OpenRA

I've searched for help elsewhere, but gotten nowhere... so I figured I'd come here for advice.

I'm on a 32 bit machine running Ubuntu 10.10. According to lspci I have an Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 0c). When I launch the game from the terminal, the screen goes black for a moment, then I'm returned to the terminal with the following output:

Code: Select all

Using Gl renderer

  at OpenRA.Program.Main &#40;System.String&#91;&#93; args&#41; &#91;0x00000&#93; in <filename unknown>&#58;0

Anybody know what's wrong?

Intel integrated graphics chips have very poor feature support for OpenGL. You can try using the CG renderer by installing the nvidia-cg-toolkit and passing "Graphics.Renderer=Cg" to the game.

Thank you! That fixed my problem. Another quick question: when the game is in fullscreen mode it stretches the entire playfield across all of my workspaces. Anything I can do to prevent that?

This is again a driver issue - your driver is telling OpenRA that there is only one workspace, which we quite happily fill. You'll have to run OpenRA in windowed mode, or find a better driver.

Use nvidia-cg-toolkit (NVIDIA's C graphics compiler toolkit) too. It's not depend on the nVidia or ATI video card.
