Re: Beta Test Application

Just verifying: the current test is for the windows version only, and there will be a compatibility test for Linux/Mac later, correct?

Re: Graphical Problems on Dell Inspiron 1420N

Wrangler:

The Penny Arcade Adventures game reported that the laptop in question doesn't have the GL_EXT_texture_compression_s3tc OpenGL Extension available. Would this potentially be the problem with Eschalon not running on my video chipset?

Some of these issues may also be traced back to video RAM size- do you know how much your laptop has? I believe we calculated VRAM requirements to be in the neighborhood of 64mb (128mb recommended).

Compiz is already disabled, it doesn't work with the chip set in this laptop. I am wondering if it's just a OpenGL problem with these drivers. I got an strace of the game running from the beginning, until the crash (it seems to happen after a certain amount of time into the game). It's 1.2 GiB uncom...

Yes, you get all three versions and can install them freely on any of your computers. If this is your intent, I would suggest you replace your EULA so that it contains language to this effect. The current EULA is very specific that we have the right to only use the software on a single computer or ...
