help! glpro renders in pure white

[foq]

As the title suggests, glpro (version 3.5 and baker's latest 3.99) render in white, as it would if I had no graphics card. However I started glquake.exe which comes with quake when you install it and that works fine, but I would like to get glpro working.

Try adding this to the commandline:

Good that it works now. "-no8bit" will turn off a special OpenGL optimization that can cause problems with some cards, the usual symptom is all-white textures.

it works

[Baker]

Cool. Sounds like the definitive fix for that in the future.

/I don't know if there is a performance difference between the behavior of -no8bit and without. If there isn't, -no8bit would certainly be a future candidate for the default behavior. Most engines do that.

performance differences should be neglegable anyway. This is 2008 and Quake is 12 years old. Computers shipping today could easily handle pretty much any form of Quake that doesn't have super texture packs with the integrated graphics processors they're packing.
