* If even the menus are slow and you're on linux, have you installed 3D accelerated drivers?
* If you have OSX and you're seeing openGL bugs (weird things being drawn), have you tried using the SDL version instead?
* If you see all black with items and players floating around, do you have the current map downloaded? Try reconnecting to the server.

How to make a post
If you're still having problems, feel free to post it here.
Please make sure the title is not 100% capital letters, and that the topic relates to the problem so it is easier for others to search for.
In the body of your post, please include the following:
- Code: Select all
* Your operating system, graphics card model, and driver versions
* Version of nexuiz you're using (including whether or not you're using the SDL or GLX binaries)
* Full descriptions of what's happening. Give as much detail as possible. Provide screenshots and logs (see below) if you can.
How to include a log
When posting logs, please use a pastebin. Logs are usually very long, and make the page longer then they have to. The log is also more readable on a pastebin.
REMEMBER: if you normally use nexuiz-sdl, replace the first occurance of 'nexuiz' with 'nexuiz-sdl' on the last command.
Linux:
Open a terminal (varies with distro, you should know how to do this)
Enter the commands below:
- Code: Select all
cd ~/Desktop/
/path/to/nexuiz > nexuiz.log
Windows:
Go to Start > All Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt
Enter the commands below:
- Code: Select all
cd c:\documents and settings\%USERNAME%\desktop\
c:\path\to\nexuiz.exe > nexuiz.log
OSX:
Go to Go > Utilities, click on Terminal.app
Enter the command below:
- Code: Select all
/Applications/Nexuiz/Nexuiz.app/Contents/MacOS/nexuiz-osx-agl-bin > ~/Desktop/nexuiz.log
Please be considerate
