Darkplaces error on windows

[AwesomeSteak]

Help me! Whenever i load darkplaces i get the loading screen like normal, but after that it shows an error on the top and shows a black screen with white flashes across it occasionally.

erm.... could you perhaps provide a screenshot? just press F12, and the screenshot will be placed in ID1\screenshots.
and then upload it to immg.com or imageshack or so and add it to your post

its more easy to help when we can see what code the error has

cuz it could be anything

[AwesomeSteak]

uploading now.

sorry, just becoming bored with playing kurok 0.4 over and over

well, first off what would help is a little more detail about your rig , what version of darkplaces , are you trying to use custom content?

provide us with as much detail as you can think of....

turn off r_glsl to start with, thats the error showing up.

in console type in

r_glsl and then hit tab button, start turning them off.

no, trying to run the regular quake 1, win32 i think.

Trying to turn off, but dont know how. im a newbie to this.

r_glsl 0

in console

this should *i think* disable all r_glsl features, and you'll be 1 step closer to using darkplaces.

"r_glsl is read only"

LordHavoc said to add this to the command line....


darkplaces.exe -noshaders. I recommend you create a shortcut to the darkplaces.exe (right click,create shortcut or send to - desktop as shortcut)


right click the shortcut , and in the Target field , add -noshaders with a space between darkplaces -noshaders


see if that does the trick
