Title: Windows and CEL
Post by: culeshell on March 14, 2004, 07:06:47 pm

Hello everyone.  I\'m running Windows XP with 256 mb ram, a nvidia geforce2 mx/mx 400 64mb, and a 1.4 gig AMD Athlon processor.  Now that the specs are out of the way, I installed CS and Planeshift, and I finally managed to create a character and get the world initialized, but it\'s running incredibly slow.  I get the message that there\'s no cel environment variable set, and I think that may be my problem.  If anyone could help me get cel set up on windows xp (home ed., if it makes a difference), I would greatly appreciate it.  Thanks

No that\'s not the problem. What do you mean by incredibly slow exactly ? I have athlon2000, 512ram, gf4mx and it\'s still not very smooth.

Well, when I say slow it\'s like, every step I take skips majorly...sometimes there will be a long skip that takes 5-10 seconds before I\'m able to move again.  I don\'t know if that\'s normal or not.  Any input is appreciated.  Thanks.

You should  at least get 256mb more ram and a better gfx card like a  gf4, then it should work better on your comp ;)

It was working with 256mb, not pretty but usable.

Okay, I\'ve been meaning to upgrade and I\'ll have a new box within a couple weeks, so that\'s good timing.  Thanks guys.  =)

Now theres the next question:
Is the program slow because its lagging or cause my Graphic Chip is not good enough?

As I posted in the WhiteScreen Thread i got an Asus Notebook with 512Mb Ram (inclusive Video Ram) an Athlon 2500+ mobile processor and a SIS video chip.
My Internet connection is a 768Kbit down/128Kbit up
 DSL connection.

In System settings I can\'t find a word about openGL so maybe it is not even supported by this Video chip - could that be possible?
