum of 512 Mb (1 Gb recommended). also, depending on the applications running in the background, there may be a small amount of system resources and available free memory left. low harddisk space - on older laptops, only 40 Mb sized harddisk are installed (30gb default on yours), and depending on the applications/software installed (and the persistent temporary/garbage files that accrue over the time it is used), the harddisk may be running out of free space. ATI cards are also known to cause crashes every now and then. i have also had no problems with version 1.8 even on my old gateway laptop, even running at 80+ FPS. but when the 1.9 version came out, i observed that the game ran more slowly, owing to the fact that the improvements in the game may have required more processing power to run the game. but run it does, albeit slower. in this light, do compare your new unit to your old one (circa 2003 if i'm not mistaken), and see how much different they are. or, if you can, you can try increasing the system memory of your compaq (based on their website, it is expandable to 1gb) . i have had an old compaq r3000 laptop, and it runs EL beautifully even at just 64mb video ram and 1gb system ram (before it totally gave up ). good luck!!
