Ubuntu

Post by chacham »

I'm running Ubuntu on my laptop and am trying to run factorio. It's loads just fine.

When i go to options/graphics, the settings are hard to read, and do not seem to change when i click on them. The slider bars do not seem to move either. Although, right now when trying, after clicking on things and trying to slide the bars, the Back button did not work. Killing the process and starting again shows the back button to work just fine.

The game has started in the past, but when i move, there is a lot of dragging of blocks (many part of the screen blur upon movement) and i have a difficult time reading the text.

A friend of mine loves this game, so i want to check it out. Please help me.

I seem to have missed the thread before. I have made all 4 changes from viewtopic.php?t=9300 and now settings works fine, with the alternate look of blocky buttons.

It plays now, but seems rather slow. (Maybe my laptop can't handle the game?) The graphics seem to "jump," and when the map moves, it leaves black on all the sides.

What are the absolute lowest settings for the game? Does someone have a config.ini file with the lowest setting already chosen?

Concerning your hardware that might be in sufficient, if you added a logfine in your post, we could tell you the likeliness of you being able to find a setting that is OK ok your laptop.
However, if you're far below the recommanded hardware, there is little chance we can help you at all.

Thank you for replying.

What are the minimum requirements? Hmm....
Intel(R) Core(TM) i5 CPU M 560 @ 2.67GHz
MemTotal: 3839516 kB

If it makes sense that this system can handle the game, how do i attach that logfile?
