TECHNICAL SUPPORT / WEB APPs BUGS

Hello,
I was very happy when I saw that in mint 14 I could use the open source drivers and my games run fine.
I updated to 15 recently (KDE version) and the textures in Ryzom (an mmo I am playing) are a mess, they are black and I cannot even see the in-game menu properly. (Although in Mint 14 everything was fine)
Vendetta online and Heroes of Newearth run pretty decent though.

Ryzom is using 32-bit drivers, so that might points to where the problem might be??

Hello Hannadashliva

I have ATI too (in debian) and lot of problem with driver when there are updated.

I noticed that different clients run good or bad with the same driver. So, test
-client of sourceforge,
-static client by Shevek (original post here )
-ppa of Kervala (in debian sid, version for... oneiric onyx run good, but not other).
-compilate your own client (erf, good luck...). If you choose this option, visit ryzomcore and especially IRC (freenode, #ryzom) if you have problem, they know that... but it's very difficult. I'm not sure where is instruction for compilation, so search :p

And after... other solutions :

-Reinstall your driver, by zero.
-Try other drivers. Proprietary, or solution with smxi (during a time, i can run ryzom only with one solution in smxi).

Update is very dangerous for ryzom, i don't know for what. When I update, my other applications are ok, but ryzom don't want run suddenly and i spend time to correct this.

Thank you very much Laofa, for the very good and detailed answer as well as for the heads-up

I am trying the ppa now, pity though, it was a nice surprise that Ryzom worked well so easily on the last version.

I really hope that in future Ryzom will be less confusing.

Anyway, thank again :-)



..AAAAND the ppa WORKED, thank you VERY much Laofa :-))) :-D

I'm happy that can help you :)
