OpenGL, ATI woes

wow openGL do developers on pcs ever use openGL at all besides mac developers?

I dont belive Unreal II supports ATIs Moblie cards.

From the readme:
3.7 Radeon 7x00 issues
----------------------

Radeon 7x00 cards exhibit a minor visual flaws. We recommend downloading
the latest available from ATI's website:

http://mirror.ati.com/support/driver.html

Post-release reports indicate that some Radeon drivers may cause crashes
in the game. ATI has recently released drivers which they have confirmed
resolve those problems. The above recommendation remains true.

2.2 AGP
-------

AGP support is required to enable Unreal II to transfer texture and
other video information rapidly to your graphics card.

Many Windows 2000 configurations have problems with AGP configuration
which result in severe performance degradation. Without proper AGP
support enabled, it's typical to see the game running at only three or
four frames per second.

If you experience problems with AGP support, please contact customer
service representatives at the company where you purchased your computer.

Note: For ATI users, downloading the catalyst 3.1 drivers and upgrading to DirectX 9 may help you achieve the best results.

3.1 Crashes
------------

If Unreal II stops with a "Ran out of virtual memory" message, you need
to free up more hard disk space on your primary drive (C in order to
play. Unreal II's large levels and rich textures take up a lot of virtual memory.

Post-release reports indicate that some ATI Radeon drivers may cause crashes in
the game. Customers with the RADEON 7200 / RADEON ViVo should make sure they
have the latest catalyst (3.01) drivers.

Errr, dosnt look like a graphics problem, more like a sound problem. Try this:
1.press 'start'
2.go to 'run'
3.type in 'DXDIAG', press enter
4.go to the sound/sound1 tab
5.find the 'Hardware sound acceleration level' slider
6.if its at full accelleration try no acceleration or if its at no acceleration try full acceleration.
7.Close DXDIAG, it automaticly saves (You might want to restart your computer, but thats usualy useless)
See if it crashes then

NOTE: Some games, like Warcraft III, will not run with no sound accelration.

Hope this helps

Just be happy that you have an ATI card. NVidia cards physically render the image INcorrectly to improve frame rates. NVidia has called this ****-up a 'Tweak'.

yeah i got to say ATI is the way to go.

install the eax and game patches then dissable shadows my buddys lappy was crashing and that fixed it (shadows may work but they caused some problems b4 so he left them off)

btw unreal2=dx8.1 not ogl wish it had ogl though

make sure u have the latest drivers for ur card

www.omegacorner.com is the best place to get drivers

When I did an interview with Tim, I specifically asked about OpenGL support. He pretty much made it clear, Windows version should use DX. For current Unreal games, OpenGL on Windows isn't being supported...for now.

i hope that when ogl 2.0 comes out it gets support from game makers i have had far less trobble with ogl then with dx
also have a liking for the fact that its cross platform compatable and open sorce

oh and if somebody wanted to make an ogl port like the one made for unreal1 couldnt they do it?

I agree, always like OpenGL better. The graphics look smoother and not as grainy as DX. I suppose somebody, with the skills, can make an ogl port. I'm not knowledgable about the technical details to say this will happen.

Yep, OpenGL seems to run faster here too, though I had some multitexturing probs in UT2k3. Seems more like a bad driver on epic's side than OpenGL itself to me, though I could be very wrong.
I'd love to see an OpenGL driver, even on Windows. Just because I get 10 extra FPS, and they do matter: my average right now is 30 FPS.
