Graphic is scrambled
Graphic is scrambled
Due to some problems regarding extremly low fps, i set all the setings that could matter just a little bit, at the lovest setting possible, and it worked. However after a good nights sleep, i turn on my computer, start the game and get a result looking like some newage art. Ive tryed uninstalling the game and reeinstalling it, but with no result. What can i do?
That sounds like you disabled "Perspective Correction" in the graphics detail menu. It has three settings, off, on, and system default. Turning it off only leaves a non-garbled screen if you disable wall and floor textures. And it only gives you a speedup with some software rendering implementations. If my guess here is wrong, please provide a screenshot.
To gain FPS due to low fillrates, disabling floor rendering completely is actually the best method.

nothing seems to work, here is a screendump: http://www.zacariazdisciples.net/temp/pic.bmp

Wow. I was wondering which of perspective correction (off), infinite geometry (on) and ztrick (on) it is, but it doesn't appear to be any of them. It does look like something totally messed up. If it really has to do with your config, you can delete your config files to reset everything to defaults (~/.armagetronad in Linux, ~/Library/Application Support/Armagetron Advanced in Mac OS X, something in some application data folder in Windows).

ive made a debug file: http://www.zacariazdisciples.net/temp/debug.rec
It doesnt make much sence to me, just look like alot of initializing that doesnt have anything to do with the graphic at all, but maybe the answer is there somewhere.

The debug recording is currently unavailable, but it's mostly useless for graphics problems anyway. You forgot to clear the user specific data in C:\Documents and Settings\<user name>\Application Data\Armagetronad\, it seems.
The screenshot looks like the graphics mode is broken; the part of your PC that writes to the frame buffer has a different idea how it is build than the part that reads and displays it. You could try to go to windowed mode by pressing "f" once the game started in garbled mode, then work on new settings there.

Here is a working link to the file, i dont know why my server doesnt like .rec files

Most graphics settings aren't recorded at all, but one is: you have the "use SDL" option disabled, which uses a hacky way to init the screen, which was required for some setups the last time I made a survey (admittedly, that was a while back). Either clear your user data (location given above) Find the user.cfg or user_3.0.cfg file in the user data directory and edit the USE_SDL line to read
USE_SDL 1
instead of
USE_SDL 0
.
