texture/mesh problems

[zietsh]

So since some time now I got these kind of problems on allot (almost every map) did not have texture/mesh problems before like that. (Or i did not notice it.)
Looks to me as if some models/brushes/how ever you want to call it, are double and collide. (Some times the problem is only in distant objects sometimes always.)

Is this just me?

Check if you're accidentally using 16-bit color for textures.

Q3 engine has it's share if quirks. If I'm not mistaken using 16-bit color in combination with Q3's rounding of distance can sometimes cause nearby brushes (i.e. a thin brush such as a painting near the wall (brush)) to appear as though if they are overlapping and you get so-called "z-fighting": the engine can't decide which brush to draw in the front and which in the back.

Or it could be UrT's latest and the greatest update featuring a new feature or two. In which case, it's NOT A BUG, it's a FEATURE.

P.S.: It could also theoretically be a custom map that messed up your shaders.

Seem to be a feature as you put it ...

Your tip does seem to have fixed some of them, thanks!

Today I installed urt on linux (im on windows for my games usually) and a different pc.
Problem reoccurred must be somewhere in this cfg, not that i dont appreciate a nice new feature.

Hmmm... do you have some manual config? Never had this kind of problem...

My specs are:

Q6600@3GHz
GeForce GTX 750Ti
4GB RAM
Winblows 7 64bits

Next, the options from my cfg related to graphics... all of them are just auto generated from game GUI:

Btw try one of these:

seta r_texturebits "32"
seta r_ext_multitexture "1"

[natirips]

Also, try enabling multitextures, just below "//get fps", change

seta r_ext_multitexture "0"

to

seta r_ext_multitexture "1"

. For me it's on "1". It's not a big performance hit unless you run the game on CPU only (as in using very basic integrated graphics cards).

[zietsh]

The problem still occurs.. :/

I have reset the game settings to their default - i still have the problem.


Is it a AMD specific problem?

[zietsh]

But resetting it to the default made my ping stable at 0

[natirips]

Is it a AMD specific problem?

I'm running UrT on

CPU: AMD Athlon(tm) II X4 640 (@3GHz)
RAM: 16GB DDR3@1333MHz
GPU: GeForce 8400 GS (G98 version; NVIDIA drivers)
OS: a messes-up Debian 7.2 amd64 w/3.2.0 kernel

and I have no such problems. Or did you mean "AMD GPU/APU specific problem"?
