None of those errors should be of importance. Or so I've been thinking, but I'll have a go at eliminating them in beta 7 and see if it helps.

Kalle, et all this is the same problem that I had. The clue for me was when you told me that you were working in Open GL. I solved it by going to Display properties-->settings-->advanced-->(your graphics card) in my case ATI-->Open GL. In the open GL settings I turned off the default settings and then adjusted Anti-Aliasing and Arisotropic Filtering. The key is to turn off "Application Preference" in both. I set Texture Preference, Mipmap Detail Level, Wait for Vertical Sync all to max on scale.
Works fine now. It even reduces the flashing when I drag the screen.
Hope this helps.

Waow, this is why I love our wonderful community! Thanks captain for the info - very valuable for the future!

I'll also check if I can do some changes in the code to be more specific when I request an opengl context.

Thanks!

Just for the record, it's also important to ascertain that your screen resolution is lower than that indicated by the "max screen resolution" in the open GL tab in display properties. The max screen resolution seems to vary with the antialiasing settings. So either change screen resoltuion or the anti aliasing setting.

I am having trouble with both the old client and the new one. The new one is permanently "waiting for weather data" and shows no boats, chat, or map. I am in Cape Town at the moment, and don't know if it is this African Server, or a different problem.

The old client says "Internal server error" sometimes, and other times gives the map, but with no boat or weather data.

Anybody having the same trouble?

+++++

Make sure you have the "www." prefix before the sailonline.org/

This solved it for me. Before that, I would open another IE browser tab and put the www.etc in and the new tab downloaded, but the original tab was still waiting.

I believe Kalle has fixed this.

Better still is to log onto the web site then click "Enter race now!" from righthand column. This works every time for me now.

Thanks... I'm doing that already actally. I am beginning to suspect the local server isn't all it could be.

Cross the Convergence 2026 - Cocos to Sagar Island


Kapil Muni, incarnation of Lord Vishnu, founder of the Samkhya school of philosophy, disturbed from his meditation, in his wrath reduced the 60,000 sons of Sagar to ashes, as they dug the earth to retrieve the sacrificial horse that Lord Indra, the king of the Gods, stole off Sagar, thus creating the Sagara (ocean). Aeons later, Bhagiratha, a descendant of Sagara, asked Ganga to cleanse the ashes of the 60,000 princes, and her resultant torrential fall from heaven created the great river and where it met the ocean, the princes’ souls were washed and raised to heaven and Gangasagar (Sagar Island) was formed. So, let us join the pilgrimages to Kapi Muni’s Temple (see above) and race 2400nm from Cocos Island deep in the Sagara thence, in rather rapid Rapido 60s.
