I have 0 fps when I.m playing LOL on Linux

Post by Breack »

HI!

I will star by saying that I'm a noob on Linux but I want to learn.
I'm using an older laptop with Mint 15, and I'm trying to play LOL on it. I installed the game, everything was OK but when the game starts I can't do anything because I have 0 fps and everything is stuck.
I know my laptop is old (intel core duo 1.72, 2GB ram, and Intel 945 Express video card) but on windows I can play Lol pretty nice.

Please help, where is the problem?

The Intel Linux drivers are not equal to the Windows ones, especially for old hardware.

I wrote it a few days ago in another thread: One issue with the older intel integrated graphics was/is, that even if they were advertised as e.g. DX9.0c compatible, they couldn't do all shader model 3 functions in hardware (in some cases not even all the shader 2 functions), for more information see e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_Ext ... generation . The windows drivers emulated the missing hardware functions in software (driver). The linux drivers are missing some of that emulation, as soon as a game really uses the more advanced shader model 3 stuff, you'd have to expect issues. It may be justified to file a bug at intel, see https://01.org/linuxgraphics/documentat ... ort-bugs-0 . I'm also hoping that Valve's commitment for linux gaming may help improve that situation.
