Title: Tremulous won't start up.
Post by: Akira on August 23, 2008, 03:51:27 pm

Hey I downloaded and installed Tremulous today. So when I start the game the console shows up than disappears. After that Tremulous shows up a gray screen then turns white, I wait a while nothing happens. What do I do?

Most likely you need to install the right drivers for your graphics card.  They should be easy to find on the manufactures website.

Some cards and driver combinations with tremulous(and a bit of other quake based opengl games) will do that if you are using multiple monitors

I've fixed it, now I got another problem. After I finish loading a game, It doesn't show up. :P and thanks for the help earlier. Now can you help me with this too.

If Tremulous won't work, that won't either. Use your OS's screenshot utility.

the OS's screenshot utility produces bad results for most games (it's pretty much guaranteed to tear the frame at least once). the built in screenshot functions suspend rendering long enough to copy a frame from graphics memory intact, but the OS has no way of doing it.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think that would be a problem in this case.

It wouldn't since he doesn't seem to be able to enter a game anyways.
