Halp plex?

Yeah, that worked. Another update, I have to use the Aprq2 with the sw after the name, not sure why. And now I'm receiving the underwater crash again... Don't know how to fix, because the sw mode provides me with no options to change the graphics provider...

sheesh... sounds like an OS problem... should have some one help you solve the problem with your graphics driver/windows hating opengl... sw is software mode, and it looks like shit :/ opengl looks so much smoother i promise, q2 doesnt actually look that bad if you use the right client and textures...

Sorry for the consecutive posting... I can't view gamedemos D: used the /demomap command, simply says it can't load it.

if it was recorded in a mod like the railz server or on a tourney server you have to type "game rails" or "game opentdm" first otherwise it will just look in baseq2 instead of that specific mod folder... and no problem with multi posts, its your thread lol

My problem is that I manage to solve problems before you guys post back... Sometimes. Anyways, the most recent one.


UPDATE: Okay, 1. Wouldn't let me post the file to next problem, but I fixed it. Something in Pak9 was making everything very very brightly miscolored.

[Synikal]

But yes, that water problem will get annoying real fast.

Could be so many things; drivers, conflicting cfg's, wrong settings.

Something in Pak9 was making everything very very brightly miscolored.

Huh?? Then there's a config file in that Pak which changes the vid_gamma and gl_modulate settings...
Try to narrow it down first and get rid of those custom paks out of baseq2 (only pak0 and 1 are stock) and maybe even take out the stock config. Aprq2 uses aprconfig.cfg, which has some other cvars. Also something to try, make an autoexec.cfg and add the line: set gl_polyblend 0

that opengl problem is probably the biggest :/ if he wants it to look nicer, getting opengl to work is first priority, not to mention it makes the game smoother

i think its a driver problem... could be a problem specific to an actual card though

[Synikal]

It is, very specific to Radeon and Quake engines. Google it, you'll find plethoras of problems.

[Acer]

There are lots of Radeon cards, what do you have then? I've never had any problems with my Radeon and Q2.

[reaper]

they probably dont make the driver for that card and your OS, there was some kind of workaround, at least for windows7, to install the vista driver.  you could put an OS on that has good drivers for your video card.

Just in case you missed it,  was wondering if this helped the water crashing.

idk if polyblend effects your view inside water, its only when you take damage isnt it? so lava definitely, but that would mean he might also crash while taking heavy chaingun fire

Hrmm,  what IS the command that warps your view while in water?

[VaeVictis]

probably some particle effect of the client that you cant change kinda like rocket explosions and stuff... just a guess

i still think hes havin some fucked up driver issues

[[BTF] Reflex]

Nvm the warp,  that was q1.  BUT, gl_polyblend handles a 'dimming' effect as you enter water as well as the screen flashes from damage.
