G-200 OpenGL in SIN/Wages of SIN

[Werner H.]

Hallo,

i think im right here, in finding some help.

I can't run Sin or Wages of Sin in "default opengl"-mode. It always end in the console and the game switches back to software mode, when i choose this option. I have already installed the latest matrox driver 5.13.020 with opengl support through full ICD and also DirectX 6.1.

Many thanks in advantage.

Make sure there is no file called opengl32.dll in the game directory. The only one should be the one in windows\system.

Also, make sure you are in 16 or 32 bit. 24 bit won't work...

please buy a 3d accelerator (preferabbly 3dfx) to fully appreciate sin.

peace

Hello?
G400 IS a 3D accelerator.
SiN is based on the Q2 engine, which was written for OGL. A 3DFX card may run it, but it won't look nearly as good as the G400 in OGL. (I have had both cards, and have run SiN on both).

I have not seen SIN on a G400,

Kruzin- if you have a screen post it. because I get weird images with my accelerator. The models have smudged faces, and my fps are Way to high. I usually refer to http://www.ritualistic.com for tweak info, but it lacks... if you know a way i can 'clean" up the image by tweaking it, please let me know.

Ooooh. That was nice.

How do I get my voodoo to do that?

DGWelfare: By throwing it in the Chemical Waste-container ASAP !!!

Jorden.

[Kruzin]

Your voodoo will never do that.
That's a pic from my G400.
I used the same settings for my G200, except at a lower res, and it looked almost as good.

To try it on your G200, go to your SiN folder, and rename opengl32.dll to .bak. Then copy the settings I posted above into your player.cfg file (sin\base\players\name\mane.cfg), and remove the corresponding commands that are already in there (make a backup of this file first).

[DigitalWelfare]

Alright! Im going to try it tonight, and capture a screen shot-

KRUZIN,


How can I post my screen shots? I made some really "awakening" discoveries, after what you guys have been telling me..... New Forum will be posted soon...
