I did not use the S3texture tutorial cause this is the install i use ED from.
So i cant use the special textures.
But i did use the tweak your graphics thread at BuF.
I am using the enhanced OGL render.

I find it strange that i cannot get 1024X768 like i used to.
Yet this is a different card then i used to have.
you could allways try forcing it to 1024x768 by puttin it in manually in the UnrealTournament.ini it might not work but its worth a try :wink:

like this...


[WinDrv.WindowsClient]
WindowedViewportX=640
WindowedViewportY=480
WindowedColorBits=32
FullscreenViewportX=1280
FullscreenViewportY=800

Ever thought of trying a dual monitor setup? Here is an example of one & playing UT after the 1st min of the clip! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gy5Gv3fNiRQ
Here's one on how this guy did it with 5 monitors! http://mhg.planetquake.gamespy.com/

Nice Chef!
Wish I could play it with 1440x900 My max is 1280x1024 but it also work smooth. It's even fast as the old UT99 in Single Player :D

Maybe that's why i am limited to 800X600.
I run Dual Monitors on my system.
But i don't see the game in two screens , when i play it boots up in only one screen.

That video is kind of cool with the game across two screens. Would be cooler if the sides of the monitors where not so thick. Push them together more so there is less of a break between screens.

I use my dual screen when i'm mapping. I got ED on on monitor and tuts , calculator,texture pallets , actor lists and itunes jamming on the other monitor. :P

The 2nd link explains how to make it on both (or more){I believe it should be on your video setting to be on extended}, but only looks good if you do want to have them next to each other to get that wider viewing angle (that is why it's nice to have monitors with maximum glass screens & less side edges showing). I'm sure it's great for those who have 2 of the newer large flat screen types. :wink:
