OpenGL driver problems

[TAGraveDigga]

I have gone through a series of upgrades. Now Unreal wants to be anal. The textures look all choopy and poor lighting.. I have tryed to install Unreal every which way 224,225,226f all opengl and d3d... I have all but given up.. Im about to build me an old P3 1Ghz system Just for Unreal With a voodoo 5 5500 since Glide is the best for Unreal =)

Asus A7N8X-E Deluxe
Athlon XP 3200+
1 GB Kingston DDR 400

I find I have to type

flush

in the console every once and awhile to clear up odd rendering problems.

Check your ini settings. Heres mine for opengl.

seems very very probably a driver issue, check ur grafix card drivers

Your screenshots look identical to what my Unreal looked like before I changed my ini settings. I can't remember which setting I changed to correct it but for me it was an ini setting. I use UGold with opengl and s3tc textures. Not sure if you changed your ini settings yet but I suggest giving that a try before you install drivers etc. I'm sure Smirftsch knows alot more but like I mentioned the screenshots look exactly the same as what mine did before altering the ini.

I concur with pitbull. I had some trouble with that exact error, and then i changed my ini settings to the sample one in the readme (at least i think it was the readme...I don't remember) and then it worked perfectly.

This was on my brothers PC that i installd OpenGL. He also has one of the more powerful Radeon GFX card models, so i guess its aproblem with that card.

Sadly i did not check to see which ini setting had fixed the problem, since i was too busy staring at the graphics with awe.

Did you try the default OpenGL settings from the readme?
The ones you use could cause problems or incompatibilities.

Otherwise remove them from the ini to let them restore to their defaults.
