Title: LOL. My menu's look like a little kid threw cake at the ground. (No joke)
Post by: dukeisdog on May 06, 2008, 08:15:36 PM

Ok. So yesterday I took my computer out of my room, and brought it downstairs. For some reason, it restet everything to my old default settings, which is weird. I wasn't able to go into fullscreen, which really ticked me off, because when I'm not in FS, i lag LOTS. I eventually figured it out, and was happy again.

So earlier today, at about 4:00 my time, which is right after I get home from school, I open up paintball to go play a game of Syncmasters Cable UB Cliff, and the whole menu and everything is smeared. I can't click on anything, because there aren't even any links to "Join Game" or go to adjust my "Settings".

I'd love to take a Screenie so that it'd be a bit more easier for you guys to somehow fix this problem, but there isn't a default screenshot setting, and I didn't need to take a S.S earlier, so I didn't set it to my normal button.

I REALLY wanna play paintball tonight, or tomorrow, but I'm to computer stupid to figure it out myself. I've tried everything. I couldn't find a console command or anything, so if someone can somehow help me, please post.

Thanks.  ;D

Edit -- Before anybody asks, yes I've re-installed Build 21, AND the update, and still nothing.

F12 is the default binding for a screenshot (I believe).

or, hit your print screen button and paste it into 'paint' and save it

Are you sure you just don't need to clean your monitor??

;D

Sounds like something is screwed up on your video card (or monitor, as KnacK suggested).

Ok. I got a picture.

I'd also like to say that I was trying to fix the screen size in paintball, so it would be a little bit bigger, and easier to play.

Here's the pic.

As you can clearly see, I put the game too big to fit my screen. As soon as I accepted the changes, this happened. Does anyone have any idea how to fix it?

Looks more like a bar code than cake.

Type "gl_mode 3" at the console (hit ~ to get to the console).

LOL.

Well either or.

I'll give that a try. Thanks.

Yeah. Sorry for double post.

It did work. I can now select going into games and fixing settings, and all of that stuff.

I was just about to play a game of UB cliff (Syncmasters Cable),  and now this is happening with my screen. It's not a HUGE problem, but I'd much prefer that I can play in fullscreen, because it reduces lag.

That's actually supposed to make the game run faster, but it's kind of pointless when you can just set the screen size smaller.  Try these:

Hit the + key.
"sizeup" at the console
"viewsize 100" at the console

Well when I play FS, it seems to run much better.

So something like this?

+ sizeup viewsize 100 ?

Like all in one?

Edit: Nvm. Figured it out. Thanks a lot Jitspoe.  ;D
