Egoboo Forum

I think I would be able to work with EgoMap (if it worked at all...), but I still can't get Egoboo 2.7.5+ to run - I don't understand why though, because 2.4.4b does run on my machine, although not as fast as it did on Windows ME. Currently I'm using XP.

Previous machine:
Windows ME, 1800 Mhz
256 MB RAM
Frame Rate for Egoboo: ~ 90 FPS

Current Machine:
Windows XP, 1800 Mhz
768 MB RAM
Frame Rate for Egoboo: ~ 5 FPS

Clonks, I take it you have tried to adjust graphical settings? And what are your hardware specifics?

Reducing resolutions and texture filtering are the biggest performance increases.

I already reduced the resolution to 640x480, and fiddled around with the graphics settings. Before I did that, it lagged so much, even in the menu I had to wait about 7 seconds for my mouse to recognize a single movement... Shocked

Hardware specifics? What do you mean?

Ahhh...
My video card... Uh, I actually don't even know what properties my video card has, neither which one I use... Embarassed

RAM is 768 MB.
Free disc space is 3,59 GB on my C drive (25%)
and 27,6 GB on my D drive (90%, Egoboo installed here)

Hmm, well that should be more than enough. As long as your video card properly supports OpenGL. Ehm, what about your processor speed?

1,8 Ghz.
And yes, OpenGL went very well before, and AFAIK it still does.

Hmm, you said you reinstalled ME to XP? Maybe you havent updated to the newest video drivers for your card.

I think this needs to be split into the help section.
Is someone going to answer the initial question of the topic?
