1. NS is designed for Opengl

<a href='http://www.sis.com/products/graphics/315.htm' target='_blank'>http://www.sis.com/products/graphics/315.htm</a>
hope it helps..

There is no such file. Use one of the client download mirrors from the natural-selection.org main page.

It's interesting that they don't say anything about OpenGL performance, then specifically DO mention it in their tech <a href='http://www.sis.com/products/graphics/315faq.htm' target='_blank'>FAQ</a>. Oh well...

Hybrid_Lord

wait.. you mean the one i downloaded is... not the right one? or shouldent exist? hmmmm that would explain alot.. i'll try downloading it from the main site(witch i did in the first place) so i'm kinda stumped.. but i'll try again..
if i do and it still bugs up... i donno what else to do..
oh and i just tried opengl in NS just for the heck of it.. and it seems it does work.. yet still freezes..like.. 4 seconds after i start a game..

MonsieurEvil

If it freezes in one mode, freezing in another mode is quite likely too. Download a proper version of the NS client ONLY from one of our approved links on the natural-selection.org or readyroom.org webpages. Update your video drivers <b>and</b> audio drivers as well.

k i found a link on the Game Broadcasting Live forum and i played on opengl 100x700 (something) and when i play.. i get the multiplayer screen while i play.. so a part of the game can be seen but most is over lapped by the multiplayer screen ... i'm getting the latest sound drivers now (to be sure i got em)

MonsieurEvil

That can happen in any HL mod when you run a listenserver. Just hit your 'escape' key, then 'resume', and the box will go away. It will not happen in regular multiplayer.

Hybrid_Lord

well i found out on multi i can see everything on the map (whats supose to be there) but in lan game.. nothings there.. just the blue map..
and as far as the freezing goes.. well i'm running NS on 640x450 D3D and the game is working fine! jsut plad a PUG and only thing i didnt like was sometimes the game laggs every few seconds while fighting.. mbey thats just a D3D thing.. i donno..

D3D = garbage

if you can use OGL it works MUCH better!
