Qrack WideScreen

[Mindf!3ldzX]

anyway to stop Qrack from using widescreen w/o distorting the fuck out of the visuals ?

(try running qrack in 1024x76


I always said something about Qrack didnt feel right ,and SNS Spoil3d pointed this out a few days ago,and THIS is whats fucking things up.

Qrack is excellent,I enjoy the graphics,just the same as JoeQuake
but

WideScreen? C.T.F.O....

if there isnt a way to turn this off,Might I suggest implementing a way to turn this off

yellow, I tried editing the batch file

glQrack.exe -noforcemparms -conwidth 1024 -conheight 768 -width 1024 -height 768 -zone 1024 -bpp 32 -refreshrate 100 -mem 64

first I just changed resolution cmd line stuff
I got the error Couldnt set fullscreen DIB mode

figured it was the console cmd being at 640x480 , so I raised that to match
-width 1024 and -height 768

same error message.

I really appreciate the help trying to fix this,but

the problem doesnt need to be fixed by batch files,nor should be it be fixed by "having to do this/that/&the other"

It should be fixed at the root of the problem (I dont know what this is , either)

Technology,you can only curse it,killing it isnt a option,atleast in my reality

*Note , this is my command line for GLPro,and JoeQuake ~
D:\Games\QUAKE\joequake-gl.exe -window -heapsize 256000 -zone 1024 -width 1152 -height 864

both GLPro & JoeQuake accept that command line 100% no problems at all,no stretching.everything is in perfect proportions.
Qrack on the otherhand opens in a "Widescreen" format.

SNS SPoil3d has the same problem.

Try changing to another -refreshrate 75 or 85

Hmmm, didnt think the refreshrate could affect the display size. thought it only affected how fast the screen updates.

while im talking about Refresh rate's , can a low refreshrate limit your frames per second perhaps?

if anyone can answer that Would appreciate it highly, soon as I finish watching Tommorows Nobody - Episode 4, I'll see what Qrack is using on default and try raising it / changing it.

Yellow Batch file used a -refreshrate but I never paid it any attention.

Lower refresh rate will lower your fps only if you have vsync on

I don't know the advantages to that (batch files) over a Windows shortcut, but -refreshrate is only to override your video card's normal refreshrate (which is probably 60).

I was hoping Yellow would answer this because I am only confidently familiar with QRack to the extent that it has JoeQuake 0.14 features.

How about posting a screenshot, Mindz. I'm sure if you do that the question will get answered. My lack of imagination makes it so I for one can't visualize your problem.

Do show_fps 1 in QRack and then figure out the average FPS you are getting --- like if it varies from 60 to 100 then pick 80.

Then do ... cl_maxfps 80 (where 80 is replaced by your #).

This will ensure smoothness in-game. Capping too high is bad.

I did talk to mindz about it via msn. I dunno what's up I'm gonna ask r00k next time I see online.
