Conquest Forums – Simultaneous Turn-Based Strategy Game

[CornMaster]

I just decompressed and ran the Conquest file. It loaded the initial screen but didn't work properly.

I have a dual monitor setup, running at 2560x1024 (or 2 - 1280x1024) I get a black background on the main monitor, and the menu appears partially in between the two screens, except the second monitor retains the desktop background, so only half the menu is visible.

I'm running Ubuntu 8.10 on a 32bit system.

I tried editing the config file and setting the windowed resolution to 1280x1024 but that didn't work, the game just overwrote it with 2560x1024. I even set the file as read only, and it still loaded into 2560x1024 (although it couldn't rewrite the config this time).
Joining a game also shows this half of a screen issue.

The game also runs very slowly, but I suspect this is because of graphics issue.

I'm running an NVIDIA card, GeForce 6200 I believe, with the binary driver installed from NVIDIA through the Ubuntu 3rd party drivers interface.

Hope that is enough information to get you poking around.

Thanks

The resolution problem is most likely because that's the only resolution set in your X config file.

The slowness has to be your graphics driver's fault. Do you play any other games? Do they run fine? Try testing some newer or different drivers.
