GL error + dual monitor

« on: August 27, 2009, 08:33:06 AM »

Hi, can anyone help?

I've been able to run OA quite happily ever since before I went dual monitor, and now this on startup. Sad

Thanks!

What about upgrading to OA 0.8.1?

It cannot launch the game with the resolution it wants (640x480), however you have that resolution in your available resolutions list. Maybe you should try launch the game in windowed mode.

Look for a text file named q3config.cfg text file in this folder: C:\Documents and Settings\grwheeler\Application Data\OpenArena/baseoa/
go to the end and add the following lines to it:

Code:

seta r_fullscreen "0"
seta r_mode "-1"

Than start the game, it will launch in windowed mode. If the game doesn't crash you can set the resolution and fullscreen in the options menu. Maybe it helps.

Wkd, I did what you said but it still errored. Would it be becuase I'm dual monitor or should that just work? Sad

I've 'upgraded' to Windows 7 from XP and it seems to work now, but only on 1 monitor. I think it was just a dodgy install of XP.

Any ideas on how to stretch the game over both monitors?

Thanks
