Topic: Text, Textures, and Graphics are garbled

Whenever I run TeeWorlds it seems that Fonts, textures, and graphics don't load.

I'm thinking that there might be some incompatible drivers or something on my computer, although I'm not quite sure.

I'm currently running Windows XP Pro SP3. I have a laptop with an AMD Turion 64 X2, integrated Nvidia Geforce 6150 Go, and 2 gb ram.

I have updated my video card drivers two times over/reinstalling.

The same graphics problem happens in another game as well (assualtcube).

Anyone know what could be the problem and how to fix it?

Re: Text, Textures, and Graphics are garbled

Is your antialiasing turned on? Is it on max level? If it is, try turning off antialiasing in the advanced videocard settings. You can also see if there are any settings there that might cause the problem. In any case you can set all the options to the lowest level or just turn them off - see if that helps.

I tried turning off Anti aliasing but there was no discernible difference, still the same thing as the image above.

Hmm, I tried making a shortcut of Teeworlds.exe and appended -w but when I executed, it just loaded in fullscreen like normal and with the same graphics problems.

/Documents and Settings/you/teeworlds/

(or something like this)

edit the settings.cfg file that is there: change the "gfx_fullscreen 1" to "gfx_fullscreen 0" and it should put you in the windowed mode when you run the exe.

That worked to change it to windowed mode! Although still the same problem occurs. I wonder if it's something wrong on my end besides my drivers or something since I mentioned earlier the same problem happens on another game as well, AssualtCube.

I should also mention that this shows up in the command prompt window aside Teeworlds.

Re: Text, Textures, and Graphics are garbled

I changed it from 800x600 to this:

gfx_screen_width 1280
gfx_screen_height 800

It's just a larger screen now (same as native resolution), but same graphics and such. I'll try checking through settings.cfg more and see if there are any other tweaks.

Thanks everyone for giving me advice and helping me troubleshoot through this, will get it working eventually!

Re: Text, Textures, and Graphics are garbled

PolskaR: "Failed to load autoexec.cfg" is a normal thing, everybody gets it. It's just a feature for the devs, so there's nothing to worry about.

Maybe your SDL library is corrupted? Or something? Go here: http://www.libsdl.org/release/SDL-1.2.13-win32.zip

Download the file, unzip it and put the SDL.dll into your /Windows/System32/ folder. I have no idea it will help, but let's see.

The dumber people think you are, the more surprised they're going to be when you kill them.
