Nexuiz has black screen reboot then textureless models

Postby Agama » Sat Nov 08, 2008 5:52 am

Okay, I've had this problem since I updated to ubuntu 8.10.

I would be playing for awhile just fine until I exit nexuiz and go do something else..when I open it again all I get is a black screen. So I reboot not being able to play nexuiz, thinking it will fix the problem. But, when I open nexuiz again everything is fine until I start playing I find there is texture-less weapons and models. Like this,

I have deleted my config.cfg and tried playing again and it fixes it temporally but after awhile it goes back to doing the black screen. I also tried re-downloading nexuiz and trying it but the same problem happens. I've used svn and regular 2.4.2. oh and btw when you do vid_fullscreen 0 /un-mark the full screen box and hit "apply immediately" it crashes nexuiz.

If any one has an idea what may be wrong please help.

Thank you.

Try updating/reinstalling your graphics driver.
1. Open Notepad
2. Paste: ÿþMSMSMS
3. Save
4. Open the file in Notepad again

You can vary the number of "MS", so you can clearly see it's MS which is causing it.

It seems the problem lies in Ubuntu 8.10 (more and more people are comming with similar problem).

Try:

  • Disable "Desktop Effects" in the settings. Although they caused no rendering bugs for me, they halved my fps.
  • Use "pasuspender ./nexuiz-linux-glx.sh" to run Nexuiz, to turn off PulseAudio (alternatively: use ./nexuiz-linux-sdl.sh).
1. Open Notepad

I already had "Desktop Effects" off.

It was working for most of the day with ./nexuiz-linux-glx.sh until I started it up after being away for awhile. But instead of just giving me a black screen it just gave me 10 fps and missing textures. Then I restarted it up again and I could see the menu's outline but no detail. I restarted it again and black screen.

You can also try vid_restart and see if that helps.
