Full screen problem

Recommended Posts

Guest Ladybird

I have made a char and can play the game, but when I try to set to full screen the client locks up and I have to close it.

 

On the starting screen I get lines of text saying things like '***** using it' or 'not using it'. Along with these lines is one in a different colour text which says 'Couldn't find the GL_ATI_texture_compression_3dc_extension not using it.' and one saying 'error opening sound configuration file'

 

Anyone any ideas please?

I think that's a know bug for some ATI cards which hasn't been fixed yet.

The first thing to do is to check if you have the latest drivers for your graphics card installed.

 

A workaround would be to edit your el.ini file. Look for the line #full_screen = 0 in there.

Replace the 0 with 1. When you start the client, it should run in fullscreen.

 

el.ini can be found in the My Documents\el\main folder on windows systems,

and in ~/.elc/main on Linux system.

 

Hope that helps.
