I almost fell into the trap of telling you to read the FAQ (which is in bad need of updating/correcting). Then I was about to tell you to search, but I tried searching myself and remembered that the search on this forum is worthless. Instead I'll tell you an answer.

If you know how, run Tremulous from the command line with the argument

Code: [Select]

+set r_mode 3That should work.
If you don't know how to use the Windows command line, that should be something like:

• Windows key + R
• cmd
• cd "\Program Files (x86)\Tremulous"
• Tremulous-1.1.0 +set r_mode 3
