Can't see game models

[Maniac]

Hello everyone I just downloaded the game today for a lan party in a few weeks and I have a slight problem. While the game runs smooth I have no skins or models of any kind in the game. Can someone please gimme some advice.

Just for starters I am up to date with my drivers and I am running a Nvidia BFG 8600.
Any help is welcome.

What do you mean by no skins or models? Is the level loading? Can you navigate the level? Did you press "Enter" after the level loaded to join the game? (That one got me the first time.... I'm sorry to say)

EDIT: From what more experienced people here are saying, you may just need to update your drivers. See this thread: http://forums.alientrap.local/viewtopic.php?t=4504

On current Nvidia/ATI hardware, there should be no problems at all when you have uptodate drivers installed. Often Linux distributions install 'free' drivers by default that perform badly at 3D stuff. The same goes for a lot of 'default' windows installations that come with windows drivers which are bad at OpenGL. Make sure you install the latest official drivers from the graphic card manufacturer. They come with good OpenGL support.

So much for the 'usual' text. But you have uptodate drivers installed. Are those the Nvidia ones? Or why do you think they are uptodate? Just making sure its not a driver thing after all. As i said, often new computer come with default windows drivers..

Maybe trying to reinstall them helps too.

Then again Nvidia hardware is know to be pretty good and as most of the devs have Nvidia hardware there are usually no bugs involving Nvidia hardware. If those ideas do not help yet, please come back and we'll try finding out the problem..

I am still having the same problem. I tried everything that you suggested. I reinstalled the game and the most recent driver update. I am running on XP and my latest driver update was on the April 2nd 2009, if it will help, 182.50_geforce_winxp_32bit_english_whql was the file name.

Is there anything you might be able to pick up from a system diag? Thanks for the help guys I haven't had a problem like this before so I am kinda lost on what to do.

Hmm, that drivers seems to be ok. Can you please start the game with the startup option -condebug (create a shortcut to nexuiz.exe , add that options after nexuiz.exe and then start via that shortcut). That will create a logfile of all the stuff in the nexuiz console. I'd like to see what nexuiz tells about your opengl stuff.

For example for me it says this (well part of it):

That part.. looks like the nvidia drivers are really correctly installed. Just wanted to make sure. Simply because i never had any problems with nvidia stuff and Nexuiz. also i never heared about such problems on windows. I"ll have to sleep over that

[Maniac]

knowing me I probably don't have something checked or enabled on my display settings. I am known for my problems that are solved by presing one botton.
