OpenGL - FAQ do not help although XP & NVIDIA

[Redstorm]

Hello Folks,

I found the FAQ but it doesn't help me:

I can start the ganme but when I set 1600X1020 display -> OpenGL could not start.

So I deinstalled my drivers... set new up and... nothing.

Could someone help me plz?

Or could someone tell me how to get the default settings without starting the game? This won't help for the crappy graphics with this low resolution but i could play it....

[benmachine]

Which client, which OS?

[Redstorm]

Oh sorry i thoght that the name of the topic would be enought ;-)

OS: XP 32bit
Nvidia 8800 GTS with newest drivers
Brand new Tremulous version (1.1.0.)

Edit 2:

with
+set r_fullscreen 0

i could set it to normal... so i can play but not with my resolution 1680x1050

Start with tremulous.exe +set r_mode 4

Hah, sorry I can't read.

To modify your settings without starting tremulous, you can poke around in E:\Tremulous\base\autogen.cfg (if you downloaded a more recent client from http://trem.tjw.org/backport then it'd be somewhere else, which is why I asked).
All your saved settings are in there. If you want to ever reset your Tremulous install, just move it out of the Tremulous folder or rename it.
You might also want to create an autoexec.cfg in the same folder if you want persistent settings, because Tremulous executes this file on launch but doesn't overwrite it like it does with autogen.

[Odin]

Do this in the console:

Code: [Select]

/r_customwidth 1680
/r_customheight 1050
/r_mode -1
/vid_restartIt should give you your 1680x1050 resolution.

[AlphaBetaAdmin]

you could do that, or [what worked for me] go to the Appdata for trem and delete Autogen.cfg

[David]

Which loses all your other settings etc, and leaves you on 640x480.
Odin's way is better.

Necro's are fun though!
