I just tried it out as well, crashes after the title screen. Never tried AO before on this stupid machine though, might be an unstable build yea. Tried with both OpenGL renderer as well as Software mode. Tried to tweak all the OpenGL options but to no avail. I'm using Windows XP, Radeon 9600, The 256*256 version of Eternal.
: That seems to be the problem that a lot of people are having.
: Well, that's good to know... maybe. Does that mean that AO for Windows is
: just unstable and there's nothing to do about it but wait till the next
: update?
: Yes. For one, without the MML the weapons display would be totally fucked and
: where you now see, for example, the Pfhorstaff, you'd see some misaligned
: HUD image or another and the words "WSTE-M5 Combat Shotgun"
: somewhere in there. The MML does what one once would have done in ResEdit
: for older scenarios. It's also what makes the new interface rects be where
: they are, amongst a large variety of other little things.
: And the texture replacement is neccessary because Marathon's texture CLUTs
: are extremely limited and can't handle the color variety in Eternal. It
: needs to run in true color. You could disable the whole section out of
: the MML file and get rid of the texture replacement and it would still
: run, it would just be ugly as ass.
: Speaking of which - are you running in OpenGL mode or no?
