UT opengl settings for both nvidia/ati

[Paa`]

Ive been asked alot lately about people having problems so im just gunna make a new thread with everything on so it hopefully fixes people's problems.

UseTruForm=False
NumAASamples=0
UseAA=False
RequestHighResolutionZ=False

SinglePassDetail=False
ColorizeDetailTextures=False
DetailClipping=True
UseDetailAlpha=True
RefreshRate=85 <----- monitor refresh rate
MaxTMUnits=0 <-- can leave this on 0 if u want unless u know how many Texture mapping units ur card has.
NoFiltering=False
MaxAnisotropy=0
UseTNT=False
Use4444Textures=False
UseS3TC=False
UseAlphaPalette=True

GammaOffsetRed=0.000000
GammaOffset=0.000000
LODBias=-0.300000
DescFlags=0

These settings along with the latest opengl renderer work perfect with my radeon 9800 pro.

few other settings for people

[Engine.Engine]
GameRenderDevice=OpenGLDrv.OpenGLRenderDevice <-- need's to be set to enable opengl.

SlowVideoBuffering=False <-- set this to false almost always unless u know it is the cause of a problem.

CurvedSurfaces=False <-- set to true for much much better looking Models ( skins ) in UT. Large performance hit.

LowDetailTextures=False <-- really in need of performance set to true

MinDesiredFrameRate=999.000000 <-- pretty much what it says 0 = best possible graphic rendering/details

wots da latest opengl driver, can u attach it or summin please!

 

[Humph]

ogl

 

[SoldierBoy]

hmm I have sum trubbel with opengl with the cat 4.2 driver.. it gets VERY dark nuffing happens when I move the brightness slider..

 [u]Latest news
[/u]ATI seems to have broken some aspects of hardware gamma ramp support even more in their 4.2 drivers.

from http://cwdohnal.home.mindspring.com/utglr/ using d3d atm looks shit and get shitty fps around 60 fs when I get around 250 avg with open gl

 

[SoldierBoy]

wtf weirdo quote thingi

 

[subZ]

Very nice

 

[Paa`]

yeh with catalyst drivers gamma is fucked in UT u need to change resolution then back to ur current then try setting gamma it works for now ati know about it and will hopefulyl fix it for next catalyst release.

 

[SX]

ye can also get catalyst 4.1 or lower they work fine
had the same prob om me radeon 9800 pro that it was dark so i just switched back to 4.1

 

[Nekro]

n1 paa`

 

[Paa`]

Not exactly hard just looked at 2 websites and emailed the guy who makes the ogl renderer a couple of times.

Was just passing it on so others could fix any problems they had.

 

[uZi]

opengl deffo looks better, and seems to perform quite nicely.. however im getting strange artifacts or something, im pretty sure its not my card causing it.. and i do remember having them with opengl b4..

any ideas?

screenshow below:

 

[Paa`]

i had this too uzi when i enabled aa OR af with my radeon..

 

[uZi]

yer, it pretty much goes when i disable em.. fs i want AA and AF

 

[Zork]

nice work paa
Tryed the Highest Performance settings on a Gf4800 SE.
Many glitchers on lamps and walls ect..

 

[Paa`]

That's because there for high performance lol u cant have it looking great and maximum performance looking at your pc u should use mid or high quality settings dont see why performance is needed

 

[Towanda]

WTF! this is all i have in engine.engine

[Engine.Engine]
GameRenderDevice=D3DDrv.D3DRenderDevice
AudioDevice=Galaxy.GalaxyAudioSubsystem
NetworkDevice=IpDrv.TcpNetDriver
DemoRecordingDevice=Engine.DemoRecDriver
Console=UTMenu.UTConsole

DefaultServerGame=Botpack.DeathMatchPlus
ViewportManager=WinDrv.WindowsClient
Render=Render.Render
Input=Engine.Input
Canvas=Engine.Canvas
CdPath=J:
RunCount=92

I also have a problem which means I cant run UT in a windowed mode, if i do and touch any other proggie i will have two mousecursors in the menues (of which only one works of course) and in game i have a mousecursor that moves as I move the mouse. Can this be related and/or does anyone have a fix?

 

[Mido]

bahhh brightness is totally fucked aye

 

[Blade]

Thx paa`
Works like a charm....those who complains bout it's too bright, is that from spotlights and lamps?
If so just set "Coronas=True" to False
