Spring RTS Engine

Hello everybody

I'm trying to play some games on the Spring engine and a lot of them freeze when it says "Loading LuaRules". I put the visual details on minimum

I've had problems with a lot of games in 9.04 because of my Intel card. Hopefully this will change when 9.10 Ubuntu Linux is released next month (very soon )

Anyway, can anybody help me? I have to press the power button to close when it freezes and that is frustrating. On top of that, it doesn't work. I haven't played any games so far, but I have some that work but I'm trying to configure those correctly so they don't say "I won the game" messages as soon as I start...

Can anybody help me with the LuaRules freeze?

I would really appreciate it

Thanks guys

It's not a graphical problem - some Lua that is being executed on start-up is freezing. It's either a bug in the game you're playing, or a widget you're using. The most famous culprit of this is an automatic metal-extractor-placement widget that would hang when faced with an all-metal-map.

I'm glad there is some progress... how do I disable these widgets? The games I'm playing are apparently famous, e.g. BA...

I'd really like to play.

Thanks for the reply

.... wait, I didn't realize you were on Ubuntu, and thus have no idea of the issues at hand. Reading is FUNdamental.

Does that change anything?

tuahaa try disable lua shadows

Now, I don't see any textures on the map.

Got the same problem combination (freezing on lua rules, after resolving having no textures - all white). Using Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 07).
