I just tried the new beta and the first I recognized, was that I couldn't apply any refresh rate at all resolutions.
In the console it just says for example:

"Mode 8 1280x1024 fullscreen, Hz: N/A"


This is really a Problem, because the refresh rate is set to 60Hz (I looked it up in my Monitor settings by the way...) at any resolution. Im playing on a CRT.

Usually I play at 1600x1200 at 85Hz in Version 1.0.

P.S.: Is there no q3config.cfg needed in the new beta ?? I tried it with q3config and without....

Can't answer your other questions, but Smokin' Guns now stores configs, screenshots, and demos in your appdata:
%appdata%/Smokin' Guns


Fun games last night

[Hellrider]

Ah thx Pardner, I 've got two files in my Appdata/ SG folder : games.log and q3config.cfg.

Is this O.K. ??





And it was lots of fun last night

Yes. Screenshots & demos will also be stored in this location.
Was fun indeed last night! Hope we can do it again soon.

I've played some rounds and everything seems to work fine, except the refresh rate cannot be changed anymore.
Dunno if this helps :

Nice to see you're still around, Hellrider

The settings are in %appdata%\Smokin' Guns\smokinguns, if you haven't already figured that out. The 1.1 exe will read files both from the old and new config dirs, but files in the new dir take priority. It only writes to the new dir.

The refresh rate is set with r_displayRefresh. I get "Hz:N/A" too, but I have an LCD, so I suppose it's always just 60.

If I recall correctly, this cvar is not used at all in the code, thus setting it won't yield any changes. ioQuake will use your Desktop settings I assume. Can you try to force a certain refresh rate with your driver's control panel?

[torhu]

Yes, it seems the ioquake team removed it. On my old pc with CRT, I successfully used the Nvidia control panel to force the rate. I suppose that'll still work.

Nice to see you're still around, Hellrider

Hey , I'm glad to be back


You're right .It works, if I force it with the nvidia conrol panel. Thx for your help.
Nevertheless it's a pity, that the cvar is devoid of function

I assume this is because one can not savely detect whether the display supports a certain frequency, so it is not included in SDL. This is just a guess.

Either ways, you're down to your graphics driver

I was thinking the same thing. The end user should be held accountable for not screwing up their own equipment anyway.
