Oolite Bulletins

So I looked at my system monitor on a hunch, and oolite is using nearly all my CPU capacity- Running at 100% whenever game is on.

and the defrag text issue is still gone, but the slow gameplay/response/graphics remain.

I was able to follow your great directions Getafix, and changed the shader. The results were mixed: No defragmented Text, but Far, far slower and jumpy gameplay, as if I were driving a v-8 with with 2 missing cylinders. Not worth the addition of the full text, which was nice to see though! Going to ...

Micha- I did what you recommended, but have not upgraded to 1.74 yet- still getting used to this linux thing. Getafix- What do you mean by "My favorite editor"? I backed up the GNUstepDefaults file, (Whatever the heck that is... :) ) and did a file search for GNUstepDefaults, found a file ...

So, I was able to run oolite from the terminal, and it loaded 1.73.4.- Yea. Far better game than 1.65. Yea! No flashing graphics- Yea. Fragmented Text problem still exists- Boo!! I am looking for the graphic card stuff yet. Terminal response below. Thanks to all for your help: May your thargoids be ...

It is my personal laptop, installed Ubuntu Lucid Lynx last month off install CD, running fine. I am just going to go back to the original Oolite via the software directory and muddle through without the com logs I guess.

So, I go to look at the game again and it is no longer installed after I shut down. Reloaded, same flashy graphic error, shut down, and no longer installed again. Brraaagghhhrrraahhh! My Commodore 64 was less trouble...

Of course, before I ask that I did some searching to see if I can figure out how to do that, but to no avail.

Merci!

success and failure- successfully loaded 1.73.4 to my laptop running Lucid. Now, sadly the screen is constantly flashing and my keyboard inputs are not recognized. Again, any help appreciated!!

Just discovered Oolite when I loaded Ubuntu Lucid Lynx and checked out the games. I was Majorly jazzed to see an elite type game, having happily played it in my youth.

However, I having the exact same communication and scripting problem on my laptop. Any insight would be appreciated.
