Title: little help?
Post by: Nosheeth on January 06, 2005, 10:49:32 pm

I just got done downloading PS and installed it but when i try to launch it at the top of the screen it says.

crystalspace.canvas.openglwin:
NO HARDWARE ACCELERATION!

What does this mean and can anyone help?  I am really loking forward to playing.

P.S. Hope this hasn\'t been asked before and sry if it has.

In general, it means that it has to use software, which is slower, to update the screen images.  This also uses more memory and CPU time, if it works at all.  Another possibility is your drivers are not present or set up correctly, or your card isn\'t detected.  If you could post system specs, it would help narrow it down. :)
