(6) TROUBLESHOOTING
-------------------
The following are some of the more common problems you might have, and
recommended solutions. For more details see the support section on
www.lokigames.com and visit our bug reporting system at
http://fenris.lokigames.com.
Q: The game segfaults when trying to use windowed mode with the Glide
renderer.
A: Glide doesn't support rendering in a window.
Q: Most of the time when I connect to a server on the internet it starts
downloading "multimesh".
A: It is strongly advised that you install the official Bonuspack available
at http://download.cnet.com/downloads/0-10044-108-58371.html?bt.dl-10008.EpicMegaGames.10044-108-58371
which includes the required files to play on most internet servers nowadays.
Q: I am rendering in windowed mode and the mouse is grabbed in the window.
A: You can press CTRL-G to change between grabbing or not. Alternatively
you can change the UnrealTournament.ini file
Q: The game crashes and I can't switch back to my normal resolution using
CTRL-ALT- +/-
A: After running "xvidtune -unlock" you can change resolutions normally.
Q: I installed the Glide[OpenGL] Renderer as default but now want to use
the OpenGL[Glide] renderer.
Q: I want to use the Software Renderer.
A: Edit the following lines in either
(INSTALL_PATH)/System/UnrealTournament.ini or
(HOME)/.loki/ut/System/UnrealTournament.ini
To use the OpenGL renderer:
[Engine.Engine]
GameRenderDevice=SDLGLDrv.SDLGLRenderDevice
WindowedRenderDevice=SDLGLDrv.SDLGLRenderDevice
RenderDevice=SDLGLDrv.SDLGLRenderDevice
To use the Glide renderer:
[Engine.Engine]
GameRenderDevice=GlideDrv.GlideRenderDevice
WindowedRenderDevice=GlideDrv.GlideRenderDevice
RenderDevice=GlideDrv.GlideRenderDevice
To use the Software renderer:
[Engine.Engine]
GameRenderDevice=SDLSoftDrv.SDLSoftwareRenderDevice
WindowedRenderDevice=SDLSoftDrv.SDLSoftwareRenderDevice
RenderDevice=SDLSoftDrv.SDLSoftwareRenderDevice
Global settings are made in (INSTALL_PATH)/... and local ones in your
home directory. When you first run Unreal Tournament it will copy the
version of UnrealTournament.ini from (INSTALL_PATH)/... to your home
directory and from there on only use the one in your home directory.
Q: How can I specify my OpenGL library?
A: You can choose the OpenGL library Unreal Tournament tries to use
by specifying the path to it in your UnrealTournament.ini
[SDLGLDrv.SDLGLRenderDevice]
OpenGLLibName=libGL.so.1
or
OpenGLLibName=/opengl/library/path/libMYGL.so
Q: I am using XF 4.0 with my 3dfx card and the textures look really
weird. When I exit the game I can see a "No space for texture"
error message.
A: This is a bug in DRI that got fixed recently (07/31/00). You have
to use the CVS version of DRI.
Q: The towers seem to flicker in CTF-FACE.
A: If you have a 3dfx card please choose the Glide renderer. Otherwise
try to use 32 bit renderering which should resolve the issues you
are seeing and also will enhance the display quality.
