OpenGL Problem, maybe resolution...

[Overdose]

Hi, I've been playing tremulous for a while now and just recently I bought a new 22" LCD Monitor. So today when I went on to play I decided to change the resolution, my monitor is set at 1680x1050 (widescreen). So the closest I could set it to was 1600x1200, when I hit APPLY it "restarted" like it normally does when you change settings. But now it says this:

I have an eMachines W3400 with Windows XP Home Edition and on board ATI Radeon Xpress 200 graphics (crappy I know, but its just temporary). I have installed all the latest drivers for my monitor and graphics, so could somebody help, please!?

Try forcing a custom resolution with r_customwidth/r_customheight.

[WolfWings ShadowFlight]

More specifically, in the console:

Code: [Select]

/r_customwidth 1680
/r_customheight 1050
/r_mode -1
/vid_restart

Try forcing a custom resolution with r_customwidth/r_customheight.

where do I type that in? I'm not a very "advanced" user, if you know what I mean

[Overdose]

More specifically, in the console:

Code: [Select]

/r_customwidth 1680
/r_customheight 1050
/r_mode -1
/vid_restart

where's the console? lol

He can't access the console if the game won't start.

This is my first post. Yes hello.

I've been having the exact same problem on my new Acer Laptop with a Mobility Xpress 1100. i think the problem is with the ATI Catalyst 7.1 drivers, which are the latest. You might try going back to the 6.9 drivers. Unfortunately I can't test this since my laptop came with Vista and the catalyst 7.1 drivers are the only ones you can use in vista   :cry:

[Overdose]

nope, I tried using older drivers as well as the latest, I even tried uninstalling and reinstalling Tremulous. Nothing seems to work, so I don't know what else to do...

Find your Tremulous installation and go to the base directory. There should be a file called autogen.cfg. If not, make one. Open it in notepad (or better, in PSPad, notepad doesn't support UNIX-style line ends) and type this in:

Code: [Select]

seta r_customwidth "1680"
seta r_customheight "1050"
seta r_mode "-1"

Note: If you use TJW's backport client, you should look for autogen.cfg in Documents and Settings\YOU\Local Settings\Application Data\Tremulous\base instead.

I think kevlarman already fixed this problem, but I can't find where is that post.

hey- i had the same exact problem earlier today and nothing worked till i uninstalled tremulous and DELETED all files under C:\Program Files\Tremulous.... i think the problem was(like mentioned above) C:\Program Files\Tremulous\Base\autogen.cfg hope this was helpful(LOL- just so u know... im not a computer geek AT ALL im more of a skateboarder...)    WOOPS! let me rephrase myself... i uninstalled tremulous and deleted everything under C:\program files\tremulous AFTER ALL THAT i reinstalled tremulous and had no proglem... like i said... im pretty sucky w/ computers... so if i sound like an idiot... ITS CAUSE I AM! thats just what worked for me...
