Non-existant Game Screen

Postby darthturtle » Thu Dec 24, 2009 2:28 am

Hello

I recently discovered the new v1.1b3 update on ModDB, and downloaded it. I unzipped the file into my SG folder, then started the game. I went into options to check out the new rotoscope effect, and I noticed a bloom option. I turned it on, then when I applied it, the only thing on my screen is a brighter version of my desktop. I tried re-starting the game, but the same thing happens. I can still hear the music, and SG appears on my taskbar, however, I cannot see the main menu.

I believe this problem is caused by the bloom effects and want to turn it off, but since I can't see anything in-game, it's nearly impossible.

I tried uninstalling the game, and installing it again, but the same thing happens.

Is there any way to change or reset the options without going into the game?

If you are on a Windows OS, navigate to "C:\Documents and Settings\YOUR USER NAME\Application Data\Smokin' Guns\smokinguns" & try deleting the q3config.cfg

Of course, you'll lose any other special settings as well.

or open the mentioned q3config.cfg and search for these two lines:

seta r_ext_framebuffer
seta r_ext_framebuffer_bloom

set them back to "0" -- like this:

seta r_ext_framebuffer "0"
seta r_ext_framebuffer_bloom "0"
