Wierd Problem that Occured
« on: August 27, 2009, 08:24:38 pm »
Just today my tremulous had lots of problems, it started off last week where when I join a server tremulous looks like an old video. Just today my friend piggy doesn't show, its plain black. Then the console disappeared, all that happens is half of the screen is black with a red line across the screen. After that play, mods, and quit disappeared taking the title "TREMULOUS" with it. It goes extremely slow now and I cant find what the problem is. So I reinstalled my Tremulous and nothing happens, I did this three times without a backport. The forth time I reinstalled it I installed the backport from Risujin. Now the console shows, the title is gone, the piggy doesn't show, play, options, mods, and quit shows, but when I go to play it looks like an old movie, also when I connect to a server there is no background with the planet and sun, and no screenshot shows. I miss Mr. Piggy.
I have some screen shots but not the one of Tremulous looking like an old movie.






Some info about my tremulous.
I have no mods installed,
no maps installed,
and no huds installed.

Some info about my computer.

I would guess it's a graphics card problem.
Check the temp etc (mine gets clogged with dust, and roasts it's self if I don't clean it out).
Do you have other 3d games you can test?  Do they all work fine?

I have urban terror, it works perfectly except it has the same "old video" look problem, but everything else in Urban Terror is working fine. About 1-2 months ago I did a PC Pitstop check and it found my Video Card driver was outdated so I installed the Update to that, but this problem started last week. Urban Terror, from the start looked like an "old video". I don't know if I should re-wind this change or what?

Try starting trem from terminal/command prompt and see if there are any errors/warnings. You can also try cleaning out dust from your computer.
