Errors that boot you from servers

[21]

I have noticed that during the last few months I have been kicked from a few servers with texture errors.  I played this game for over a year without any problems and now I have reloaded UT and it's Open GL patch over and over again lately. In all instances I was running version 436 and I used XP or Windows 7.  Any thoughts?

[Hermskii]

Yes. Which OpenGL driver are you using exactly?

21 said he recently downloaded the one off my site, but I checked and I have a hodgepodge in there, so I cleaned them up and renamed them better. So now in my downloads directory I have these 3 files:

//www.birdieman.com/downloads/utOpenGLDrv35.rar
//www.birdieman.com/downloads/utOpenGLDrv36.rar
//www.birdieman.com/downloads/utOpenGLDrv37.rar

You can't tell which version you have by looking at the dll in your system folder, but you can tell by the date of the dll, I believe the various Date Modified values are these:

V35 = Feb 22 2009
V36 = Nov 11 2009
V37 = Jul 25 2010

I myself am using V35. Below I'll post the openGL section from my UnrealTournament.ini. Be careful that some might be specific to your own install. Notice there are a couple of settings with notes behind them. One other that you may have to change would be RefreshRate, I think this should match the refresh rate of your monitor.

I'm using Version 36.  Seems okay right now.

[Hermskii]

Are you using S3TC high resolution textures too?

[21]

I'm not sure. Where would I look?  I'm not really good at this stuff..lol.

[Hermskii]

If you aren't sure then you are not using them. Trust me. Is it still all working for you good again now?

[21]

Yes, except I keep getting fluctuating ping.  Usually I fall between 0-50, last couple of days i was around 150-250.  Maybe my neighbours are downloading movies  lol.

[Hermskii]

Maybe your neighbor is EvilGrins! He likes movies.
