Post by: ThomPhoenix on February 09, 2005, 07:08:44 pm: Make a screenshot, that will help the devs.

Post by: varblizer on February 09, 2005, 07:09:59 pm: This is just a guess, but try typing /spawn in the command field. Only use it for bugs/glitches though. It\'s a cheap way to get back to Hydlaa.
Title: im in the center of the plaza
Post by: Slagle on February 09, 2005, 07:12:49 pm: all of my chars are in different locations and it still does it... and i cant type /spawn because i have to click on the chat...and clicking makes it so my whole screen turns green adn i cant do anything...
Title: the wierd thing is...
Post by: Slagle on February 09, 2005, 07:22:39 pm: it only does this ingame and not when im choosing my char...so i figured its just my comp being slow...so i ran doom 3 (takes way more to run than this) and no green screen... so im figurin its the game...but no1 else has the problem so im confuzed

Post by: ThomPhoenix on February 09, 2005, 07:41:52 pm: You could post your computer specs yes, if turning vertex off doesn\'t work. You make screenshots with the /screenshot command, but that doens\'t seem to work with you, so you could use the printscreen button. Then you must go to paint (if you\'re using windows) and paste it there and then save it.
Title: ok..
Post by: Slagle on February 09, 2005, 07:47:05 pm: ummm...ill just read you what it says on the comp...

Title: and what is the print screen button?
Post by: Slagle on February 09, 2005, 07:48:23 pm: ?

Post by: Moogie on February 09, 2005, 08:14:42 pm: Wow, that\'s weird. What\'s your graphics card and is it running the latest drivers available?
Title: lol...
Post by: Slagle on February 09, 2005, 08:16:32 pm: how do i check that?
and why would it run yesterday and not today, did the server upgrade or somethin?
Title:
Post by: Moogie on February 09, 2005, 08:20:53 pm: Erm...

Okay, we\'ll try this way:

Go to Start and choose Run
Type \"dxdiag\" (no quotes) and press Enter
In the new window that appears, find the information about Graphics card

And if you don\'t know whether you\'re using the latest drivers, then simply put, you\'re not. Go to the manufacturer\'s website and download/install them.
Title: The fog has lifted...
Post by: Slagle on February 09, 2005, 08:35:40 pm: Before i checked for the updates i logged back on because i did the reinstall earlier and it works now...srry for the troubles... im still gunna get those updates though thx guys.

Post by: ThomPhoenix on February 09, 2005, 08:46:20 pm: About printscreen.
You\'re keyboard is divided into three parts.
1 the letters
2 arrow keys and other buttons
3 numbers
The printscreen button is in the second part. There\'s 9 buttons above the arrow keys and the printscreen button is in the upper left corner.

And Moogie, there\'s the possibility that he has on-board graphics, because he also has a celeron processor, and those are not very \"high end\". Pentium 4 computers are more likely to have a graphics card then celeron computers.

edit:
Okay, that\'s great Slagle. The installation might have been corrupt or something. Good luck with planeshift!

Post by: dewed on February 10, 2005, 05:15:32 am: With the odd amount of ram he posted he almost certainly has an integrated video card that shares system RAM (typically much slowe than VRAM) likely similar to older HP or Compaq system.. just my guess
