Issues fixed
Windows
Rendering issues when "Use Vertex Lighting" option is checked(top).
Unstable framerate and stuttering
- This performance issue can occur with newer graphics cards supporting OpenGL 4.0 and newer, it is most common on Windows Vista and Windows 7. Since the game is based on the Quake 3 engine and is using the same or a similar OpenGL version, the graphics card driver will handle the game correctly if it thinks that it is Quake 3.
| Instructions |
|---|
Glitched skybox and missing visual effects
- If
Use Vertex Lightingis checked in the advanced video options menu the game will be missing some HUD effects, also shadows, light and some textures in the maps, and in the later levels the skybox will be glitched.
| Instructions |
|---|
Linux
No sound
- This happens due to the fact the game uses OSS for sound output only.
