This is problem with EL resolution, after install EL have not supported by the drivers resolution (only with ATI card?). Try change video mode in EL (CTRL-O --> video) or in el.ini and restart EL.

Maxine Report post Posted August 20, 2009 [14:29:10] Error: Server profile not found in servers.lst for server: Lands\el.exe". Failover to server: main. This always happends when you do not specify a server, not an error and not likely to cause problems. Have you tried poor man mode? This can make EL playable even if you have driver trouble. Try changing the resolution as well. Good luck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
klucina Report post Posted August 22, 2009 Thank you for your advices. Tried both, but the error message is still the same. Is it not possible to complement file "servers.lst?" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maxine Report post Posted August 23, 2009 as mentioned before, that error does not cause your problems. It is always there. You cannot make it go away by editing the server list, instead change the way you start EL from "C:\Program Files\Eternal Lands\el.exe" to "C:\Program Files\Eternal Lands\el.exe" main and that error should be gone, but most likely what ever the real problem is will still be there. What errors do you get with poor man on? Good luck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
klucina Report post Posted August 24, 2009 Error_log.txt is still the same. Starting a program from the command line with 'main' as parameter by recommendation: {"C:\Program Files\Eternal Lands\el.exe" main} not start(it is not possible). In other programs and games are no problems. This means that EL unable or unwilling to support the new Radeon graphics card? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maxine Report post Posted August 24, 2009 (edited) You dont start the game from the command line generally, but from a shortcut. That is where you make the change as described in the post above, but like I said, most likely that will not solve your problem: change to Some instructions on how to turn poor man on can be found in this post. If turning poor man on does help, your problem is still in the driver but at least you should be able to play. It is not a problem that EL does or does not support any particular graphics card, but your graphics card does not seem to have the proper openGL support needed for this game.

Learner Report post Posted August 24, 2009 [14:38:13] Damn, it seems that you are out of luck, we are in the software mode now, so the game will be veeeeery slow. If you DO have a 3D accelerated card, try to update your OpenGl drivers... You need to find a version of the drivers that properly supports OpenGL and gets rid of this message. Until then, nothing in EL will make much of a difference. Even if you got EL working by disabling a bunch of stuff, it would be dog slow and ignoring any acceleration in the video card.

klucina Report post Posted August 24, 2009 The latest driver of 2 July 2009 is installed. In other programs, and games are no problems. I therefore write the video card that you think is the card erroneously supports OpenGL? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Learner Report post Posted August 24, 2009 The latest driver of 2 July 2009 is installed. In other programs, and games are no problems. I therefore write the video card that you think is the card erroneously supports OpenGL? Most other Windows games are probably using DirectX, not OpenGL. Both ATI & Nvidia regularly break their OpenGL's and it sometimes takes a while before they fix it. I remember seeing another thread that some versions of ATI's drivers are broken when it comes to having reflection, and has been for over a year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zephlix Report post Posted October 27, 2009 Well, thank you for explanation. fyi i have a radeon hd 3870, constantlay crashes el with updated drivers for past 8+ months. I said screw it and revirted back to the install disc i originally had, driver version 6.14 -2007 yeah theres a glitch in the water reflections but at least it doesn't crash any more every 30- min, well no crashing at all Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
