Title: new to open arena
Post by: dippydave on November 25, 2008, 06:29:36 AM
hi,

just looking for a game a bunch of my friends can shoot the crap out of each other and found open arena, being a big quake fan i downloaded it. however whenever i open the game all the graphics are really messed up, i can barely see the screen where you choses options etc and when i get past that the game is in a million different colors but still works surprisingly.

probably an option i have wrong somewhere but i'm damned if i can find it please help

What's your system specs? Had you that class of issues with Quake III?

Can you be more specific about the graphics card? OA is heavily dependent on that

I guess nvidia broke something in a newer driver.

un-installed and re-installed my graphics driver and all seems well, thanks for the comments probably wouldn't have thought to do it otherwise
