Death Realm Glitch and No Sound

[Ghosts|Jestal]

Having problems in the death realm. The screen freezes for the most part, but when something does show, the textures smear and go all over the place. I have to use my friend's laptop every so often in order to view it properly because he doesn't have a generic card. I was told by a GM that I need to stop asking to be moved in the death realm...how exactly am I suppose to get out when I have no way of getting on another computer [the only time I'd ask]? Please help me with this issue. It isn't that I am trying to avoid the curse because I do ask to be transported to the Teleporter to Oja, it's basically the fact that I can't see well down there. And I also have no sound...I tried the sound fix on previous posts with the CFG file, but never worked. Any tips?

Your GPU is no good.

nVidia is the best for playing Crystal Space based games such as PlaneShift.

Dakkru doesn't find you attractive nor suitable.
I'm not sure if the Goddess found your soul too weak or your strength lacking.

Xoel is right, I have the same (similar?) gpu on my laptop and suffer the same problem... However, my custom built desktop with an Nvidia GTS 250 runs like a champ, doesn't even stick on the ladders. I have managed to get through the DR on my laptop but, requires super zoomed in cameras, side stepping, and a lot of patience. Consider it an extra Dakkru's curse and even more incentive not to die. Good luck Ghosts|Jestal and I sympathize...

...Perhaps your underpants navy was far too ill equipped on their broadside cannon to interest her in a naval battle.

Then again, this could be your problem too...

I'm not sure, whenever I run through the Death Realm I try to avoid the dark lady. She's not warm and loving, to say the least.

Dude... did you just disagree with yourself? XD

Mmm, no. I was poking fun at him.
The naval analogy was sarcastic.
My line about avoiding Dakkru was not.
They don't disagree.

I have a BA PC but the motherboard died so I can't use it at the moment...but did you have problems with sound?

At least you can back me up about my problem..apparently someone watched me get out of the DR, but as I said before to the GMs, I use my friend's laptop [which lives in the same complex as me] when I get stuck, but if he's not available I go to the help tab and see if anyone can help me or PM a GM if I see them on the list. I am not trying to make this a big deal, I was just hoping maybe for a fix for this? I can try to upload another video to show further detail in the issue.

Sounds was seriously buggy when I started playing so, I have actually always played PS without sound... I honestly can't tell you if there are any problems since I don't even have sound enabled.

[Ghosts|Jestal]

So I turned down the FPS all the way down and the view distance down and it was not as buggy! But...their is still areas that messes up too

I don't think the problem will ever be fixed, it's a driver issue on your end, not a problem in PlaneShift at all.

In other words, you should be complaining to Intel for their crap drivers, not at PlaneShift because your driver is crap, if you see what I mean.

I should complain to dell for picking s****y hardware for their laptops

note, cheap laptops have shity graphic cards too like intel, s3, via, sis and maybe some other.
the best thing to do when buying a laptop is either look for one with a nvidia or ati card, they tend to get pricier fast though even if there are cheaper models of these cards.

[Elvors]

The Intel drivers aren't that crappy, it's just low-end 3D chips. You can't expect full performance on these.

That said, it's still a sign of problems in CS (Crystal Space) if 0.4 ran smoothly and 0.5 doesn't.
On the other hand, it's hard to test for every chip and every driver that's out there.
On the third hand, completeness of testing with graphics drivers is one of the differences between high-quality and not-so-high-quality graphics libraries.
On the fourth hand, switching to another graphics library is probably not an option.

Back to the problem at hand - have you tried downgrading the graphics settings in the launcher?
Some settings can have a dramatic impact, particularly on low-end cards.
