Hello,

I have previously played Widelands on the raspberry pi and I remember having to disable OpenGL or else the pointer would lag a lot

However I cannot seem to find the advanced/extended options in the options

Is there another way to disable OpenGL rendering or do I need to do something else.

I'd be REALLY grateful if someone could help me. face-smile.png

Hi User and welcome face-smile.png

Since build 19 (od Build 18?) OpenGL is needed for playing widelands. So it could not be disabled anymore.

It might be possible to track down when opengl was made obligatory, you would need to go over commit messages of the trunk and identify the commit and use and compile previous one by yourselves

Do you think it is still possible to play widelands smoothly on the pi and if so would you know how much memory(RAM) to allocate to the GPU?

Hmm so how can I play widelands on the raspberry pi smoothly? Maybe I need to allocate more RAM to the GPU? Or is the pi no longer a viable option to play widelands?

Thanks

I'm away from my Linux machine right now, so I can't do any profiling. We have no data on this.

OpenGL can still be switched off with Build 18 in the Advanced Options. https://launchpad.net/widelands/build18/build-18
