Error launching Amber client

Post by neHy9a »

I am having problems launching the Amber client. Each time I try to start Amber, I get an error and the following text(errors, I suppose):
1.54.2:1d958fb8fb25db4eed6511c3863d79b07db9b7ef

Every idea about what might be causing the errors is welcome!

If you have nvidia card - either update or downgrade the video drivers.
If laptop with nvidia+intel - make sure nvidia is used for javaw.exe and java.exe process (can be configured in their settings utility)
If only intel - try updating the drivers.
Same for AMD.

Ah Intel HD 3000.
Unistall Java. Download and install jre-8u25-windows-x64.exe from here
If the client manages to start - uncheck antialising, render shadows, and per-fragment lighting in Options -> Video settings before logging in.

Disable automatic Java upodates afterwards (through Windows Control Panel - > Java)

Tick the following in Video settings:
Disable flavor objects including ambient sounds
Simple crops
All settings in Disable animations list

Other than that, no. That GPU is really borderline for this game.
