Holes in graphics that fill up with traces of previous graph

[d0nat]

Running on intel gm965 graphics on linux mint 11 with compiz disabled.
when ran through terminal at one point it does state:

OpenGL::GL_EXT_compiled_vertex_array unsupported
OpenGL::Accurate Fog Distance unsupported
OpenGL::Generic Texture Compression supported
OpenGL::S3TC Texture Compression unsupported
OpenGL::Multitexture supported (8 units)
OpenGL::TextureCubeMapExt supported
OpenGL::S3TC Texture Clamp-to-Edge supported
OpenGL::S3TC Texture Clamp-to-Border supported
OpenGL::EXTColorTable unsupported

Might have something to do with it I dont know.
Please tell me what info is needed to troublehsoot this problem.

Thanks for your help.

I take it the game is not running smoothly.You may have to run the game in retro mode as the Intel GM965 is not very powerful that and make sure that you assign as much RAM as possible for it in the BIOS.

It does not make a difference if I set it on lowest or highest graphics. There are
holes in the universe.

[d0nat]

and the game itself runs pretty good on medium shader and graphics. it actually runs faster than in retro mode. but yes in retro mode those holes or gaps that show traces of previous graphics are not there

Hi d0nat could you post the result of running

Code: Select all

glxinfo

in a terminal that will give us the full capabilities of the graphics chip.
