VO ran fine on my intel based laptop. My chipset is GM915.I was playing Vendetta fine in edgy, then I did a clean install of Feisty, installed the new intel driver (sudo aptitude install xserver-xorg-video-intel) which removed the i810 driver I was using with 915 resolution. Now I get a message "Vendetta online beta test has crashed"

I tried switching back to the old video driver, but 915 resolution won't work under Feisty. I tried several fixes to no avail...but direct rendering is working either way, and the game should play in 1024x768 anyway.

Any clues or has anyone else had this problem?

Thanks!

Ummm, did you redownload the installer from the website? Thats a very odd message you are getting there, seeing as how VO has not been in Beta since 1st Nov 2004 >.>

yes i got it from the website...weird. Oh well i am switching back to Edgy anyways. I will report back, if anyone is interested.

Well, if you continue to have a problem, you might find you get more of a response if you post to the bugs forum.

If you still have the problem, please post the contents of "glxinfo"

I have the same problem with my Intel 945GM. Vendetta tells me this in my console when I start it:

Mesa 6.5.2 implementation error: i915_program_error: Can't (yet) swizzle TEX arguments
Please report at bugzilla.freedesktop.org
vendetta: intel_batchbuffer.c:145: intel_flush_inline_primitive: Assertion `intel->prim.primitive != ~0' failed.

I'm running Ubuntu Fiesty Fawn as well. I used the window that popped up to send a bug report.

somebody had the same problem on the irc channel a while back. Try disabling some features in ~/.vendetta/config.ini. He didn't report back, so I don't know if that actually helped or not.

YES!! Solved it...disabled shaders in config file. Thanks for the suggestions all! :)

Thanks for the tip... I had the same problem as JockeTF with my Intel 915 integrated... setting "doshaders=0" in ~/.vendetta/config.ini worked.

Hmm, ok. I am going to force shaders to 0 for all 915 drivers. I can't believe that driver shows support for ARB_fragment_program.
