Quote me from dbd forums:

"quote author Crazy"
hey i need some help, badly!

if i don't get help, i will not be able to play armagetron ever again=O

see what happened is, i was playing arma and my internet crapped out making the game freeze.
so i had to force quit.

next time i started armagetron up the screen is all messed up....
i'll get my camera and post some pics(normal comp screenshot and ingame screenshot does show it)



ok i couldn't find my camera so i did it with my cellphone, as you can see in the images, they are really messed up, it's not the camera, in real life it's a bit worst than you can see in the images/video

Images:
this is where i started to get worried





you can see it says 'High rubber' top center, thats from id server





Video:

any help to fix this is well appreciated

Do other 3D games work normally?

[Crazy]

yes, everything but armagetron works fine, and i can get armagetron to work normally by alt tab to new program and back again, or if i open armagetron as small screen instead of fullscreen. i have no idea whats wrong....

[epsy]

check the fullscreen rosultion arma uses

[Crazy]

640x480 it says, but my game has worked with those settings since i got my game over a year ago....and it's been working fine....


another problem i get is in wild forts and sumo's, sometimes i can't see the zones......yet i can see deathzones on those maps...

[QUARG]

What version of the client do you have? Try purging your user.cfg( put it in the trash).

[Crazy]

im running version 0.2.8.2.1

what will puting user.cfg in the trash do?
isn't that where all the files arma uses to run are?

[kyle]

easiest fix for any video problems is usually deleting user.cfg, as quarg said, but then you loose all your settings
c:\users\<your name>\application data\roaming\armagetronad\var
c:\documents and settings\<your name>\application data\armagetronad\var
something like that for location

back it up incase it does not fix it
or just move that file out of that folder and start tron again.
should fix it

[Crazy]

ok i'll try it,

hmm, i can't connect to CrazyTronners site anymore, is it still up kyle?

[Crazy]

ok so taking user.cfg out worked, but what about all my files and settings i have in it?

i have spent a long time getting it to how it is/was

i didn't delete user.cfg (only moved it to my desktop) and it worked, i tried moving it back and it was all messed up again!

[QUARG]

Ok well there must be some resolution command that is sending conflicting info to the client. I suggest you search the lines in the old user.cfg that you need and copy/paste them to the new one. Or you could take some time and compare the 2 files and find the malicious line(s). I am sure that the devs would be interested in knowing what caused it. You might consider posting the file here for their use.

[Crazy]

ok but i never learned to attach a file at this forum, how do you do it?

and should i post it here?or other?

Ct's forums have been having trouble tonight

in addition to what QUARG said basically just copy in the user settings

PLAYER_1

and the
INSTANT_CHAT_STRING_1_ commands

those are you instant chats and grid names
