Little unstable...

May 15, 2003 GbyTe link
I have experienced that it becomes unstable and some game functions like buy buttons etc. wont work properly. I could still log out though. A game restart did however solve the problem, but i have exp. it a couple of times now, and would like to know if it is my system configuration... I'm using a newly installed Redhat 9.

btw. A buddy and I both have to do log in process twice to log in... It's just stopping at Connecting screen!!!

Cool game you got here =)

Could you be a little more specific? Station buying not working usually indicates a network problem.

I've tried everything to recause it to do it... and it won't...
It might have been a one time crash... Don't know!

System specs and net connection?

The good news is: I can't create the crash again - the bad is: what happened... I was at the moment running a Redhat 9, with standard installed kernel. My computer and net connection:

700 MHz Celeron
384 Mb SD-Ram
NVidia Gforce 2, 32 MB (running moments newest driver)
ESS maestro3 soundcard
on an 1024/512 Ethernet internet connection...

As I said before, I haven't experienced any problems like that since, and I have difficulties in recreating the events around the crash.

Ethernet internet connection? I'm confused... You mean you've got your computer hooked up to the modem (or hub/router/whatever) and a 1024 Kbit down/512 Kbit up internet connection?

My english isn't that good, sorry =)
Yes, it's a 1024 Kbit down / 512 Kbit up connection...

I have noticed that this can add some stability in some systems, especialy my old one with the TNT2... maybe you should try:

in /etc/X11/XF86config-4 add under the line
Driver "nvidia"
this line:

option "NvAGP" "0"

Well... That might make it more stable, but you'll be down to about 1/4-1/3 your old framerates. Your choice. :)

Thnks guys (its more stable, but think i those the framerate ;)

Rather than "NvAGP" "0" I run "NvAGP" "3".

This makes your system shoot for NvAGP first, but if it encounters any issues it will instead use the generic AGP-Art which is more stable but not quite the same boost.

If you use that "0" setting you have, in effect, cancelled your whole system's ability to render accelerated graphics and your framrates will bomb hardcore.

wooooooooooooow... w00t

Just tried that too...
2D gfx boosted like a heavy engine at full turbo =D
3D helped too...
