Here is my problem I start renegade I can hear sounds fine but I cannot see it I get the sounds of it starting and then the menu music and I can hear the mouse moving around on stuff but I cannot see it all I see is black and the computer I am using has been able to run renegade fine until now Sad for some reason, I have not changed anything to do with video card lately(if you would like to see specs of computer ask)also when I start the computer up the screen kinda flickers funny then goes normal and that started just today I think so I'm think that could have something to do with it if anyone could help that would be greatly appreciated

PS. This computer is new only a month old I think

Operating system?
Hardware?

Sounds like a video card problem (driver problem?).


You can find me in The KOSs2 (TK2) discord while I'm playing. Feel free to come and say hi! TK2 discord

Might be a problem with the older DirectX version that Renegade uses natively, are you using The client scripts?


Renguard is a wonderful initiative

If you only have a black screen on Renegade that can be caused by installing Core Patch 2 after scripts.dll 3.0 or higher. If you previously had scripts.dll 3.0 or higher either delete shaders.dll and d3d8.dll, or install scripts.dll 3.4.4 ( see link in CarrierII's post ) to fix the problem.

I'll try this and yes of course i have the lastest scripts and

OS > crappy Vista
Video card > a crappy intel one intel gma 950 244mb i think?
and i'm 100% sure that it is up to date driver wise

Vista is good and that problem is caused by Custom Scripts in 99.9999999% of all cases.

I deleted the two thing it works but it acts like it is sorta in a way in windowed mode when it is not other words it does not fill up the whole screen and just kinda put it's down and the res is at 800 x 700, there might be an easy solution but i can't find it I'll try playing around with the res for a bit when i had it on 800x700 before when it worked and i didn't have to delete anything that res filled the screen and worked well

EDIT: I played around with the res I put it to the highest it fills the screen but all the text and buttons are too small Sad

Have you unticked 'Windowed Mode' in the Renegade Config tool?

yes I'm not that noobish but I guess I have maybe explained it wrong it is not exactly like it is in windowed mode but it is not how it should be

P.s I'm not getting all snappy just saying that

Hey, it's just a question, no need to get snappy about it.

I was thinking could I use that set uv bias whatever that console command is to fix the small button/text problem if I set it to the highest res?

The only way to make the font bigger is to either decrease the resolution, get a larger monitor, or edit the config file that controls the font size. Option 3 is probably the best for you, assuming RG allows you to edit that ini file (I think it's data\stylemgr.ini, which would be allowed by RenGuard)

well I got it to a decent text but it cuts some things off(i.e. loading bar when joining a server) when I have it set to 1200x768+ and when I set it lower it does not fill the whole screen if there was a way to get it back to how it was before (that being when I set it to 800x600 it actually filled the whole screen and looked perfect) could someone please tell?

Are you using a widescreen monitor? If I remember correctly Renegade does not work very well on widescreen monitors...

Infact I am(it's actually a laptop widescreen moniter) but I am clueless of how it could just all work perfect at 800x600 then just suddenly not work and make me have to delete something and then it is still not perfect to me it worked fine on the monitor before, would reinstalling it do anything?
