Salem Client by Ender

I'm not an expert, but that probably has to do with your videocard, try reinstalling video drivers and turning off shadows and antialising from the game options ( or the config files, if you can't get there ).
Also make sure that you didn't "force" anything in the video driver's settings (CCC has options to force AA on, etc... ).

Thank you. Problem was with OpenGL library.

Code: Select all

start javaw -Xms1024m -Xmx1024m -jar salem.jar plymouth.seatribe.se -res http://plymouth.seatribe.se/res/

And works like a charm. Note that depending on your machine, 1024 MB might not be a realistic choice for heap size. 512m is more traditional, but salem can eat a lot of memory. If you get memory crashes, play around with the numbers a bit ^^

Thanks a lot, that helped.

Actually, it doesn't work that well, I get a crash every 5 minutes, apparently as soon as the game tryes to load any file not already cached by the client itself started with the auto-updater ... maybe there is something wrong in my .bat file, could you please have a look at it?

Code: Select all

C:\Programmi\Java\jre6\bin\java -Xms1024m -Xmx1024m -jar salem.jar plymouth.seatribe.se -res http://plymouth.seatribe.se/res/

I've tryed with both java and javaw, same result.

There is nothing wrong with your bat.

If you start the game with .jnlp file then it will automatically download the files it's missing. But when you start with .bat it expects that all files are available locally. So you will have to download all needed files yourself. AFAIR there was some app on the forum which would automatically pull resource files.

Java is supposed to it on it's own ... given the right start parameters ... anyway, where is this app to download the res files? I searched the forums and found nothing, I also tryed to download them manually but, of course, they disabled listing (I'm not even sure it's *legal* to pull those files off the seatribe site and put them somewhere outside of the java cache ... ).

Seriously tho, the client is barely usable, I get crashes ( out of memory ) even using the jnlp file, since it only allocates 512M ... I tryed to force it to allocate 1024M but, every time I do, the game doesn't even start (cannot create JWM).

I hate Java so much ... ...

PLZ FIX ENDERS !!

Simple solution - live a life without crime. Stop looting.

But seriously - I can't find what's wrong with this. And can't catch loftar over irc to ask him for help debugging it.

I've been playing on my laptop for a few days and haven't been crashing like I usually do on my pc. But instead, my client freezes fairly regularly, maybe once every and and a half or so. It won't unfreeze, after a while my screen will just go black. It works fine apart from when it freezes. How can I fix this please?
