I have vid_refreshrate "100" in autoexec, also tried it adding to the commandline, to no effect.

Would be nice if the next version had the option for 120 Hz in the menus. 

i don't know if you were part of the earlier discussion, but:

- vid_refreshrate (and related cvars) only take effect if you type "vid_restart"

- you can also set refreshrate in the Video Options menu and then "apply changes"

- in 0.80, there is a bug where vid_restart will kill your mouse input if you use -dinput

So, if you don't use -dinput, this should solve your problem. Otherwise, sorry, wait for the next version :( 

Hey there, fitzquake is pretty cool for singleplayer, but I have a problem :D
When I launch fitz, the gamma is very low, and if I set it and close the program, the gamma on my desktop is very high !
Any idea about how to fix this ?

That's what I do :) 

there's also a "setgamma" utility on the fitzquake page.

But, are you saying that after quitting fitzquake, the gamma doesn't go back to the pre-fitzquake setting? That must be a bug, because it is supposed to restore your desktop's original gamma when you exit the game. 

I've already used setgamma and it works 50% of the time.
Indeed the gamma doesn't go back to the pre-fitzquake setting...
For more precision, if I launch any quake port with opengl and launch something else with software renderer like Doom2 the same problem appear.
I have some others games with opengl/glports for doom and they works fine with my comp... 

Well, everything's OK - but the HUD does not show up. Unless I press TAB for map info, only a black line is drawn where the HUD's supposed to be.

Any suggestions? 

or run at desktop res 

Already at the desktop resolution. I found out that gl_clear 1 does the trick. However, the -fullsbar tag you've mentioned also solves the problem. Thanks a bunch! 

I tried out FitzQuake 0.80 on a 12 MB Voodoo2. It worked with Daniel Borca's last released MesaFX driver*, though with one glitch: skyboxes are rendered as untextured white surfaces. Lack of hardware support for GL_ARB_texture_env_combine means that overbrighting results in a performance hit, but it still manages around 60 fps in 640*480. That gets cut down to around 35 in 800*600, but overall this is still a really impressive showing for a video card that's almost as old now as VGA was when the Voodoo2 was brand new. :)

* Yes, the infamous one that "runs" Doom 3. 

I was told by somebody that voodoo support was broken, nice to hear that it mostly works.

Wait a second though, isn't Mesa a software opengl driver?

As far as I can tell, he basically took a version of Mesa and implemented it on top of Glide, thus allowing for Voodoo cards to shine. I'd be interested in seeing how a VSA-100 card fares, but am not about to go to the trouble to find a Voodoo5 just to appease that curiosity - especially when I have a 7800GS and 2600XT at hand. :) 

why is it when i open and close fitzquake, other windows move slightly down and to the right?

after opening and closing FQ enough, windows all end up in the bottom right corner unless they hit the right side of the screen first-- then they stop moving.

is this a windows thing or an FQ thing? 

this is the first i've heard of that feature. 

Maybe related to a screen resolution change? Windows is super annoying with those. 

i guess i should ask; this is happening when you run in fullscreen mode, right? 

If you're running Fitz in a different resolution than your desktop one, that may be it. 

And if they only move slightly, then you're lucky. I usually have half a dozen windows in the lower corner... 

I get that too, but running at desktop res. Everything moves southeast. 

it's in fullscreen mode. and yes, it's fucking irritating. ^_^;

it may happen with all/most other fullscreen games, but cause i'm working on maps or mods i'm continuously opening and closing quake so i only notice it with FQ.

i guess i'll see if there's a windows solution. (apart from uninstalling it. �_� ) 

is this XP? Vista? Something else? 

ati x1950 video card, if that info is of any value.

haven't been able to find even a single search hit on this subject though... which is wierd considering the amount of people who get it in just this thread. 

The version I have won't save the following values into the config file:

r_shadows
scr_conalpha
scr_conspeed

These keep getting wiped out of config.cfg :( 

Also, is there a way to get the crosshair to scale up? I want to run a super high res but the tiny crosshair taunts me with it's smallness. 

Oh, oh, one last question ... can I make the particles square somehow? I don't want them smooth.
