I have this too. Messages on the top of screen mean that your videocard dont supports some good things, like fancy water and other beautiful things (use numpad + and - to scroll messages). I dont know what mean 'no texture recentangle support', maybe tat's is the problem.

That "no texture rectangle support" just means you can't do Blooming - I get that error.

I've got an ATI 9600, and it runs Sauer just fine (but no blooming) except for when I look at water, where it runs very slow. Anybody know the shader command to disable the new water?

Its irrelevant if your copy of Windows is pirated.. what are you, a Microsoft representative?


Anywho, you might just have a GPU that is too weak. My Radeon 7500 simply cannot handle Sauerbraten at all, it isnt designed for older cards. Even after running it in 16bit mode @ 320x200, I get the same FPS. Intergrated graphics or older graphics cards simply do not go well with Sauerbraten.

While the rest of your system specs seem fine, your intergrated graphics chip is never going to let you play any decent games. Buy a standalone GPU (try the GeForce 6600GT) or stick to old games..

512 MB RAM is damn little if your graphics card eats some away, too. I'd first buy another 512 MB of RAM.

it is not a gfx card if it takes ram away. it is simply an integrated graphics chip. Most of them are very slow :!

Hum, i wanna know why i can't run Sauerbraten in 8-bit mode :x

I noticed when i try that...

init: sdl
init: enet
init: video: mode
init: video: misc
init: console
init: gl
Renderer: GDI Generic (Microsoft Corporation)
Driver: 1.1.0
No texture_env_combine extension! (your video card is WAY too old)

It works fine in others mode. >_<

I think it will make better FPS than in 16bit mode (already and already).

In 16/32bit mode, my renderer is GeForce/xxxxx/3DNOW version 2.xx.x.x.x

I think it can help me... no ?

Try playing it at 640x480 or even 512x364 if you want to play online etc etc, for editing set all the shaders to high again and run it @ 800x600 or 1024x768 etc (because I guess in edit mode you dont need all those precious FPS :)
