All the video display screens within the game including interactive ones and the ammo displays on the relevant guns are screwed.


if you stand still and rotate the ammo displays flick from being ok to being ok in the bottom right triangle and background colour or black in the top-left triangle

monitors and flat-screens in tha game act similarly the four triangles from each edge to the middle indepently flick working or not and 2interactive screens have not worked at all atm.

the one to raise the lift in level Level 15: Dispersal Facility i had to use nocliping cheat to get down.

(Ok i have now realised about thhe lift to the panel upstairs but i still looks screwy)
*****but now i am stuck at Level 26: DATA PROCESSING SECURITY with the task to realline the red power lazers for the second time(it was guesswork at where to click the previous lazer realline interactive screen to)*****

Try re-setting your config & see if it helps.

Step by step:

Go into q4base folder & delete Quake4Config.cfg. (move any autoexec.cfg you might have as well)
Now launch Quake 4 & goto Settings>System & click Auto Detect Settings. Once that is done, click Advanced Audio Settings & make sure Sound System is set to Default. Also turn off EAX.. set it to No.

If that doesn't help, make sure you have the latest display drivers for your graphics card. I assume the XFX is an NVidia card. [ NVidia Display Drivers ]

Good luck.

My drivers are 81.98 i have to set smp=o in config coz i havent done the regpatch to turn off nvidia driver dual core optimizations but it still uses ~80% of total cpu while running


i cant use eax anyhow coz the ALC850 i got is onboard and is only eax2 or somin

Wicked Thanks Burpy deleted config, Auto'd settings, Turn res back up and away I went.


All ammo readouts and display fine again.
