Hardware Acceleration problem
« on: March 30, 2005, 06:02:56 pm »
I am having a bit of trouble running Planeshift: Crystal Blue...client version 0.3.009. When I try to run the applications (if I have the acceleration on) the command prompt comes up and then before any graphical interfaces show up they all crash.

But when I turn hardware acceleration off...the game, updater, and setup program all work fine.

This is what I am using...any help would be greatly appreciated:

OS: Windows Xp Pro SP2
Processor: Amd Athlon 750mhz
Ram: 640mb pc133 sdram
Video Card: 128mb Geforce4 Ti4200
Connection: DSL

Thanks again Hope to see all of you online soon

Edit: Oh and if it helps I just checked...and my FPS = 0.3 - 0.5 (sigh)

Edit: Graphics driver is Nvidia Forceware 71.84 (Released March 11th)

Hehe, running with acceleration off was horrid...it took me 5-10 minutes to walk up a set of stairs.  Maybe when I get to upgrade to my 3ghz system...Thanks though.

Have you tried updating your video driver? That could solve your problems with hardware acceleration.

Ouch, and Nvidia is a good video driver. Radions are the ones who tend to give problems in PS.

A word of warning though, 750 MHz is pretty slow for planeshift, I used to play on a P3 866 MHz, and in some parts, most notably the plazaa, I got some really bad framerates.

I still think there was some problem in the migration to the newest version of CrystalSpace. The version .8 didn\'t have such big lags at the plaza
