You wont be able to run Glest until next version with those drivers, since they support opengl 2.0 and the GL version detection stuff in Glest has a bug.

Well this doesn't work with my card, too, I already tried.

This bug should be fixed in 1.1.0-rc1, using the default configuration.

Crash
Version: v1.2.2
Time: Sat Mar 11 22:34:51 2006
Description: Access violation (Reading address 0x84c1)
Address: 000084C1

with Ati FireGl 8800 (8.062 driver) on W2k
just updated from v1.1.1
tried everything that i´ve read here
turn everything on,off,high,low....
the game run´s for ca. 10 mins, but i have one game that lasts nearly 20 mins because of loosing 80% of my population under attack.
maybe it has something to do with the count of units in the game.

but it´s a very nice game

greets from germany

It crashes on my system too. I have a Radeon card, of course.

I think I solved it setting the shadows off as Martinho told. Still didn't play for more than 30 minutes, though.

Nice game, I suck at RTS, but I'll do my best cause I like the fantasy ambient! :P Bye!

XP Problem :o(
« Reply #38 on: 21 April 2008, 02:37:31 »
Im having again what seems to be a very common problem as I use XP SP2 and cant play the game for more than five mins without a crash. I know my pc has the juice to play it and I'm using a Raedon 9600. I can play oblivion, civilization and doom 3 so the graphics power is good enough just the game is screwing up 5 minutes in. The game seems great and reminds a lot of warcraft so I hope yous can fix this bug soon. Cant wait to play and try out some campaigns.

Many thanks for a great game

Horusofoz

(PS sorry for using the wrong lingo but I'm an Aussie that don't know squat about computers)

Cheers

Welcome to the forum. There seems to be problems with playing Glest on ATI graphics cards. I'm not sure what can be done about it, sorry.

Thanks Hailstone. Also good to see an Aussie on the GAE Team : )

Just to confirm it was the Raedon Card as I have since a new PC and have had no trouble with Glest period. Look forward to a campaign/story and maybe another couple factions : )

Thanks

Great, Horusofoz. I don't think it neccessarily is radeon cards in general. I have an ATI Radeon X1200 graphics card with 831MB of graphics memory. Glest works great! It might just be specific (older ?) versions. ATI is a very popular graphics card. I tried glest on my dads NVidia graphics computer, which is a desktop to put my laptop to shame, and to my surprise, it DIDN'T work. Odd that it can work on ATI radeon, which is known to have bugs, but not the Nvidia... Doesn't matter to me, though. He bought a new computer because a lightening strike whiped his motherboard and now his sucky new one looks puny compared to my laptop.

THE BEST SOLUTION TO ATI CRASHES IS TO UPDATE! :D
