did you install into a fresh directory or over a pre-existing installation (this is "considered harmful") - install into completely fresh directory!

If that's not it please give us some specs on your comp. and post the first lines of your stdout.txt (till engine has started up) here, that might help.

by conorkirk-where-is-my-cookie? on 10/19/2006 02:01

I already have, but here goes again


Dell XPS 200:

Pentium D 1.72 GHZ; 1.80 GHZ

Intel extreme graphics card 64mb

Anything else you need to know?


BTW: Windows xp professoional

also, it only happens when i try to update the masterserver or sometimes when i join a server.

It used to work with no problems on the same computer but now it doesn't :(

Maybe internet connection problems? I know Sauerbraten has always locked up for me when I try to update its server list.

Check your modem, open the necessary ports.. etc etc.

BTW That intergrated video card is definently the reason why you get lag.

Sauerbraten hangs on Mac OS X too if I choose to "update from masterserver" (at least on my OS X). I have to force-quit it then.

well, i have a picture of the empty chat messages

also, my internet seems to be fine, as cube works, so do older versions of sauer, and every other 3d game i have, and the video card isn't a problem for other games (eg: Halo, doom 3, quake 4,)

This error is totally obscure.
Chances are your system is corrupt or just plain to weak to run the game properly.

Please check your console output,
the chat message should be printed there.
Since you see other text output there is no problem with the display functions.

Maybe the guy just said " " (=space character ?!?

#18: rerebump

by conorkirk-where-is-my-cookie? on 10/28/2006 19:01

The guy didn't just say " " because if i type a whole sentence into the chat box it comes up as blank on the screen (not in the chatbox, but where it says Yourname: )

The chat text is printed on the console.

Well, I would upgrade my video card, but i am lost trying to find a good half-hieght one that could show shaders and the new water and still get a god fps :D

This computer is a stock dell xps 200: and i looked up sauer's performance (minimum) and the only things a miss are the


Video card: 128 mb (thats why i asked about halfheight :)
I have 1 gig of ram

dual core: 2.79 GHZ and 2.80 GHZ (the processor speed almost hits the ultimate :D)

So, any ideas on that card?

GF6600GT ftw.

Ehh not retail, its old now so not good value anymore. Try for a 7600GT, they're going pretty cheap. Or get a 6600GT on eBay, they are absolute bargains.

Anyway, a 6600GT will run Sauerbraten @ 1024x768 with a slightly sluggish FPS only in the RPG maps. In other words it is the lowest end card you can use to play highest detail in Sauerbraten perfectly without lag.
