Re: Demo is out
sorry to be a nuisance (it start to be a bad habit I know), but there is no manual included in the demo. Is it on purpose?

Re: Demo is out
I've seen the screenshots and the game looks like it will be pretty good.
I am new to this forum and to Dominions... I have looked around for the new DEMO... but no luck.
Can someone please provide the link for where us newcomers are able to find it. Not all of us are long-time fans of this game.

Re: Demo is out
In fact I already played with it a few mins.
I am really impressed, the new gfx + UI is very good! I love the demo so far.  |

There should be an update or refresh button on your browser to tell it "no I dont want to see the Cached copy, I WANT you to go get a fresh copy". Its one of those "user friendly" (user obnoxious) things

Re: Demo is out
I think my work computer definitely needs a video driver update for OpenGL programs! 550MHz computer, ATI 128 graphics (I think on-board video...), and I get about one or two frames per second, in theory, even running at all the lowest settings.
Well, I'll be more productive at work! ;-)
Seems like the Shrapnel "Requirements" page may need some more detail.

The -x switch might help if it runs too slow for you.

I was going to post that you didnt read my post to the end Johan, but somebody cleared the issue.
So some of us are stuck with ATI 2002 drivers. Do you know some other tricks :
open gl generic drivers for example?
if I install a linux partition, which driver will it use? the ATI provided one, or something delivered by the linux install?
if I use a linux install, AND I run WINE to run the windows Version of DomsII, which driver the emulator use? A proprietary one, or the one used by linux?
I'm searching for work around solutions... As of now the tactical battle are barely viewable (6 FPS and 3 seconds delay between each spell casting)
