You're probably using an integrated graphics chip.
Get a dedicated one, either on PCI, AGP or PCI-E connection.

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.
