Ok- some preamble - debian sid, with 2.6.11.11 kernel, Nvidia 5200fx pci card (ouch) and other DRI apps working fine. Running Xfree86 with Nvidia driver 7167. Downloaded 121b version of the Linux patch which installed with no problems. Mounted CDrom to /cdrom.

I'm getting this after choosing the "garden":

Any idea of what is causing this?

TIA.

demo ran fine a couple of weeks ago.

Hi, try changing the RenderLandscapeMode in your preferences file (~/.darwinia/full/preferences.txt) to 1 (or 0).

[kabads]

Thanks John - It now works, but with only 10 fps. Any tips for a speed increase?

decrease the screen resolution
set various detail levels to lower quality
turn off the pixel effect

That might help a bit. I am sorry, I don't know video cards that well (me being a Mac person and all), but the 'ouch' by your video card implies that it is not all that great? Graphics cards have been a major bottleneck for framerates on most systems. However, if it is the card, lower settings should help.

When I installed the demo it worked with a considerably higher framerate than that of the full version. I'm not sure what the settings were for the demo, but the quality of gameplay and speed were far better than that of the full version. If I remember correctly, they were the highest settings for the demo. The ouch mentioned earlier was referring to my pci - I really would like an agp card now, but hey ho, my salary doesn't allow for everything I want.

Anyway, even with the lowest settings throughout, I'm still getting 10fps, which is much worse than when i played the demo.
