That has always been in UT2004 as far as I know. Called weapon bobbing, you could just disable it in UT2004´s settings.
Thank god I don´t get motion sick by the bobbing, because I like that feature.

THATS IT GUYS. i disabled drunk walking and now ONLY my gun spins, not my screen. you see, even with out drunk walk the gun still bobs left to right, up to down ect. but the effect is STILL to big. i can at least play now but damn its annoying. either find some way to fix the BW weapon bob or give the (total) disable option. yah, so my screen is ok now. my gun just flips out. |

So, you still get gun spinning? Like the screen spinning bug, but on the gun? And it happens occasionally? Screenshot? |

sorry i havnt been playing BW lately so i havnt got the chance to send you the picks RS. ok, i was playing early today online. i thought the white screen was gone but i guess i was wrong. not only does my gun flip out but i still got the white screen. well, my next comp wont be a PC (maybe not) (sorry guys) but it will be A LOT faster/better. i will still get your crummy mac bugs but i will not get lag/slow down. i will not play BW alot but will download new versions for future play (i am a faithful fan cuz i wont get a new comp for months). it might appear "out dated" by then, but damn its a fun mod. i have saved 500$ for a computer so far, recommendations will be very appreciated (mac or PC) (must be over 1.5 Ghz and ok gphx card). getting a PC will feel really strange/awkward but i will take what i can get. |

If you are a gamer I suggest buying a new PC and use your current Mac for school/job/etc. It will take me an essay to tell you how to recognize what is good and what is bad hardware-wise.  hmy:
Especially if you have no basic knowledge. But look at my thread, the parts I am going to buy are of very high quality. |

Buying a prebuilt PC is both expensive and often problematic, buying the parts and then asking a friend or service to put it together for a small fee, then you are good to go. James, just tell me your price range and maybe I can find good combination of hardware. And I don´t include monitor, speakers and case with the price, only the hardware.

Yes, they are good PC's...but maybe that's just because I'm a Dell certified techie
No, seriously tho..company I work at standardised on Dell, and we used to play CS late fridays-with permission (until some other manager f***d that up)-and the standard Dell's handled it very very well. Never mind the lucky few who had fancy ones... But yes, a DIY does have big advantages, mainly you can choose which motherboard, graphics etc. you want, to match your budget and specs

cool...... the reason that i am so unsure of this is that there is only one mac virus out as of now (discovered months ago). with PC's there are tons of virus's. we virus scanned our comp once and found a bunch of PC virus's but no mac ones. with only a small % of macs out there, no one would take the time to build a big virus for us. |

)That is basicly what my new system costs excluding the things I mentioned above. With my system you could play any game on all settings at maximum, even Quake 4 with 16xAF and 8xAA. |

Btw, since you're a certified techie and this is the support forum... I've had this graphics problem for a while now: whenever I play UT2K4 there are no decals (blood splatters, bullet holes...), even though they're turned on. Bloody Hell won't work either, except maybe some minor effects like underwater bleeding. Also some textures look messed up, though only from a certain distance / angle. Some look rough and jagged around the edges, others have black diagonal stripes on them that move / change according to distance & angle. Smoke effects always look fugly, with low res patches. It sounds worse than it is, tho; on many maps you hardly notice. Others, otoh, look so messed up they're practically unplayable, esp. some of the 'mini-me' (giant bedroom etc.) ones. Maybe these problems are somehow related, I dunno. Someone said it's probably the graphics card (drivers?), which could be true as it started after I'd installed a replacement. Old one busted a cap. 
When I play UT99 decals look fine, and there are no texture issues either afaik. Same with general use, no graphics problems, just in 2K4. Any idea what might be causing this? |

Have you tried a different renderer? (you have to use the INI file to do that afaik) |

Redshift is your graphics card an Nvidea or ATI? Also you should get the newest DirectX9 renderer namely DirectX9c!! and you should update your video card driver!! by the way what are the specs you play UT2k4 in? in the settings tab their is a option on how to render the game you need to have 3D reneder on or you'll kinda get what your getting! Also in Settings find the Game tab their and put decals to high! |

His problem is deeper than that since all other games seem to work fine graphically. Give us info on the hardware in your PC, use dxdiag or the program AIDA32. Make sure you have at least DirectX 8.1 and a video card that supports it. Plus you need video drivers that supports all the effects used in UT2004. But this could be non-related to hardware/software. Maybe this is an overheating issue, UT2004 puts a lot of work on the processor for example. |

ok.. update directX, video card drivers, then see what happens.. as for the funny decals, 16bit color depth is the main offender, and mipmaps, especially visible on terrain.. check in your options if decals and projectors are switched on. |

Looks like it was the projectors... The ugly / weird texture thing apparently had something to do with one of the other settings. Just enabled everything with medium or higher, and voila no more problems. Weird, didn't know lower settings could mess things up this much. :S Anyway, thanks guys, karmapoints all around! :laugh: (ShadowBlade first, obviously, for providing the winning answer. Also, looks like he could use some extra karma, lol). |

Now that I dig into my memories, I remember that I had the very same problem as you after changing video settings. The lighting from projectiles was very weird plus many other things. :S |

Crap, the fugly textures are back... with a vengeance! What the hell? For a while the problem seemed to be fixed... This time around I changed no settings. Especially blood effects on light textures like snow look hideous, as if the graphics card is all messed up. The blood basically 'highlights' a whole chunk of terrain, and in it everything looks low res. I'd post a pic, but the effects don't show up that well in .jpg format, only in .bmp (and those files are HUGE). Some smoke effects and explosions don't look too hot either (BW's look fine afaik), though the effect is more subtle... My PC is a Dell Dimension 4600 with 1 gig RAM and a 128 MB NVidia GeForce FX 5200, btw. Graphics settings are currently set to 'normal' or higher, with all options (trilinear filtering etc.) enabled. The problems also existed when most of these were off / lower. Well, at least the decal thing is fixed...  ry:

The problems also existed when most of these were off / lower. I would bet on driver/directx problems. get the latest nvidia drivers direct from nvidia website, don't worry about the dell ones. Then reload latest directx. set your UT2004 settings right down and see what happens, then slowly increase them after playing a while. I know UT2004 is rather heavy on the processor, so between the processor and grahpics card you could have a problem. starting at low settings and working your way up would confirm that... I have a GX150 (P3 800Mhz, 512Mb Ram, NVidia FX5200) as my "spare" do everything else but my programming PC, which is around 6 years old now, and it plays most games a LOT better than my normal Celeron 1.1Ghz PC !! so much so, that I moved the FX5200 from the Celeron PC in to this machine just for games! BUT, I can't turn all the settings very far up...games just not playable, but I also prefer speed to how good it looks...no good looking at very pretty things if you're getting splattered all over the place all the time!

Maybe the textures in UT2004 just look crap by average nowdays... 
But do you have texture resolution set to High or higher setting? Are you sure this doesn´t happen in other games? |

Must suck not being able to play your mod in its full glory... :S I value speed too, but the pretty effects (and they sure are pretty! The ones that show up right, anyway...) are really the icing on the cake. The difference between an ok game and a wicked sick immersive experience, basically. |
