another 3d video card
Mon, 07/30/2007 - 02:38 — slin
Hey guys, just checking out this engine.
I have a geforce 4mx (can barely run doom 3) yeah I know I need to upgrade (and get some more ram) I think soon I'll just go up to a geforce 6600 but im not sure.
Anyway, I'm hoping to use this engine, I figured I could just check it out easily and click on the exe that comes with it. It did not work, so my question is
Is that exe something that I should be able to run? Or is my hopelessly outdated graphics card just not going to cut it.
Hi Slin, and welcome to
Hi Slin, and welcome to Sylphis!
People are actually having a fairly consistent set of issues with the binary releases, so I'd recommend compiling from source. (Check the documentation for a tutorial.) As far as whether your nVidia will run Sylphis, I'm honestly not sure. Harkal (the developer) would certainly be the one who'd know, and I'm sure when he get s a few free minutes to check the forums he'll be glad to answer.

Hello... (yes I'm alive)
Hello... (yes I'm alive) unfortunately your video card can;t run Sylphis3D... Sylphis3D is going in a more "shader centric" design so so old cards are not supported...
Well I got radeon x600 and
Well I got radeon x600 and it also does not work , It crashes on startup. log doesnt say anything smart and tryed to change things in system.cfg but it didn`t help here`s log:
