Failed Hardware and my res

[Phenax]

1440x900 does not work. All others work.

Code: [Select]

...setting mode 21: invalid mode
ref_gl::R_SetMode() - invalid mode


I get failed hardware check when I join a server. I have the latest + searched forums for answer.


No amd64 game + I'll get banned for playing with mods but using 1440x900 with this custom resolution patch it works:

Code: [Select]

Owell thx D:

Strange my 1440x900 worked. I was thinking it could be the build but mine worked with 18 & 19. I think Xbain had a similar problem try shootin him a PM or search for his thread.

[jitspoe]

What build are you using?  You need to use official binaries when you play on public servers (to prevent cheating).

Edit: I'll look into adding that patch to build 20.

Edit 2: Just thought about this - the Linux video code may not have been updated to add the new modes.

I'm using build 18 vanilla with x86 emulation on amd64, failed hardware is my biggest issue

[jitspoe]

Try build 19: http://dplogin.com/files/clients/linux/paintball2_build019_linux_full_pretest1.tar.gz

If that doesn't work, I guess I'll have to get a 64bit livecd and see if I can figure out what's wrong.

[Phenax]

Doesn't work.

[jitspoe]

K, I'll look into testing with 64 bit linux after the build 19 release.
