Entropy Report post Posted December 15, 2003 I heard many reports of crashes, but on Windows and Linux. So, try the following steps: 1. Download the patch from the download page (el.exe or el.x86.linux.bin) and overwrite the previous file, in your el folder/directory. 2. If this doesn't help, delete your whole el directory, and reinstall the game, then apply the patch as described in step 1. 3. If this still doesn't help, post here.

crus Report post Posted December 15, 2003 Ok, Entropy here's what i've came up with.. i've tried all u said.. even redownloaded the whole 17mb client, same thing happens again.. i've tried with .bin file from the update, and with the patch .bin file and same thing happens.. i start the game, click, type my user/pass and then clients exits.. crus@pixel:~/Games/EternalLands> ./el.x86.linux.bin Fatal signal: Segmentation Fault (SDL Parachute Deployed) OS: SuSE linux 9.0 - kernel 2.4.21-99 graphics card: ATI Radeon 7200... hope this will help u out to fix the problem.

Entropy Report post Posted December 15, 2003 Hmm, this is very strange... Can you take a look in errors_log.txt and see if there is anything there? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Entropy Report post Posted December 15, 2003 Is it too much to ask to recompile/install your OpenGL drivers? I think that might be the problem... Also, is the sound on, in el.ini? I think by default is off, but that might be it. Also, try to change options in el.ini, for start, turn the "poor_man" mode on 1, see if it helps... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
crus Report post Posted December 15, 2003 Ent, so far nothing.. i've edited the el.ini file, the sound was disabled by default, i've turn on the poor mode, and same again, same error, i've turned off/on all that can be, and nothing.. As of OpenGL, well i can try, but the version before the update worked great.. i'll let u know if reinstalling new openGL is 2 much of a risk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Entropy Report post Posted December 15, 2003 When leeloo comes online, i'll give him the source, to recompile it. maybe it's something wrong with my libraries or something. The game is compiled on SuSe 8.0 BTW... Oh, are you trying as root? Or normal user? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Entropy Report post Posted December 15, 2003 Also, not that I think would help much, but delete the file el.cfg Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
crus Report post Posted December 15, 2003 Hm.. deleting el.cfg didn't help.. i've downloaded latest mesa libraries, and if i manage to install them, i'll let u know if problem is still here. Trying as root to run what? EL? no, i'm running el as user, like i've allways did.. I can even get the login screen when trying to run is as root. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Entropy Report post Posted December 15, 2003 I'll hope this will be solved soon... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Entropy Report post Posted December 15, 2003 Ok, download www.eternal-lands.com/el.x86.linux.bin2 , and see if it works. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cicero Report post Posted December 15, 2003 What's the difference? The original worked fine for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Entropy Report post Posted December 15, 2003 It's compiled on Leeloo's computer, with no optimizations. It was just a test... Anyway, it seems to be a different problem, and we are working at a fix. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Entropy Report post Posted December 15, 2003 Situation update: I know what's wrong. The thing is, the client, if flooded with data, will lose some data, which can cause crashes, weird things, not seeing everyoen around, etc. This occures especially at log in when the server sends a lot of data (map name, who is around, your stats, your inventory, etc.) Leeloo is working at a fix right now, so this problem should be fixed soon.

crus Report post Posted December 16, 2003 Today is without a doubth the worst day in my whole 4 month using linux.. It never crashed and all worked fine.. Anyway, i fu*ked it all up trying to install latest Mesa drivers .. Everything wen't to hell.. So i had to do a reinstall of the whole system ... Anyhow, now i'm back after getting some stuff in the OS in order... SO Entropy, i've downloded the latest patch.. still same shit.. let me download the linux.bin2 ok linux.bin2 file works.. but i've entered the granny house on isla prima, it crashed and now that i try to login again, it crashes again so.. problem is not fixed i guess Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Entropy Report post Posted December 16, 2003 Download the latest patch again. This should be the final version. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
crus Report post Posted December 16, 2003 Download the latest patch again. This should be the final version. Did 2 seconds ago, still the same.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
crus Report post Posted December 16, 2003 Since i did not know what else to do, i downloaded the the new 0.9.2 from the download page, thinking who knows what, but as expected, i still get the error.. so. Nothing more left for me to do, but to wait for a new patch.. Plese tell Leeloo that linux.bin2 file worked fine, while I was in DP.. when i beamed to islaprima all was good, and then it crashed when i tried to enter the granny house... Also FPS was like 40-50% higher with the linux.bin2 file.. hope this helps.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Learner Report post Posted December 16, 2003 So far the linux.bin2 has been working for me going back and between Harvy and the mines, but I've noticed that the cursor is very slow to switch to the mine or trade icons. I've also noticed that the client seems to get very laggy in certain areas, such as near the arches between the coal and the pretty quartz outcrop near the silver. I do like how the 0.92 clients doesn't bog down as badly near water (0.91 was bad for that on an athlon 950 w. GeForce 2 MX card). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Entropy Report post Posted December 16, 2003 I really don't know what to say... The new patch should solve most, if not all the problems. Leeloo's patch was just the normal, old client, compiled with no optimizations... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
