no hardware acceleration it seems
« on: September 08, 2005, 12:48:35 am »
I feel like I\'m running planeshift on an old video card, when really I have a nvidia 5900 XT which runs other games like bzflag at enemy-territory blazingly fast.

I\'m in Linux by the way, anyone else have this problem?

PS uses OpenGL, and it runs on my linux machine just fine (except the plaza, where the game starts to crawl).

So, as enemy territory runs fine, your problem is probably related to the still not optimized code. But you share this issue with all the others, so don\'t feel lonely ... :-)
Typing and grammatic errors may be safely ignored, they come without charge ...

Actually I got it working today. I didn\'t have the proper opengl activated. I had the x.org one activated. I just switched to nvidia opengl in gentoo and it worked.
