i tried the settings thing gave i got alot of artifacts with them.
i tried d3d8 and d3d9 but somethings dont look the same as with directx7 for instance when someone has the shield belt it looks different.
i think when i compensate the brightness in ut in opengl i get the problem that when it runs in the old opengl mode the brightness is good but when it runs in 3.4 the brightness is to high and it seems to switch between them randomly.
i think im gonna stick with directx7 untill a new opengl driver for ut99 comes out then ill try that out and see if it fixes the problem.
and if and when im gonna buy a new pc im gonna make sure it has an nvidia vga card because i heard that they are better at opengl.

thnx for the help

i have searched for the gamma corection ,i use ati tray tools (dont like the catalist control center)i couldnt find it.
also the problem is ut seems to switch between too dark and good image .it switches between dark and good image at random at startup i have no idea why.
so even if i fixed the gamma it would startup to bright sometimes.

forget ur ini

it should be in tray tools under color settings, i will look it up for you


if i explain is explicit detail how to fix this fault will you do it?


by the way, yeah it does that, if you do the gamma fix then use f11 to change color in ut it shud work.... but u need to increase the gamma ....

i,ve downloaded the opengl3.4 driver again and installed it again i,ve restarted ut about 5 times every time it started ok . i have no idea why i ever had the problem.
i like the stable framerate of about 200 that the opengl driver gives i will probably stay with it unless it gives problems again.
