incredible 3rd party update! ... but...

Post by Doomeous »

Man, I'm impressed! I dig out the old original unreal to play with about 30 people at a lan party on the 15 of febuary. I try to get it to run on me laptop (p4 2.8ghz Radeon 9000 built in) and nothing works but software mode.. i try everything but no go 8( .... then one day i run across this site and voila! new breath into the game. First the 2106 opengl driver! man it works perfectly, max details in 1600x1200 the game is silky smooth and looking good! Then i install the unreal tournament textures and whoa! incredible! Hats off to the team that got this together! But.... I decide to see if any servers still run this game and sure enough, plenty of them! As soon as i click into the game, it loads a min, then poof, im at the windows dexktop.. hmmm i try again, same thing... doh! I check the forums, and turns out to be a 2106 opengl driver issue, so i plop in the 2105... it works, but the ground is black and some weird sky issues, but it will play online no problems. If only we can marry the online of 2105 with the perfect graphics of 2106! Anyone have any ideas? ~8)
