Mepis: Freezes after connection to server
« on: July 25, 2006, 10:15:05 pm »
Hello everybody!

I've just downloaded the current clien. Unfortunately, after I enter my account name and password, the screen that shows my characters just freezes. My dwarf (must be about 9 months old by now... I used to play ages ago) does about 1/4 of a rotation in the character selection screen, then everything freezes. The only way I can get around this without rebooting the system is renicing the process to prio 19 before logging in, then I can kill it by pressing alt-f4 for about half a minute. I don't get any error output, only this:

Code: [Select]

I am on an AMD Sempron 3200+, Nvidia GeForce FX 5200 with official nvidia drivers, running Mepis (basically a slightly modified and easy-install Debian).

Btw. is there any way to turn on logging? A "grep log ./*" in the install dir where all the configs seem to be only turned up a few options for the updater...

Thanks a lot in advance,
-grayFalcon


P.S. I figured out now that this has something to do with the character models - when I log in with an account that has no characters, everything is fine, until I select the race in "new character". As soon as the character model starts being rendered, the game freezes.

near as i can tell you either have a bad install of the ART files or your vid card is just screwin with you, downgrade the card drivers as far back as you can, that is if the newest drivers arent working.
