32 bits in Unreal?

Chairman Mao · 27th Aug 2000, 11:54 AM

running Unreal with the 226 patch in D3D and i can't get 32 bits to work. i have tried changing every reference in unreal ini. from 16 to 32 as well as D3d rendering (use 32 bits=true or false)but i'm still seeing those little squares on the screen.
i know that UT has an option in the GUI to select 16 or 32 bits but unreal doesn't.
Does Unreal support 32 bits?

Be sure you set it to 32 in windows itself under 'display properties -- settings'.

Right-mouseclick on the desktop....

thanks- it worked but i lost over 10 fps at 1024x768x32 in the opening fly-by.
funny that in UT the difference between 16 and 32 bits is only 2 frames per second using the 420 patch( i have a g-force with the det.3 6.18 drivers) which is acceptable.
i'll probably drop it back to 16 bits but thanks for your reply.

Thats odd...

Unreal 225f and 226a(high details, all goodies, 800/600)=ave 35fps
UT 420(med tex & skin, all goods, 800/600)=ave 30fps
UT 348DEMO(high tex & skin, all goods, 800/600) ave 40fps

proof that the code for UT has become a monster over development.
