Ryzom

The sound is the city music not being buffered properly. Does the loading music work? Which OpenAL implementation are you using?
Water is shader related. Which graphics card, and which drivers?

Do you have a log of this specific session?

Please, instead of using presets to configure graphics settings, could you enable/disable manually bloom only (in special effects) and check if shadows works better or not ?

There's something wrong with the resolution of your z-buffer. Or in any case, your z-buffer is no good.

That, or a synchronization issue with the pixel programs in your graphics card caused by a faulty graphics driver implementation.

And how do you explain this?

Is a screenshot of Ryzom on the same laptop with the same disto!!
the Z-Buffer and synchronization issue is a X.org related?

How did you fix that please ? (If, like I understood, your last screenshot seems ok)

That's a old screenshot from 2011-11-27!!
on the same laptop, with the same distro (Parabola GNU/Linux-libre)

and deleting (well, just moving) my xorg.conf just doesn't works either!
fail :(

other games (Xonotic v0.6, 0 A.D. v10, etc.) works fine and smooth on my laptop with the same distro but Ryzom doesn't. I'll be filling a bug report...

Please could you try to compile a client with a very old revision from 2011 and check if the problem persists ?

Btw what client did you use in 2011 ?

Did you compile it yourself or did you use the official one ?

I always played Ryzom building the client by myself (like a real macho!!). I'll do that, just to try and see what happens. Nonetheless, I found that I'm not the only one in such situation, this bugs appears in other games as well, check the screenshots of this bug https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=39730
I did my report too https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=55746#c0

Thanks :)
