When will ppl learn to search :-\ You need to start trem with +set r_mode 1, or remove the line starting with r_mode from your autogen.cfg.

A more useful response:
Find C:\Program Files\Tremulous\base\autogen.cfg and delete the line that starts "r_mode".
(If that file doesn't exist, try %APPDATA%\Tremulous\base\autogen.cfg, if that fails, wait for someone who knows where it is on vista)

Or just update the Driver to the one that the manufacturer supplies so GL will support 1600x1200

#10

I wouldn't know how to tell when the line ends though

It ends where there is whitespace and a new line starts up. (Do I have to explain to you what "white" is too?)

Does it use unix newlines that notepad can't read?
If its all squished onto one line, just delete the r_gamma bit.  It'll fix its self when it runs.

Notepad or Write has a (forced) linebreak feature accessible via one of the menus. It should work with unix linebreaks too.

I re-installed the game after uninstalling and deleting the old C:\Program Files\Tremulous files... the autogen.cfg isnt there anymore in the \base folder and im still getting the issue
