The totally SMOOTH GFX Engine.
 

-Stefan

It's truly beautiful on my Pentium 2, 128 MB RAM,

I move ever so slow across the map. I hit F3, hoping to turn off those damn lights, wait! There's NO BUTTON!!! Honestly, I don't care whether or not the DEVs know if I see the lights or not. I want them off, because my income is extremely low, can't earn a better computer AT ALL, so this is basically taking Graal away completely. I already lag terribly on Era, what's with the more torture?! Just add the stupid button and let me play. Anyone else that has a bad computer, please post here as well. Maybe we'll manage to get that one important button back.

[] Turn off Direct3D (lights)
Best. Button. Ever.

Direct3D lights are an important part of Graal, disabling them takes away a lot of the atmosphere from several places.

I would like to see, however, Graal 4 having OpenGL support for drawing graphics, though. I found that Graal 3 was much quicker with OpenGL.

I agree I used to turn off the light, when I was new because of the lag. Then I turned them on and really dont care anymore most servers look far better with the lights on. Also people can use lighting in quests and for atmosphere and not worry about people not seeing it.

:whatever: If only you knew how much I was suffering.
Oh wait, Look!

Seriously, if anyone has this "affinity" for the atmosphere, that's why the button is there!!! So then the atmosphere lovers with their newfangled computers rejoice, while we poor hoboes can actually have fun at a game that can ACTUALLY play on our computers.

Lights not only add to the atmosphere, but to the game play as well... If you turn lights that might give you an advantage in the game that the developers did not want you to have. They might've used light effects for something other than making the server look pretty.

You have a Pentium 2 with Windows XP? I seriously doubt it. Update the graphics card driver please. Graal v4 has been tested on computers with only 300 Mhz and I was able to start several Graals without slowdowns.
It is not really possible to turn off light effects since it is also required to draw the GUI and text. Servers could theoretically make it possible to turn off some effects, although then you should also use that (right click on the Era gui to change the transparency, after a few clicks it will be non-transparent).

Edited:
Windows 2000, dude.

And, I said that I have low income. A graphics card is like... wow. It's like buying a boat with 5 dollars. I make $2.00 a week.

I have used this makeshift Star Wars Compatibility checker to kinda show you where I am.

He said Graphics Card Driver. Those are free to download from the web.

Also, out of curiosity, where do you live?

Mississippi.

Where can I find a graphics card driver, then?

All the ones I've tried have spyware, hard to actually put INTO [the hard drive] the computer, and also don't make a difference. Most of the ones you have to pay for seem to work, but no cash on me.

Edit:
I need a new GFX card too. Seriously.
Turns out that the one that I HAVE in this computer is built-INTO the computer's motherboard.

I find it hard to believe that you make $2.00 a week. Last I knew there was such a thing as minimum wage in the U.S... How are you affording internet access on $2.00 a week?
Open your eyes.

Hmm... 9 minutes 'till download.
I've got a 3D RAGE PRO AGP 2X on here.


Regarding Wages:
Where would a 14 year old be living? You tell me. I got this computer for my birthday, 2 years ago.

Edit: I have no idea what I'm looking for.

How exactly are you planning on turning off Direct 3D lights, when in OpenGL Mode? <_<

...?
