Weird graphics issue... a friend is having issues

Hey everyone, a Steam friend of mine is trying to get TDM running and is having a few graphics issues. (I do believe he runs decent machine.

 

Been awhile and I was never good at troubleshooting this stuff anyway. And I haven't seen this before, look familiar?

These are also issues he's having:

 

FOV is narrow

The ingame menu is fuzzy as fuck for any mission but the training mission

 

ATI Radeon 5900 series

Dark is the sway that mows like a harvest

Also the in game menu being fuzzy for everything but the training mission, usually means that he installed the training mission, then changed his resolution settings.

 

To fix that, uninstall the training mission, have him set his resolution to 1920x1200, quit Dark Mod. Go back in and the menu should be not fuzzy. This resolution will also propagate to the missions when they are installed and first run.

The issue with the colors can be fixed with "tdm_updateCookedMathData 1" in the console. For the low fov, type "/seta g_fov 90" in the console also. Restart Darkmod.

Then he can install the Training mission, but before doing that, make sure he goes into the training mission FM folder and delete the ini file there so a new one gets created, based on the main one.

EDIT: I believe this happened because each mission had it's own separate ini file so you could change things while playing a mission, and once uninstalled, the settings would revert back to before you installed that mission because Dark Mod is now using the ini file in the main directory.

This won't happen in 1.08 though AFAIK. Which is coming very soon.

I always assumed I'd taste like boot leather.

      Finally got my PC back from the shop after my SSD got corrupted a week ago and damaged my motherboard. Scary stuff, but thank goodness it happened right after two months of FM development instead of wiping all my work before I could release it. New SSD, repaired Motherboard and BIOS, and we're ready to start working on my second FM with some added version control in the cloud just to be safe!

      I've updated the articles for your FMs and your author category at the wiki. Your newer nickname (DeTeEff) now comes first, and the one in parentheses is your older nickname (Fieldmedic). Just to avoid confusing people who played your FMs years ago and remember your older nickname. I've added a wiki article for your latest FM, Who Watches the Watcher?, as part of my current updating efforts. Unless I overlooked something, you have five different FMs so far.

      I've finally managed to log in to The Dark Mod Wiki. I'm back in the saddle and before the holidays start in full, I'll be adding a few new FM articles and doing other updates. Written in Stone is already done.
