2/3 of the screen is black

Please tell me what I can do to play this game on my system... It seems quite interesting.

run game configuration (ryzom_configuration_rd.exe from game folder if you cant see it on launch screen). disable everything under display and try either opengl or directx, whichever gives best results

Disabling all the options, gives me an error about the AGP setting, and still does not fix the problem.

Ryzom needs fairly strong (in features, not in power) video card and drivers. onboard or 'mobility' video cards most of the times do not have enough features, so you get missing textures etc.

if playing with config options and different drivers/driver options out of game does not work, then there is nothing else to do.
