Nexiuz Not Loading WINXP

[esteel]

Well i have NO idea how well ati drivers handle opengl with dual monitors.. can you try to disable one?

It appears you're starting Nexuiz with nexuiz, instead try starting the game with nexuiz-sdl.

Boom you win! It works!

Thank You!

Actually I avoid ATI bashing in general. Their drivers make it hard to not do so

Indeed.. well maybe it will get better in 5 years

So, I've got the same problem as tkdan. I've also got an X800 and dual monitors. Also like tkdan, if I disable my second monitor Nexuiz runs fine. Disabling my second monitor isn't really a good solution since I end up having to move all my windows back over afterwards. I don't think the problem exists solely in ATI's drivers, not that I'm saying they don't suck. I've been able to play other games that use openGL.

Any other ideas about what to do? Any chance of maybe a dev chiming in?

Have you tried Nexuiz in windowed mode?

[Fyren]

The window doesn't paint, just like in the screenshot tkdan posted.

Hah, sure, you mean they finally give up on the whole gfx card thingy? ^^

See why peeps have problems,having the best Nvidia card and system isnt the awnser,I use linux on dual boot with windoze and use a cheap 128 ati graphics card as the driver config from livna works fine in linux as does the game,so bite me windoze.
Have found nexuiz an excellent deathmatch platform and apart from my modded version of UT is the greatest on -line game i have played and I have played most.
So for all you Nvidia purists that knock Ati try installing Nvidia in linux o/s lol,it will give you a real headache ,where as Ati is easy as pie and runs sweeeet.
Do have another 3 Pewters on home network and 2 have nvidia which are a pain in the A***,so knock ati all you like ,but for nexuiz ATI does work better for me ,nuff said.
