Whenever you experience a problem, the first thing we'll ask for is the DropTeam.log file. This file helps us see what the game was doing while you were running it.

You will need to send us the log file from the session where you experienced a problem. The log file is overwritten each time you start the game so you will need to send it before running the game again.

On Windows and Linux, you will find it in the \bin subdirectory where DropTeam is installed. On Mac OS X, you will find it in the DropTeam subdirectory (/Applications/DropTeam by default).

Hi Clay!

I have been searching for the DropTeam.log file and have been unable to find it in ANY folder/Directory. I'm sure that it's just due to my inexperience at finding anything in Windows. (DAMN I miss my Ubuntu Linux!)

Ok! I found it!

This is the .Log from Ubuntu Linux.

The graphics are all muffed up, and the sound is too.

I can't see any text on buttons, and when playing 'Stand alone', the terrain is all white.

This line is in your log file:

MAIN: GL VERSION: 1.3 Mesa 6.5.2

That means that your system is using the Mesa library for OpenGL. This means 3D graphics are being done entirely in software, not by your video card. You need to install up to date drivers for your video card.

You can probably get started at some place like this: http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Installation_Guide

Hey Clay!

Well, I went to the Wiki and installed, (at least I THINK it was installed), the 'fglrx' driver, but still, I can't see any text when I start DT.

Actually, after the install, my box might not be using the fglrx driver because in my xorg.conf file, the driver is listed as 'ati'. I was thinking that it would list as 'fglrx'.

Here is another DT.Log after I tryed running DT after the update attempt:

I noticed that the GL version is still there.

Here is my /etc/X11/xorg.conf:
