Version 1.31 and r_mode -1

Post by DRuM »

Strange little problem which doesn't occur on 1.32.

If I switch to version 1.31 and go onto certain maps like DM2 or one of the defrag maps, the game freezes up after a few seconds. I've only discovered this in skirmish with or without a bot present, don't know if it would happen online, I imagine it would. If I change r_mode -1 back to something else, such as r_mode 4, it doesn't freeze. But not having r_mode -1 means I can't make use of my custom height and width which is 1920 x 1080, native for my monitor, and the display reverts to a squashed image. Obviously it's not a major issue as I rarely go onto any q3a server now as I play qlive more. But there is one server with players I sometimes jump on which is 1.31, just because one or two friends of mine are there. DM2 has never come up on that server so I don't know what would happen, but it would probably freeze. I'm just curious as to why this might happen on 1.31 but not without r_mode -1, any idea?

maybe that's why they made 1.32
custom resolutions weren't a big deal when the game was younger because everyone used CRTs and they were all 4:3. likely took a few point releases to get the kinks worked out of r_mode -1.

solution: don't play 1.31
