SinS Report post Posted October 13, 2007 what does the file error_log.txt say, it would be in the \Program Files\Eternal Lands directory on windowz or usually ~/.elc/ on linux. Would also help to know which operating system you are using Video card? Drivers up to date? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SinS Report post Posted October 13, 2007 Nothing really there out of the ordinary, I'm guessing it's a fresh install? Still need to know the Operating system, Windows XP? Vista? Linux? Distro? And usually one of the main things that I've seen where it does what you describe is when video drivers are out of date or not installed correctly, it is important to keep the drivers up to date so you need to know what type of video card you have. There is a great guide pinned in the help me section if you are unsure how to do this. Click here to get to it. If that does not resolve the issue, then more information is needed on your computer, mainly OS and Video card Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
