I'm having trouble with my ati graphic card
Ati and linux does not walk 100% successfully hand in hand because of thier drivers, even though ati has been ordered by amd to make proper drivers they don't seem to be ready yet.

I recokn' there was a guide somwhere but I can't remember where it is

------------------------------------------------------

it says my card is too old

have a look at this HOW TO

-------------------------------------------

I accidently dragged my chat window out of the screen so I can't drag it back

[i]you'll have to change to another solution in game, log out, log back in and before you enter the game you go into options and change it to your previous(and possibly desired) solution and it should be reset.

All the problem i'm gonna list aren't linux specific, but design specific IMHO, here they are:

- free() more than once on pointers, that causes a crash if you don't set your environment correctly.

- preferences for combat log not saved.

- can't exit game if you lost connection (really hate that one when playing fullscreen). It happens when you're internet connection fails.

- can't resize anymore the inventory window.

- I get kill all the time, that must be a bug

I have actually only been able to get it to display the Inet ping once, and that was just a random coincidence.

Keep in mind that I've been playing for ages, and usually have the ping window up every time...

the inet ping doesn't show up when I press alt+p while there's a lag, may it be connection or serverwise

Often after a crash, when I relog I appear where I was 5 or 10 minutes earlier, all of what I've done in the meanwhile have been forgotten, it's really annoying when doing a quest.

And yet this is another broken design of the integrity of the data. It must be fixed ASAP (as lag), IMHO.

I think I'll be working on this thread tomorrow (saturday)

if i play under fedora 8 with lastest openal and nvidia drivers and all resources downloaded, the music is out of sync and go loud then quite then loud again

ok, were shell I start...?
1. Sometimes when quiting the game it also restarts the Xserver (Ubuntu gibbon).
2. Sometimes the game crashes for no reason (must be my ATI videocard, he is good but the game support of it under Linux is lame),
3. Sometimes the game disconnects and I can reconnect only after 10 minutes.

Well - the client has an annoying ability to keep forgetting the resolution that I want to play in - so each and every time I have to change it from 800x600 to 1280x800.

I experience a few seg faults - where can I post logs?

The in-game help doesn't work. If I click How to Play in main menu it just gives me a blank space, which is irritationg, since i'm just new to this game and I wanted to learn how to trade with other players yesterday and I couldn't look it up.
The menu of the guide works though -- I can select a category, it just doesn't display any text in the window.

What's the only problem I have on Ubuntu 7.10 Gutsy Gibbon with 512 MB nvidia GeForece 7 7500 card, all other things work

[grisen]

(Running Ubuntu 7.10, compiz switched off, nvidia GT7950)

Alt+tab doesn't work. (I'd like to be able to pop out to the desktop, check e.g. spell info over at Zona de Guerra, and then pop back in, rather than having to quit.)

Switching between workspaces doesn't work.

That said, I am delerious with joy that you bothered to do a linux client at all. Thank you ever so much.
