Tico Report post Posted January 6, 2006 Dear moderators i have a problem with mine and EL, ill discribe it 2 u so u can help me, or not. i have instaled the new version, after the implementation of C2, and the new graphics stuff the mods added on game, in the old version the machine with problems was a little slow, (fps on game screen betwen 5 and 15) but i could play without any serious problems, but after the implementation one thing happens and all try to reproduce it now: i open the EL icon, then it starts with the usual loading and ask my login and password, i add both fields on the screen and click on the OK buttom, the it starts to load the 2d graphics, the status bar get complete, then it starts loading 3d objects, i watch the status bar growing till the end, then it stops.... nothing else happens, just stop, i think that my char is logged, but im cant be sure, but i saw the connection messages betwen the game starts and the login. I hope it can be some internet option, or windows configurations, if u have any knowledge about it please help me!!!

My idea is that your graphics card is too old (more than 3 years old). EL really needs newer hardware. So I suggest you get a newer graphics card.

Derin Report post Posted January 7, 2006 Good luck in finding a new card. It doesn't have to be a really expensive one tho. GeForce 5200 FX works pretty fine and it is cheap. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
