wc3:tft runs extremely slow, have ati drivers installed (i think)
After tediously reading LQ forums and using google to the point were my eyes were bleeding, I was able to get WC3 to run, even able to gain access to battle.net. The problem I face is that it is so slow I can't even use the mouse properly. The cursor just lags and skips when I try to move it. I know that wc3 should be running better because I have a 2.81 gig processor, 1 gig of ram and 256 radeon 9600. I try my best but I can't figure it out. Maybe my ati drivers aren't configured properly? Before the installation of the drivers tux racer and bzflag would lag in the same manner, and after the installation they ran smoothy. I am very new to linux. Please help.
This is kind-of a shot in the dark, but to you have pthreads enabled? You'll probably also need to enable POSIX shared memory in the kernel and in the fstab, like so (although this might just be an ATI thing; I don't remember):
Code:
tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
I hope this helps. Does anybody else have an idea?

edit: do you have Enemy Territory installed? I'm more familiar with that game, and since they might both have the same problem on your system, I would probably have better luck fixing it for you. http://enemy-territory.4players.de:1041/
Also, try running WC3 (and ET if you install it) in the terminal and post the output.

I'm not exactly sure what you want me to do with the tmpfs deal and I don't currently have ET installed. I'm in the process of downloading ET and we can go from there. (on a side note, the code tag wasnt working for me thats why i used quote)
edit: Do you want me to do tmpfs from command line, or edit the kernel? If so, how do I edit the kernel? (keep in mind I'm very new to linux) sorry, and thanks!
Hmmm...are you running WC3 using a Linux installer, or from wine/cedega? I'm not sure what to make of the code exerpt, other than something is wrong with your OpenGL configuration. Try copying that bit about tmpfs and putting it into /etc/fstab, then running "mount -a" as root from the console. Then try running WC3. If this works, you don't need to edit the kernel. If not, you might, and we'll go from there.
Also, if my memory serves me correctly, you can try running "glxgears" and "fgl_glxgears" from the console. Please do this and post the results.
I just tried running wc3 again and I got this weird error:
Code:
err: o pengl: process_attach X11DRV not loaded. Cannot create default context.
fixme:win:SetWindowTextW cannot set text L"Couldn't open Game.dll." of other process window (nil)

fixme:ttydrv:TTYDRV_GetBitmapBits (0xe48, 0x77e3218c, 128): stub
after I get that message my terminal is all messed up and I can't type in it anymore.
edit: It seems wc3 works but sometimes that weird error comes up. After running it again this is what the terminal returns:

Okay, forgot everything that happened. What you did helped with the fstab add on. It seems I copied down the wrong command for wine and I did -- -opengl instead of -opengl. When I changed this it all worked. haha, thank you so much for your time.
