NameColorizinghttp://www.fonline-reloaded.net/wiki/index.php?title=NameColorizingHow to get a tent?A tent is a small personal hideout that you can create in almost any random encounter map in the wasteland. Items stored inside the tent are safe, as long as you don't bring any other player there, which makes it a must have for any character who has no other way to store items safely.

2. With enough lockpick skill you can open footlockers in urban encounters and find some items.
3. Animals (Molerats, Dogs, Geckos..) are easy experience when you start playing. After you gain few levels and you have some good weapon, you should go kill some humans (Raiders, Trappers, Powder Gangers..) for better experience and some basic items.
4. Complete some quests or jobs for experience and caps.

http://forum.fonline-reloaded.net/index.php?topic=390.0Client troubleshootingWindowsLinuxClient crashes, loading screen stuck or errors during startup?1. Make sure that your client is downloaded from here:
http://forum.fonline-reloaded.net/index.php?topic=1.02. Make sure that your computer is up to date with
Update Manager!
3. Make sure you have installed Wine and latest graphics driver for Linux.
Wine ->
https://www.winehq.org/download/Wine Staging ->
https://github.com/wine-compholio/wine-staging/wiki/InstallationNvidia ->
http://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.htmlATI/AMD ->
http://support.amd.com/en-us/downloadIntel ->
https://01.org/linuxgraphics/downloads4. Run
Updater.exe to get latest files.
5. Delete all files from
cache folder and
fonline.log from main folder, then restart client.
6. Open
FOnline.cfg with text editor and make sure that your client connect to right server:
RemoteHost= 91.121.18.168
RemotePort= 2238
ORRemoteHost= play.fonline-reloaded.net
RemotePort= 2238
7. Use
FOnlineGL.exe, if your client crash during encounters with 3D critters.
3D troubleshooting for Linux by MonaSomething for the Linux section, troubleshooting.
I use Gentoo. Somehow FonlineGL is extremely slow and gives bad picture so I play via Wine. It's just perfect but when I encounter 3D critters, the game crashes every time. I have all the drivers installed.
To solve this:
1. Make sure you have 3D acceleration:
glxinfo | grep render
direct rendering: Yes
GLX_MESA_multithread_makecurrent, GLX_MESA_query_renderer,
OpenGL renderer string: Gallium 0.4 on i915 (chipset: 945GM)
2. Have DirectX installed:
winetricks d3dx9_36
Make sure you have this version, others most likely will not work.
Connection problems?1. Test your network connection with Speedtest:
http://www.speedtest.net/2. Check server status:
3. Reboot your modem and/or router, and try connect to server.
4. Make sure that your firewall and/or antivirus is not blocking the client!
