Unreal Tournament and 5.52 drivers

[Captainkw7]

I am getting tearing and messed up backgrounds in UT. I just installed the 5.52 drivers.

Win 98 SE
256 MB RAM
Abit BH6
PII 450
Videologic Sonic Vortex 2 soundcard
latest patch for UT

I'm also using the 5.52 drivers and have no problems in UT.

Are you using a G200 or a G400?

perfect here

------------------
Abit BE6 with P3 500 @ 5*124=620
14.6 gb Maxtor ata66 and 128mb ram
G400 vanilla 32mb @ 168/210
Sblive with Altec Lansing speaker combo
384k DSL and Realtek nic
Windows 98se with DX7a

Worn out reset button :O)

Sorry, I have just upgraded from a Voodoo 3 3000 to a G400 Max. I uninstalled all of the Voodoo 3 stuff,( went through the registry)switched to standard VGA, installed the G400 with the CD, then upgraded to the 5.52 drivers. Went into UT and changed from Glide to D3D. Overall it looks much nicer but the tearing and far away textures that are messed up looks pretty bad. I'll reinstall UT, update it, and see if that helps.

Get the beta D3D dll from http://unreal.epicgames.com It's in the tweaks section.

It is far and away a better renderer than the stock D3D dll. However, you'll still have some texture problems with far-away textures, even in 32bit color mode.

Just my $0.02

The only problem I had was when I would use secondary fire for rockets, the textures would turn all cheesecloth with the projectiles, but after I switched to Win2K and used the latest drivers things appear much better.

[Captainkw7]

I did get the new DLL so I guess I just have to live with the odd backgrounds for now. Overall, it does look much better than it did with my Voodoo card though.

#1 do not use the drivers from the cd,
#2 uninstall all g400 drivers and such,
#3 reboot, configure as standard pci adapter,
#4 reboot, install 5.52 drivers
should get much better performance as well
good luck

I tried your suggestion Durango and that seems to have done it. I played a few rounds this morning and did not notice and tearing or problems in the distance.

Thanks,

Just don't use the new TurboGL drivers, cant get UT to run at all with those, had to revert to the original first Release TurboGL drivers.

[Kruzin]

Don't use any TurboGL at all with this game.
Play it in D3D mode.
