Hi ppls, i need help
since last week I'm an owner of the Aopen Aeolus 4200TI with 128MB.
I installed the latest Aopen Detonator Driver 29.42
Meanwhile i regulate the details low, disable Anti-Alaising, but I've got still slideshows sometimes. With all details on, d3d mode, in 32bit on 1280x1024 it look more bad as with my "old" Voodoo4 in 16bit? And the voodoo was really fast, no probs. Whats happen? I dunno?
I've got an 1,3Ghz Athlon TB and 512 MB Ram. It must be possible to play UT with fine grapfic without trouble, or not?
Someone have some Idea?

thx for help
Ant

Did you changed your UT video setting? It should be set to Direct3D (or u can maybe try OpenGL also). Voodo was set to Glide I guess.

Lol Middy

I meant in Options->Preferences->Video is option Video Driver and button Change for changing it. It should be set to "Direct3D Support" for GeForce cards, or he can try to set it to "OpenGL" too. I was asking about it becouse his old card with 3Dfx Voodoo chipset was using it with "Glide" setting which is compatible only with 3Dfx.

1. thx for help
2. with Voodoo card u don't took the glide modus, u took 3dfx modus and u know why Very Happy

(I miss my voodoo card really Sad

, but i have had to buy a new, cause of the dx 8.1 compatility)
3. I follow the "orders" of Klutch yesterday. I thought "hey I can use the special textures from CD2, cool" Ok, i made all he write, then at the end the last test on UT pointless server and what i have to say. All skins were static, they moved like run on rails. But arms and legs, heads and all a skin can move, don't move. Very static Evil or Very Mad

I tryed to "repair" the UT.ini manually, but it don't work. So uninstall the second.
4. Yesterday afternoon I searched in Internet (redman helped me over yahoo messanger, thx). Also I got in the Aopen Forum. A lot of ppl have a lot of probs with this grapficboards (so u better try an other Wink

), but it can't helped me with UT. So i completly uninstall my graphicboards drivers at least with the "detonator destroyer". And install it completly new. Then I install UT new, patch it to 436 and choose OpenGL. It works now (how good i will find out tomorrow), but i must say, the quality is not comparable with the 3dfx board.
But I find a d3d patch for UT, maybe it will work, maybe not. When nothing help i will play in software modus on wednesday Wink

640x480, maybe it looks like better then Rolling Eyes

S3Textures FIX: this if for when you log in to servers which don't have S3TC textures installed and players seem to be skating around instead of walking around and they freeze when you kill em.
Download this http://www.student.kuleuven.ac.be/~...loads/s3fix.exe , copy it to your ut\textures-folder and run it. It should fix that particular problem

Did you do this bit?
replace openGl.dll located in the ut\system folder with this one:
http://unreal.epicgames.com/files/opengldrv.zip

Also which Motherboard have you got? you could try this.
http://www.guru3d.com/forum/showthread.php?s=1e794396647a4c02b958e72332e76fc0&threadid=31767

Also try different drivers

Ok Ant, try copy this file ----> http://www.ocainsane.com/files/OpenGLDrv.dll
to your unrealtournament\system directory

you might want to make a backup of the origional file first.

this is the opengl driver from my directory.

find the bit in your unrealtournament.ini that starts with[OpenGLDrv.OpenGLRenderDevice]
Delete everything under that heading and replace it with

RefreshRate=0
DetailTextures=True
UseTrilinear=1
UseS3TC=1
UseTNT=0
LODBias=0
UseMultiTexture=1
UsePalette=1
UseAlphaPalette=0
Translucency=True
VolumetricLighting=True
ShinySurfaces=True
Coronas=True
HighDetailActors=True
MaxAnisotropy=0
AlwaysMipMap=0
UsePrecache=0
SupportsLazyTextures=0
Transluency=True

Also if you want to try the S3 textures heres the fix
http://www.ocainsane.com/files/s3fix.exe

BUT i just tried it again with the same results. looks the same but very choppy and very low fps.

hope this helps
