You musnt be running the latest version then. Because I have a 9250 card on one of my machines and it works great when I put that command in, 100FPS without shaders.

That command has only been implemented since the occlusion release.

Try disabling occlusion culling. Read the docs.

The command ati_texgen_bug 1 does not work, or do you mean it does not help you any?
I'm thinking if that command didn't help you, theres nothing else that will. Read the docs, all of this info IS IN THERE! If all the commands that disable things don't help you, then stick with cube or buy a new video card...I suggest NOT an ATI if you expect to run true openGL games, and/or you are running linux.
It's quite common knowledge that ATI driver support is sub-par to Nvidia ( especially linux support ), and I think the Sauerbraten game has proven this by using standardized openGL features that certain ATI cards have trouble with.

thats not even a true video card...it's an integrated chipset on the motherboard...and it's still an ATI.

This game supports all video cards that TRULY support opengl ( not the opengl of 1996...TODAYS opengl ). If you have troubles with it, start by blaming your video card ( or integrated chipset ). Try new drivers if available as well.

I have a gf6800GT, and even this card has some troubles with Sauerbraten. I must use the command floatvtx 1 for a texture bug that nobody else has...it's my card though, NOT the game.

Maybe you should ask yourself "why doesn't my video card support a standard opengl game"

Some laptops can run games and some can't.

My video card at work used to be a geforce 5600 or something and it got smoked so it was replaced with a Matrox. That pissed me off.

hi
thanx for clearing this up.

i knew the command, just not how to enter it :lol: not much of a gamer really, but cube has been on my computers since i found it. But this laptop of mine has been a real adventure!
I wish ATI would get off the pot! They make such excellent hardware, and then fuck it up by turning most of the opensource/gnu-linux community against them with their nearly ignoring open gl, etc.... why??? grrr.
oh well, what can ya do? i guess i will be going with (sigh...) nvidia next time.

:edit: my above post reads like an nVidia slag; it's not! the "sigh" is only 'cause i don't want to have to upgrade again. This machine has specs that should have lasted me five years.

That patch is only if the server is crashing...I assume your client is crashing? Please post system specs with crash reports...mainly your OS, video card, driver version. Also, next time you start the game, note the messages the console displays, as they might be a clue to help you.

Post your pc's specs, and I, or some other kind fellow will try to help you.
