thanks bladnoch!

i have one more task from you , other users with your graphics card reported that the game ran fine (with no graphics glitches)

Can you please download and install the latest version of your graphics card drivers? and repeat all of this tests?
I took the liberty of looking for your drivers myself: You can download the drivers from: here: http://downloadcenter.intel.com/SearchResult.aspx?lang=eng&ProductFamily=Internet+ Devices&ProductLine=Nettops&ProductProduct=Intel%C 2%AE+82945G+Express+Chipset

thanks again!

Without safe mode I crash after pressing play. I've attached the backtrace.
I'm running Ubuntu 9.10 RC amd64 with an Asus M3N78-EH motherboard and an Nvidia Geforce 9600GT GFX, driver version 185.18.36-0ubuntu8.

EDIT: when trying again the same crash happens, and a similar backtrace is generated. The only difference is that the memory addresses have changed. Running in safe mode I do get to load and play the game.
I can confirm my FPS increased a lot, 6 times the old value. A question: what's the OAB thing left of the FPS in the information box?

Thanks for the quick reply Chilko.
I tried to install what you gave me, but durinjg installation it cancelled because I didnt have the right requirements apperently. I did select the XP Home Edition and the latest installer, etc but it wasnt having it.
After looking through the terms of agreement, I saw that my type of Chipset wasnt included in the list of Chipsets that could be updated with this program. I think I may have hit a brick wall here.

crashed after pressing play

On force safe mode it's ok, check screenshots, however I do get fps spikes and there are some graphical problems (screenshots)

If I try to play with normal settings, it always crashes just after selecting my char.
But it works under safe-mode.

A bug I have noticed :

[Znurre]

I've done alot of testing of the engine during this testing phase.
These are the bugs I've found so far:

• If a fort/castle door is destroyed, you cannot enter the fort/castle.
  There will be like an invisible barrier.
  If the door is there, and the fort is yours, you can enter as intended by double clicking the gate.
• During nights and certain times of the day, all textures will get messed up with weird colors.
• The game will crash when loading the world if Terrain Detail is turned on.
• The View Distance option in the settings is not affecting anything and a restart of the client will reset its value.
• Many animations will just render black artifacts, and some are not displayed at all.
• You can walk along the slope in in hills without falling down, which was not possible using NG3D 1.0.
• The character preview on the character selection screen is displayed without weapon/armor.

Apart from the problems already mentioned ive found none.

Interesting point though, if i play in windows with direct3d, i let a lower fps when i max things out than i do in opengl.

If i force safe mode for both, i get a higher fps on direct3d than opengl

Under linux, im noticing the same things as znurre

[Flocke]

I have no TestServer Folder all is in the LiveServer folder and I can't change the language.

First picture:
Level Up

Second picture:
Press V and click on a mob

Third picture:
I removed the torch to use a weapon, then I logged off. Now the quest is over and at the login I have the torch in the character's hands. In attacking mode my character does nothing. He stands and makes damage.

I get exactly the same crash as Nel_ when enabling Terrain Details

From some testing today 26/10/09 I found these visual graphic bugs:

Arcane Devotion:



Arcane Projection:



Mind Push:



Static Field: <-- The same chunkyness and thinkness of the graphics are the same on Energy Barrier, however I'm unsure if these are just new looks, or a bug.



Metabolic Control:



Wind Wall:
