stabak Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 ok here is my problem, Laptop without direct 3d graphics card i have added the string "+set r_allowSoftwareGL 1" to the desktop link, game is starting, and then it runs in a 1 second frequenc. like 1 second - 1 frame so if you have experience with this, i would be happy.

Chuckun Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 Argh I had this exact same problem at some point - I guess ET wasn't seeing my graphics card - but I have no idea how I sorted it :/ EDIT: I looked it up and so far only one reasonible response - r_depthbits 32 sometimes causes it, so put it to 24..

rolf Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 Not that I know a lot about ET, but software GL has actually always a terrible performance. What not-3d-card do you have? Even an Intel Integrated GPU is better than software GL, generally speaking. And yes, pretty much every (crappy) GPU will even support hardware GL, that is, I've never encountered one which didn't. What will happen if you set r_allowSoftwareGL 0? Will ET not start? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glyphz Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 did you download directx ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rolf Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Hmz, that is weird. That DirectX won't run is one thing, but hardware OpenGL won't run is quite strange. What are the specs of your laptop (manufacturer, type, cpu, chipset (northbridge), GPU?, OS, year?)?. Because if you're not-existing graphics device even can't render OpenGL -which I doubt-, I actually think your CPU is incapable of achieving over 1FPS.

I have tested it on 3 PCs. its always the same. hardware open gl is running fine on my main pc, but if i switch to software open gl its the same problem. (my main pc is a quad core with ati Radeon 5850. so normaly it should handle it.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rolf Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Yeah, because software OpenGL is pure crap and only used as a backwards compatibility, not for gaming. What a normal GPU would do parallel, like, drawing, your CPU has to do it then which will be sequentially. You should focus on avoiding software OpenGL rather than checking why it is so slow.

Anton Chigurh Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 1 question is this an intell integrated card? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stabak Posted March 20, 2012 Author Share Posted March 20, 2012 yes, its a intel 82852/82855 gm/gme graphics controller. it can only run with software open gl that is the reson why i want to use it on this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rolf Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 The 82852 / 82855 supports OpenGL! See http://www.intel.com/support/graphics/intel852gm/sb/cs-009058.htm Have you installed the graphics drivers? (see: http://downloadcente...ntroller+Family) Because, I'll say it again, softwareGL should always be avoided. Furthermore, pretty much every GPU (including yours) is capable of running hardware OpenGL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stabak Posted March 21, 2012 Author Share Posted March 21, 2012 wtf, i missed this. i had a old driver version instaled i have updatet all my drivers and its workig with hardware open GL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
