Nexuiz Freezes when firing a weapon + no weapon models.

[Urmel]

Nice to hear good luck & have fun!

[Darcshadow7]

Oh i will, thanks for the help guys! I love the weapons.

WOW! That worked, Now i just have to learn how to get better at the game!

Read Nexuiz/Docs/basics.html and tell us what you think about the tips there

On the other hand i wonder what option in that config file did the trick for you..
There are lots of non-related settings in that file and some funky ones (cl_movement "0" for example should always be 1, or at least for like 99,99999999% of the people)

gl_max_size "1024"
gl_picmip "8"
gl_vbo "0"
those look like they could have helped. The first one is 2048 by default but set to the limits of the graphic card automatically if lower. It can act similar to the second option for large textures. The second is the texture quality in the menu, and the third are the vertex buffers i asked to disable.

r_picmipworld "5"
thats wrong, this setting is just 0 or 1 (well 0 or NOT 0 thats why it still works..) it makes the settings gl_picmip also work for the level texture.

r_dynamic "0"
r_shadow_gloss "0"
r_shadow_realtime_dlight "0"
r_sky "0"
Those are also set/disabled when using the default low config (except sky but sky is hardly taxing the graphic card at all)

So i really wonder what did help



Unless i missed something, those are the settings from urmels config that possibly could have an effect in this matter at all. Maybe you can test if only those settings already help? If you delete config.cfg you basicly start at default settings. Just use those few lines instead of Urmels long file and see if that helps too. And then maybe by deleting line after line, deleting config.cfg and restarting see which of those option(s) did REALLY help? That could prove useful for others and also to learn more about why you are having this problem..

Ill see what i can do... Now its starting to freeze on me when i enter Nexuiz.

[esteel]

Heh, well if only urmels config helps thats fine too.. i want you to play..

[Darcshadow7]

No it isn't config file related, im sure it has to do with my firewall. Or something like that.

[esteel]

Try running it in window mode.. for example by starting it with the startup option

+vid_fullscreen 0

[Darcshadow7]

Ok, ill try that, after i get some breakfast.

[Darcshadow7]

Thanks for the suggestion, but it works without that now, i wonder what changed overnight while my computer was off... Ah well, now i just have to get my dad to remove some things off the firewall so that i can play online!

[esteel]

Heh, your PC has a live of its own..
