Eufloria runs extremely slow
« on: May 30, 2011, 09:34:08 PM »
So the game runs extremely slow in my machine. I have intel 946GZ Express Chipset with the latest driver installed from intel's website.
The chispet supports OpenGL 2.0 and yet the game runs very slow. I have the Steam version of the game and by slow I mean like 1 frame per every 2-3 seconds. Yes, no kidding. Takes like 30 seconds to click on anything.

Here is the report from the OpenGL Extensions Viewer:

Latest version of display drivers found
According the database, you are running the latest display drivers for your video card.

Compiled vertex array support
This feature improves OpenGL performance by using video memory to cache transformed vertices.

Multitexture support
This feature accelerates complex rendering such as lightmaps or environment mapping.

Secondary color support
This feature provides an alternate method of coloring specular highlights on polygons.

S3TC compression support
This feature improves texture mapping performance in some applications by using lossy compression.

Texture edge clamp support
This feature improves texturing quality by adding clamping control to edge texel filtering.

Vertex program support
This feature enables a wide variety of effects via flexible vertex programming (equivalent to DX8 Vertex Shader.)

Fragment program support
This feature enables a wide variety of effects via per pixel programming (equivalent to DX9 Pixel Shader.)

Texture anisotropic filtering support
This feature improves the quality of texture mapping on oblique surfaces.

Point sprite support
This feature improves performance in some particle systems.

OpenGL Shading Language support
This feature enables high level shading language for shaders.

Frame buffer object support
This feature enables render to texture functionality.

If your RAM is 128 MB, then you should improve it alot!

Unless this is all about the graphic card, though the game doesn't use the graphic card a whole lot, it uses more RAM and Processing power(CPU) then graphics card I guess.

Are you running the latest version of the game?
Older versions (I forget which) did not work correctly with Intel graphics cards.

The latest version is 2.07, you can check the version in the main menu of Eufloria.

Hello,

I have the Steam version of the game. In spite of this I installed the patch but the game still runs extremely slow.

By the way I have 2GB of RAM and 2GHz dual core processor, so the computer should be good enough (also the integrated intel vga).

I don't see what the problem might be then, I'm really sorry for not being able to help :/

Hi,

Try uninstalling and reinstalling the .NET framework, which is required for Eufloria.
