Hi,

 

I'm testing out the game on my 2 year old laptop (specs below) in both Chrome and Firefox (latest versions as of the time of this post). In both browsers I'm unable to see past the 'Loading core' loading bar. However if I move the window or move windows over the viewport I can occasionally see an image of a bridge or something. It's like the framebuffer on an old machine. The framebuffer is being updated but the results aren't being pushed to the display properly.

 

How is the game rendered? Does it use software rendering or does it use the gfx card in anyway? I'll test the game out later on my main PC. Just about to test it in Ubuntu Linux, I'll let you know how that goes.

 

Specs:

CPU: Core i3 M330 @ 2.13Ghz

RAM: 4GB

GPU: Radeon Mobility 4500 series

OS: Windows 7 64bit Home Premium

The game is down for maintainace at the moment.


Far better to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure, than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, because they live in a grey twilight that knows neither victory nor defeat.

As stated above, it is down for maintenance right now, will be back up shortly :)

 

Also, you will have no problems playing on a laptop with those specs, very similar to what i use.

Do you have Java 1.7 installed? Its entirely software rendered at the moment, so it ignores the GFX card.

Will there be an option to have it use our graphics card in the future?

It must of come back up whilst I was updating Ubuntu. It runs fine in Chrome in Ubuntu btw :P. I'll give Windows another try. For the future it would be good to have a maintenance message pop up when trying to load, but I'm sure that's in the works.

 

Thanks for the quick replies.

To install Java 7 on Ubuntu please refer to this website: http://www.ubuntugee...untu-12-04.html. It's a bit technical, but seems to get round some problems. If you have Chrome I'd suggest using that.

See how you get on and get back to us.

I'm playing fine on ubuntu 12.04, firefox 22.0, java 1.7.0_25 from Oracle. Tried openjdk earlier, but had some issues with keyboard sometimes not responding inside applet. JRE from Oracle is not licensed as ubuntu would like it to be, so it is slightly more difficult to install, but the game runs without any problems apart from low fps rate. I understand that's because game doesn't use opengl so its all on cpu. I hope devs are working on using opengl, or at least planning to use it, because thats the only thing that this game lacks to be really great.
