phunni Posted July 23, 2003 Report Share Posted July 23, 2003 I recently got a new machine and last night I installed RTCW on it. Single player works fine but multi player just gives me a screen covered in random colours and my mouse leaves a permanent trail behind it. This computer has much better specs than my previous one which ran the game with no problems at all. I have to restart X to recover from this. I am using a ATI Rage 128 on a pentium 3 with 256MB RAM glxgears gives me an average of 980 FPS (that's just now - it's previously been around the 270 mark, wonder why it does that) I'd post error messages if I new where to find them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyme Posted July 23, 2003 Report Share Posted July 23, 2003 here's what you can do: (and I think it will work) mpwolf > errors.txt mpwolf is whatever the executable is to start mutliplayer wolf., i forget what it is exactly...wolfmp maybe?

phunni Posted July 23, 2003 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2003 It is wolfmp, but it doesn't work - wolfmp is as empty as when I touched it :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyme Posted July 23, 2003 Report Share Posted July 23, 2003 the command i gave you would create a file called errors.txt and that would (hopefully) contain the errors, unless of course it doesn't close the file if wolfmp closes abnormally...I'm not sure :-/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phunni Posted July 24, 2003 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2003 The command simply creates an empty file. I tried performing all of the command in /usr/local/bin/wolfmp manually and outputting them to errors.txt - but no joy. The bizarre thing is that when the screen goes funny I see snippets of pages I was looking at on the internet earlier and programs I was running earlier - none of which are running now. This is eally odd - and frustrating as well since I'd love to play this game! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyme Posted July 24, 2003 Report Share Posted July 24, 2003 and it's only the multiplayer version that does this? did you try cleaning it and doing a fresh install? (just a guess) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phunni Posted July 24, 2003 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2003 It is only the multiplayer version. I did wonder if a re-install was the answer - I'll give that a go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
