OpenGL

[Bear]

I installed OpenGL rendera in my deus ex/system folder , following the artical on it , it has the music but I cant see anything on it , only a black screen.

[Dae]

Did you install a Deus Ex render, or Unreal one?

[[FTF]Freedom]

It's <a href="http://cwdohnal.home.mindspring.com/utglr/dxglr18.zip">THIS ONE</a> ya want.

[[FTF]Freedom]

Your dx.ini says that Glide is set as ur rendering device.... That could be why!

[Bear]

Nope does not work Freedom , I just downloaded of Freedom , the one that he posted , I have no idea if its unreal or Dx rendera. My graphics card is NIVIDA 5200 , could that be the prob?

[[FTF]Freedom]

That definitely is the DX renderer. Here's the page it's from:
http://cwdohnal.home.mindspring.com/utglr/

Copy the files into ur dx/system folder, start the game in safe mode and change the driver to "OpenGL" (you imte have to clikc "show all devices").

Then post back here. If it doesn't work I'll have another think.

PS: Your card is fine, mine is even older.

[Bear]

The old one dont work too lol.

Let's see, OpenGL has a known error that the brightness is way too low on some computers. Try the following: start DX, then when it's gone to fullscreenmode:
press your talk button (default = t)
Hold down backspace for a while
then type in: brightness
and press enter

Do that a couple of times and see if you can see anything on the screen meanwhile.

Mmm here , I dont know what is roung lol.

[[FTF]Freedom]

Umm... Beats me... haven't had time to look at your files yet tho.

Got the latest Nvidia ForceWare drivers??

[Dae]

Use OpenGL instead of D3D which is 'beta'

[[FTF]Freedom]

Check again, Dae, only some of the OpenGL versions are betas.

I think most players will tell ya that OpenGL gives better performance than D3D. Besides, I don't know of anybody who has had problems with the OpenGL renderers on Nvidia cards.

To hey: You could try the beta OpenGL renderers, but I reckon the dxglr 1.8 renderer works fine for most ppl. The 1.6 one gave me a problem where if I was at any height (e.g. walking along the walkways in Silo) I'd get black sections, almost as if there were giant BSP holes. But as I said, 1.8 really should work fine on your 5200 card.

D3D isn't OpenGL

[Bear]

Well , it dosent show on "show all devices"in safe mode. So I ahve to change threw Deus Ex.Ini

[[FTF]Freedom]

if it doesn't show you haven't installed it right lol.

ake sure to delete the old opengl.dll b4 adding the one from the download. btw make sure ur copying the download to ur system folder.

Just follow the guide in the KB, it has worked for everyone else!

[[FTF]Freedom]

Yep. Fuck, man. I coulda just said that =(
