Running Ryzom on a small configuration - Technical Support

#1 Added by Guyouthefirst 10 years ago [en]

Hi,

I'm trying to run ryzom on a really small configuration (ASUS Eeepc 900a). It seems possible, but I'm unable to access configuration screen. So, I wish to alter settings directly in client.cfg. But I'm not sure how to alter various low levels settings(nb polys, etc.)

Can someone give me some tips?

Some configuration file examples?

Thanks in advance.

Check the cfg/ folder in your ryzom installation, you have the preset value in it. Take the one in client_cpu_1.cfg, client_gpu_1.cfg, client_ram_256.cfg, client_vram_32.cfg

Thanks for the tips. I used the lowest settings (I think):
cat cfg/client_vram_32.cfg cfg/client_gpu_1.cfg >> client.cfg

But this does not work. More precisely:

* the login screen works perfectly
* the avatar selector works, but really slowly and with CPU at 100%: it requires 1 or 2 seconds for each refresh (for example when some part of the screen are displayed after being hidden, or between each step of the fading/shading effect)
* the in-game screen keep desperately black with CPU 100%.

How can I fix this or understand what goes wrong?

Can you paste your client.cfg ? (use pastebin.com) I'm not sure how does ryzom behave if you define multiple times the same variable (for example if ZFar is already defined at 500, i think if you cat >> client_gpu_1.cfg it will take the 500 value and not the "new" 200.

Also, what is your GPU (and which driver do you use?) / CPU / available ram ?

EDIT : do you play the game in fullscreen mode ? it's often an issue on linux, causing black screen ingame

First: thanks for support

You can find my client.cfg at:
https://framabin.org/?99470f6ddb6bd331#g/Y7efempw1xEo0qDNb6bYHvZi 0WeTNR+UhB8UalRP4=

It seems that ryzom_client uses and saves the last value of each key multiply defined.

My GPU is:
00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS/GME, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03)

Driver is:
[ 16.263] (II) LoadModule: "intel"
[ 16.264] (II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/intel_drv.so
[ 16.307] (II) Module intel: vendor="X.Org Foundation"
[ 16.383] (II) intel: Driver for Intel Integrated Graphics Chipsets: i810,

I suppose OpenGL rendering is "correct" as I'm able to run minetest (minecraft clone) and glxgears runs (at 50 FPS max).

CPU is:
model name : Intel(R) Atom(TM) CPU N270 @ 1.60GHz

RAM available is 1 Go.

Try this one instead (all value at the lowest possible ingame) :

let us know how it works, your spec's are similar to my windows 7 tablet, so if it works i might try it on my tablet....
