Title: Reset settings? Post by: adamo on July 23, 2013, 12:09:56 PM Hi all,
I have been playing with the console and now the graphics are slow :D How can I reset all my OA settings to factory default? EDIT: Forgot to mention I'm on a Mac. thanks Title: Re: Reset settings? Post by: Neon_Knight on July 23, 2013, 12:45:20 PM AFAIK, in <personal folder>/openarena/baseoa there's a file called q3config.cfg. Rename it to q3config.bak and try.

I found it in ~/Library/Application Support/OpenArena/ Title: Re: Reset settings? Post by: Gig on July 24, 2013, 12:05:28 PM If it goes slow due to you set a very low com_maxfps value, you may use some patience and use the console to set com_maxfps 90 again, even if it will be shown slowly. Or you may even change its value directly from q3config.cfg file (with a text editor, when the game is closed).
Title: Re: Reset settings? Post by: fromhell on July 24, 2013, 06:07:24 PM I'd also like to know what is specifically causing a slowdown. The common factors are:
r_flares = the method to do flares is an expensive z depth pixel read. r_bloom = renders the scene to a texture which is then rendered on top of the scene. Can be expensive on weak cards such as the FX5200 and tile-based hardware such as PowerVR r_detailtextures = renders detail stages, which are typically fine detail patterns on walls. Anything after a Voodoo2 shouldn't have a problem with this, however the increase in texture switching will make it worse for OpenGL ES hardware. r_primitives = allows selection of methods on drawing polygons. 0 is automatic Title: Re: Reset settings?

It didn't crawl to an end, it was just that my frame rate dropped to what I considered was "choppy". I don't think there is any bug here, I just went a bit over what my GPU could do. It might have been the detailed textures, but I also tinkered with shadows and stuff, so I'm really not sure what caused the (slight) slow down. And thats because I wasn't sure that I asked about resetting everything. thanks for this great game. -- adamo |
