Hykster 0 Posted October 30, 2001 When I load UT, it comes up with a window that says ERROR and then you click the OK button and then it launches the game in a window.. but for some reason, I CANNOT maximize it or play the game in full screen? I have a 3dfx Voodoo3 3000 and I downloaded the XP/2000 drivers from ntcompatible.com and it works just fine with other games and runs in 3dfx Glide mode. Anyone else having this problem? Is there a way to get the game to maximize itself? You click on the button to maximize and it doesn't work.. kinda PO'ed, LOL. Hykster Share this post Link to post
TaoArcher 0 Posted October 30, 2001 I cant get it to work at all....however the Direct3D support on my Voodoo5 seems to work fine, though you might have aperformance issue with it on a voodoo3 Share this post Link to post
Hykster 0 Posted October 30, 2001 It might be a performance issue.. but the game still runs and plays and looks fine in a window... but I don't want to play it in a window.. I just can't get it to maximize to full screen, LOL. Oh well. Hykster Share this post Link to post
mudpuppy 0 Posted October 30, 2001 I too am having the same problem...it is strange. If anyone knows how to fix it, please share. Share this post Link to post
mudpuppy 0 Posted October 30, 2001 Hey Hykster, I found a solution to the small window problem. Drag the window to the top left had corner of the screen. Put the cursor on the lower right hand corner of the window, leftclick and hold...drag to the botom right of your screen. Hope this works for you, it did for me. Share this post Link to post
Hykster 0 Posted October 31, 2001 I haven't really tried that yet.. all your doin' is just resizing the window I believe. The window might now be the size of the screen, but it's still bein' played in the window.. which sometimes takes more resources away from you along with not fully using the 3D video card. I just want to play it full screen.. the monitor goes into 800x600 mode and displays the game just like any other game.. with no title bar, menu bar and stuff like that. But I'll do it for the hell of it. Thanks! Laterz! Hykster Share this post Link to post
HarU 0 Posted November 1, 2001 Ive seen this before...and i can't exactly remember how i fixed it. I think it has something to do with the desktop resolution. Change it so the resolution and color for your desktop is the same as it is in the game. For instance, make your desktop 1024x768 16-bit and make it the same thing in the game. I think it has something to do with this, but i can't remember. Try it....hope it works. Share this post Link to post
wiggler13 0 Posted November 1, 2001 Unless you've found glide drivers, you need to tell UT to use the direct 3d driver. Once that switch is made you s/b fullscreen mode. If not, I think ALT+ENTER still applies (doesn't it?) Share this post Link to post
ballistic 0 Posted September 25, 2004 Yes, I think Wiggler13 is on the right track. Unreal recommend using the glide drivers but many graphics cards no longer support it... http://www.nvidia.com/object/IO_20011120_4349.html Does my NVIDIA-based graphics card support Glide? NVIDIA-based graphics cards offer hardware 3D support for the industry’s two standard APIs: OpenGL and Direct 3D. Most games available support one of these two APIs, or both. Some older games support a different API called Glide, which was a proprietary API designed for older 3dfx graphics cards. Since Glide was written specifically for 3dfx graphics cards, games running in Glide mode will not work with NVIDIA-based graphics cards. If you have a game you wish to play in hardware 3D mode, select either Direct 3D or OpenGL for your 3D device from within the games settings. Share this post Link to post
