I wonder who else requested that?

Nice Secret of Mana GIF animation, LockNLoad.

Ok, quick question about setting the refresh rate in Qrack. As far as I can tell there are two ways to do it using the command line paramater -refreshrate xx or using the console variable vid_refreshrate xx and then perform a vid_restart. Now here is a screenshot of me trying to do the latter method with already having done -refreshrate 85 in the command line.

Now as you can see in the screenshot it says that my vid_mode upon startup is 1280x960x32bpp at 60 Hz (remeber I set -refreshrate 85 in command line).

I then try to set the refreshrate at 60 with vid_refreshrate 60, and perform a vid_restart. It says that this video mode is not valid. I set vid_refreshrate back to 85 and try to do a vid_restart, nothing happens, presumably because I'm already in that vid_mode.

I now try to goto 72 Hz with vid_refreshrate 72, and it works! I get a vid_mode of 1280x960x32bpp at 72 Hz.

I do this one more time with 85 Hz, and it comes back to tell me I'm at 1280x960x32bpp at 60 Hz. Why does it say 60 Hz when I just set to 85 Hz?

Edit: Not such a quick question afterall.

I'd suggest using the commandline or options menu video settings.
vid_refreshrate is for internal use.

edit: anytime a mode attempt errors out it flips back to basic level.

No ideas on my problem posted at comment #101?

Is more information needed?

Well i know my monitor can support 1280x960x32 at 85 Hz, but I can't seem to get Qrack to either say that it is indeed using this vid_mode or it is using this vid_mode but simply says it is at 60 Hz. I am using -refreshrate 85 in the command line, and in the video settings it reflects this. However, on start up, it still says that the vid_mode is at 60 Hz.

What command line are you using?

I use this:

glqrack -refreshrate 85 -nomtex -noforcemaccel -noforcemparms -wavonly -width 1280 -height 960 -bpp 32 -zone 2048 -noipx -nojoy -dinput -heapsize 128000

Probably don't need the -wavonly, i think i'm the only one who uses that.

Thanks papasmurf. That command line works. I'll hafta play around later to find out why.

This is what I was using:

glQrack -iplog -mem 32 -game fvf -width 800 -height 600 -dinput -noforcemparms -bpp 32 -zone 1024 -heapsize 32000 -m_smooth

I'm sure some of that is redundant or doesn't apply to qrack, but I'm too lazy to care.

[RocketGuy]

You don't need -iplog for qrack, it's always on, that should be in PQ too.

correct, the top line in the console output will print (640x480x16) or if u specify -width -height -refreshrate its still will show 60hz (minor cosmetic glitch i'll look into), but in the menu or show_fps it should have ~85hz

Ya pretty odd, if all defaults don't work for you.. An increased zone or heapsize may work better, if your using a large texture folder, or a bunch of loc files, or md3 models etc...

hey, where did you get your build!?

Yah, it says i'm at 85 Hz in the menu video options, it just doesn't say it on startup or in the console with the command vid_describecurrentmode.

Any thoughts on making cl_maxfps 0 unlimited framerate instead of a 0 framerate. In fact, I believe in ezquake if you try and set your framerate to below 10 it bottoms out at 10, and if you set it at 0, it is unlimited.
