Glest is not without its faults, like all other programs, but you can fix most errors. The most common errors and their corresponding solutions are listed here.
Most of the bugs listed here are fixed in Glest Advanced Engine and MegaGlest or can be worked around easier by reconfiguring.
Common Problems and Solutions
- If a message saying "YOUR SYSTEM DOES NOT SUPPORT 3 TEXTURE UNITS, REQUIRED FOR SHADOWS" appears, disable shadows.
- Geforce2 cards don't support 3d textures, so just disable them in the config menu.
- “OpenGL extension not supported: GL_ARB_texture_env_crossbar, required for Glest”.
This means that your video card and drivers don't support this openGl feature. If you have an NVIDIA or ATI card you will solve this problem just by downloading and installing the latest video card drivers. You can bypass the opengl check by changing the "CheckGlCaps=1" line in glest.ini with "CheckGlCaps=0".
- When i try to load it gives me Error Setting Video Mode.
In the same folder where glest.exe is, there´s another exe called "configurator". Use this to switch the resolution to one suitable for your monitor.
- The ordinal (or reference) numeral (number) 11 cannot be found in DLL "DSOUND.dll".
Install the newest DirectX.
- How can I improve the speed?
Turn off 3D Textures, shadows
- It says I need OpenGl 1.3 at least to start it up?
You need to update your graphics card driver. Under windows, use Windows Update or go to your graphic card manufacturer's website.
NVIDIA Drivers
ATI Radeon Drivers
If not them try here, here, or here for more information.
- I press "Join" in the main menu but nothing happens.
If you are using Linux, you need to copy the servers.ini file from glest's program directory do ~/.glest/ .
- I receive an unhandled exception of "Failed to lock direct sound buffer"?
Download your soundcard´s latest drivers and install the last DirectX. Then if problems persist you can deactivate sound acceleration in dxdiag (start->run->dxdiag).
- What do I set as my resolution and refresh frequency in glest.ini?
The default can be used, or you can set it to your max settings. You will have to find this out yourself. For example, to find your resolution in Windows 7, you can right click on the desktop and choose screen resolution. Methods differ per operating system.
- How do I turn off Fog Of War?
Edit glest.ini and make FogOfWar=0
- I get this error "The Application failed to initialize properly (0xc0150002)." and can't play the game?
Try installing Microsoft .NET Framework Version 2.0 Redistributable Package (x86). - What is with this error?
open /dev/[sound/]dsp: Device or resource busy Exception: Couldn't open audio device.
If you are running KDE 3.x (as 4.x doesn't use ARts) as your window manager, you might find that ARts, the KDE sound server, holds the sound card open and prevents Glest from accessing it. In this case, Glest will exit fairly quickly with the message "Cannot open /dev/dsp: device or resource busy". It's best to suspend ARts before starting glest, by running glest like this: "artsshell suspend && glest".
