-One of the most common problems with [[Wurm]] (and a lot of games) is ensuring that your graphic card is compatible. Wurm requires Java and OpenGL so forget about DirectX, there is no need to update to the latest versions or include this in your list of worries. Let's get Java out of the way. Go to http://www.java.com/download and click on the bright red 'Free Java Download' button in the middle of the page. Download, install and be happy. The recommendation is for a minimum java version of 1.6.33 and the action just taken will ensure this.

 This now leaves us with your graphic card to deal with. Wurm requires a minimum of OpenGL 1.3 and this is usually supplied as part of your card's video drivers. If your card manufacturer does not supply the OpenGL drivers or they are inadequate then often there is little you can do except get another card. As each manufacturer is different, the rest of this will be broken down into manufacturers. For each individual entry use OS / Version / GFX Card / Status where status can be ok, broken for fixed #nnn where nnn is one of the corrective actions added by contributors.

	Also remember that you will need a graphics card with the right output for your monitor. Most graphics cards and monitors use [[:wikipedia:Video Graphics Array\|VGA]] but some newer models now use [[:wikipedia:Digital Visual Interface\|DVI]]. There are many different types of DVI and they should all be compatible with each other. DVI gives a better quality picture than VGA, so if you are looking for a graphics card/monitor, try to buy ones that support DVI.

 Many built-in Intel graphics cards cannot run Wurm well. Even with low details the frame rates are still low.
-Sometimes the terrain will show a kind of red shadow. This can be fixed by installing the latest graphics card drivers from Intel. Version 5248 of the Windows XP driver and version 2291 of the Windows Vista/Windows 7 drivers are known to fix the red terrain.

 Some laptop manufacturers do not provide updated drivers so you may have to uninstall the manufacturer supplied driver and install the latest driver from the [http://downloadcenter.intel.com/ Intel website].
