Description: Disable support for VESA video modes in favor of DirectX DirectDraw video modes.No clue what those do, but according to the description (Reference) it looks like they do the opposite things-nodirectdraw
Game: WinQuake
Type: Parameter
Description: Disable DirectX DirectDraw video modes.
I'd not use both of those together.

Yah, i'm not sure how those work exactly. I know that when i used to run winquake I used both. In any event if he's just using one, for example -nodirectdraw, he will still crash on a CAx server, usually after a match has ended. He has no problems on a crmod server.Comment

The mod itself doesnt use those commands nor does it switch video modes or make calls to any video functions. I really dont see how it would work, and then, crash after end of match. I'll try to reproduce this crash, and see what the conflict is... but i'm almost certain it would be a driver issue.Comment

Yah, i'm not sure why it would work on the crmod server, and yet crash on the CAx server. I loaded up my wqpro and used the both nowindirect and nodirectdraw, and had no problems on rage. It's a very perplexing problem.
I asked him if he had the latest drivers for his video card, and he said he did. I'll try and figure out what card and drivers he's using.Comment
