Oolite Bulletins

Cool! Welcome to the Ooniverse, Commander! ATI Radeon HD 2400 PRO Catalyst drivers here (if needed). Well, I've spent a few evenings wrestling with the controls of my Cobra Mk III: "Dubious Competence IV" over the past week: Great fun! Although I'd forgotten (from Elite) how difficult act...

Surprising update. In a fit of desparation, I tried installing Oolite on an old 2008 Vista desktop (since 'upgraded' to WIndows 7), similar processor speed and RAM to the laptop but it has an ATI Ratheon HD 2400 PRO graphics card in it: Hey Presto, it works! :D So it was indeed the graphics card (or...

My niece suggested I get an additional memory card and up the RAM to 8GB, that may just be a good idea anyway... On a 12 year old laptop? Good luck with that! Tell your niece to put her hand in her pocket, and buy you a new laptop. Haha. Actually, I popped the back off this afternoon and there is i...

Wow, this really is the friendliest Bulletin Board this side of Riedqaut! :D Yes, I wondered if the "dataCache.notFound" report might just be due to no game being previously played, hence no cached items. I did have a joystick hooked up (I'd been playing the flight sim to check that was st...

Things to try: update the intel graphics driver (should be straightforward); take a look at Oolite's Latest.log (might provide a clue).

OK, will do. Thanks.

Hi Cody, yes it's an integrated Intel graphics card. It's running on Windows 7 (service pack 1) and ostensibly it's got 4GB RAM, with a 2.5GHz processor (Intel Core i3 CPU).

Heya. As a brief intro: I played Elite on a friend's BBC Micro back in the '80s when I was at school, great fun. Then in the mid '90s I introduced my partner's son to Elite on the Amiga and we had great fun with it. My brother recently bought Elite Dangerous for his X-Box, which reminded me how grea...
