Heres the deal. I downloaded Enemy Territory and holy sh*t, theres an option for 2048x1536...where do I sign up!!! . So I select it and it does everything as if it is resetting video settings and I get an error. I know my monitor can support the resolution and I know my open gl settings can support it. I have the Catalyst 10 drivers installed, so I doubt I need updated drivers. Any thoughts fellas?

    Did you try using direct3d?

    You cant change between direct3d and opengl.

    Even if you get it running, I really doubt it's gonna run well and maybe not at all. I sometimes play at 1280*1024, full detail, 8xAA 16x AF and it slows me down on some maps like the radar one.

    At 1600x1200 im atleast at 60 fps. 2048x1536 would still run good ....I think. Either way, I want to see how it looks.

    apparantly it seems you need QGL support from a 3dfx.

    Thats it guys? No ideas or advice?

    Well it seems that that resolustion was put there for a specific (obsolete) card ...unless you have the capability to emulate that card and utilize QGL I don't think you're in luck. On the other hand ...depending on the OS you use you may also be able to get a later 3dfx card and try it out.

    Also ...you may hunt around at www.opengl.org for a fix or emulator.

    I could be dead wrong as I usually am! LOL

    1. are you using multiple monitors? this will break the game..

    2. try copying the opengl dll's into the game directory and remove the 3dfxvgl file from the game folder...

    post back..

    well run it at lower res... trust me the game does not look any better. ET is free, we are lucky it looks as good as it does....

    But the game play is the greatest ever for a free FPS... I love the game... I play on Earthquakegaming servers 1 2 or 3 which ever is open.. I go by Name and its blue and black or Green and black.

    Im using only one monitor.
    Ill fiddle around with the dll switching thing. Where would I get the dll to replace the old ones?

    It's not that at all.

    3DFX had their own layer for talking to OpenGL and programs checked to see if cards are 3DFX so they can use 3DFXs layer to improve performance. Most games either check or ask you yourself (Half-Life and BG2 both have options "Default OGL" or "3DFX OGL").

    The error is clearly stated on the screen.
    OpenGL doesn't support that screen res. End of story.

    If opengl cant run that high, then why would they give you the option?
    And it appears that csimon can.

    Meh, bad wording.
    OpenGL won't work because something doesn't support it.

    ah ...problem solved!

    however ...I am running 2048x1240 (not 2048x1536) which is my native res on this monitor ...also using XGL900 OpenGL card. My monitor and card at home support this res the monitor is really old so I tune down a little.
