Please try following these steps, depending on the card that you have:

  • For ATI/AMD cards

Enter your ATI/AMD Catalyst Control Center and make sure that your card is set for Performance. Also make sure that Temporal Antialiasing is turned off. After this start the Client again.

  • For NVIDIA cards

Enter to the NVIDIA control panel then set the 3D settings to performance instead of quality and the Anisotropic Filtering and Antialiasing Mode to APPLICATION CONTROLLED. After this start the Client again.

Can my computer with an integrated graphical chip run Entropia Universe?

Generally integrated graphics chips have much lower performance than dedicated cards. To test if the integrated chip can handle Entropia select "Launch in Safe Mode" under Options and then test with "Low" and "Medium" settings within the client if that works. We recommend that you use dedicated video cards rather than integrated solutions for the best performance.

Why is my avatar all gray without any textures?

If your computer does not meet the system requirements for Entropia Universe, not all graphics will be displayed correctly. You can try lowering all graphics settings in Options on the Entropia Universe Login window and in Options inworld.  Apart from this, you should consider upgrading your computer.
