"Whenever I try to launch spring, I get 'GL_ARB_ENV_combine not found'"
Your graphics card or drivers do not have proper openGL (the rendering library Spring uses) support.
Various combinations of:
- Older graphics cards
- ATI graphics cards
- Old graphics drivers
- Using the Vista operating system
"I am getting terrible graphical performance (low FPS)"
This can be caused by several issues:
- If you have a Nvidia card and a dual-core CPU, turn off threaded optimizations for Spring in the Nvidia Control Panel.
- If you have the graphical settings on very high, or shadowmap resolution set high (above 2048x2048) and the entire map appears to be in shadow, turn down the shadowmap resolution. High shadowmap resolutions use a large amount of video memory- more than 512MB on your graphics card is generally necessary for 8192x8192.
"I am running Vista and I get habitual graphic driver crashes"
Run Spring in windowed mode, with the window size set slightly smaller than your desktop resolution.
Anything else
