Knuckles Report post Posted July 23, 2006 You installed the 1.3.0 update? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The_Knight Report post Posted July 23, 2006 Yeah I am working on a bigger picture, and I installed and re-installed the update Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ttlanhil Report post Posted July 23, 2006 (edited) maybe you should get the full install then... not finding el.ini means you're missing stuff you shouldn't be... usually because someone installed the update without having a proper previous install in the same place ed: oh, and system specs, etc, as in the pinned topic Edited July 23, 2006 by ttlanhil Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The_Knight Report post Posted July 23, 2006 (edited) This is pretty much a new/old computer. New as in Hardly used, no other programs, old as in 2002/2003 I hope EL will work on it. I am reinstalling it for the third time ,Knight Done installing it for the third time and still the same problem, It might have to do with the drivers?

I am reinstalling it for the third time ,Knight No, you should be installing the complete game for the first time now. Forget the update download. Remove all of what you currently have by deleting everything and install the FULL game just as though you have never played EL before. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The_Knight Report post Posted July 23, 2006 (edited) <Link>? Whats the link? *EdIT* RIght, Nevermind *Edit 2* If you didnt understand, thats what I have been doing, Full install (From Eternal lands> Download> The Game> Windows Http) But that hasent been working so I have full uninstalled it also, and repeated those steps 3 times So... It might be someting wrong with the Windows Http Version, So I would try the Bit Torrent, But I am way too stupid for the Bittorrent Edited July 23, 2006 by The_Knight Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aislinn Report post Posted July 23, 2006 Also, please post ALL of this information: Contributed by Freeone: What we need to know to solve your problem: What the error is. Processor Speed (in GHz) RAM (in MB; 1 GB = 1024 MB) Graphics Card (model, maker, and video memory [in MB]) Hard drive space (In GB) Version of Eternal Lands running Operating System and version Contents of error_log.txt* Internet connection speed. What else you have running other than eternal lands. This includes on the taskbar on Windows. Exactly when and what you were doing while the error occored. How do I find out what graphics card I have? Right click "My Computer", go to "Properties", then click on the "hardware" tab, click on "Device Manager". Then click the "[+]" next to "Display Adapters". There should be only one thing under there, post that here, please. After that's done: Wait. Time zones are the curse of us all. If you don't get a reply in a couple of days, then it's safe to say no one will answer it and bump it up one. How to check internet speed: http://bandwidthplace.com/speedtest Free. Only useable three times a month, though. Example: Yes, it's kinda lengthy. Yes, it's mine. Still a good example, even though it's missing a bit here and there. Example. *error_log.txt can be found in your Eternal Lands directory. It's at C:\Program Files\Eternal Lands\error_log.txt as the default directory on Windows, and /home/username/.elc/error_log.txt on Linux. To get there, just take off the last error_log.txt and CD to there, then open it. Copy paste here. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bleuren Report post Posted July 23, 2006 Thats is what I have been doing the whole time, I have been full installing it and then>Full un-install, Repeat... three times. Still always teh same problem One time, the uninstall failed to work, and if that so happens please find the file (if you use Windows) C:\Program Files\Eternal Lands delete this whole folder, download a new start, if this STILL don't work, there is 2 possible reasons I can come up with that happend to me. 1. A map file got deleted and it's causing the game to crash 2. Out of date graphics drivers can cause it to crash also, as your graphics company has new ones for you to use.. If any of this still don't work, I don't know then.. it could be a bad configuration.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The_Knight Report post Posted July 23, 2006 (edited) Aislinn, let me try to find out what I am running on here, It might take a little time so once I find out what the system specs are I will post them, But any Idea where to find them. Well this will take some time. ,Knight What I am guessing here why EL isnt working is: This is a very Smeggy Computorius or The Graphics drivers are out of date, Which I thought might be the case in the first place. So now for the system specs... Here are my system specs... 1.8 GHz 512 Ram Km266 graphics with 32mb shared video memory, 32mb Graphics card (Thats crap) Internet connection speed: 100Mbps? What I got running on windows: Eternal lands and AOL highspeed internet Tell me how to fix the Graphics card thing (Please), that has to be it, cause the other specs are pretty much standard HD=80GB Version 1.30 EL or Latest Windows XP, no clue what version Error log: [14:19:11] Error: Can't open file "quest.log" [14:19:11] Downloading http://www.eternal-lands.com/updates130/files.lst from www.eternal-lands.com [14:19:11] Error: Can't open file "commands.lst" Other internet specs: 2.6 megabits per second Communications 2.6 megabits per second Storage 317.5 kilobytes per second 1MB file download 3.2 seconds Subjective rating Great Explain results Info Date & time Sunday, July 23, 3:07PM* Test type IDT4 Free Connection type Cable Data size 1024KB Edited July 23, 2006 by The_Knight Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ttlanhil Report post Posted July 23, 2006 okay, now that the el.ini thing is out of the way, on to diagnosing the rest of the problem. please try out the client I posted here, as it sounds like your crash is one of the things worked around in that client. please remember to get the other files you need to run my clients... if you're not sure about that, click the link in my siggy, and use my installer to get them for you Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The_Knight Report post Posted July 23, 2006 (edited) There is a problem with that download... I try to run it and there is an error *Edut* Drr... Not supposed to run it I see Ok... I saved all the files in Eternal lands folder but still the same problem THanks for all the help but: I GIVE UP!

ttlanhil Report post Posted July 23, 2006 err, yeah, download to EL dir, and then run that one, not the link in start menu, etc (that's still the official client) open up explorer (Win+E) and go there (C:\Program Files\Eternal Lands\) then run the one I made (elc_ttlanhil_workaround.exe) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ttlanhil Report post Posted July 24, 2006 that means it's most likely the screencapture used before the map loading then it's really only a problem for a few computers... I wonder if a config option is warranted Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The_Knight Report post Posted July 24, 2006 (edited) Ttlan is it normal for the mainloading screen to appear when entering/exiting locations? And whats up with this? Edited July 24, 2006 by The_Knight Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The_Knight Report post Posted July 24, 2006 It happens when another window pops up infront of EL and then to get it back to normal I have to restart EL Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ttlanhil Report post Posted July 25, 2006 It happens when another window pops up infront of EL and then to get it back to normal I have to restart ELmyeh, that's nasty... okay, does changing maps work, have you tried that before?other than that, all I can suggest is to replace the video card, or simply avoid other windows popping up (having less running should also make the game a bit quicker) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
