Need a little Help.....

Unread post by Otis_Firefly »

So I got a new machine.... Acer Preditor - Nvidia GeForce GTX 660 - Windows 8 64 bit OS.

So when I get online to play UT the shit is dark as hell - I can hardly see anything in front of me. When I use the brightness adjustment in game it goes through the motions eg. - 1/10 - 2/10 - 3/10 ect but nothing changes.

Any help would be appreciated. Cant see to frag!

Thanks in advance!!!

Try this.

1. Download enhanced OpenGL renderer.

2. Extract to UnrealTournament\System and overwrite existing file.

3. In game go to Options -> Preferences -> Video and click on Change button.

4. In the new screen select "Show all devices" and OpenGL support.

windows 8 actualy works really well once you learned where they have hidden everything, i would advise you do the 8.1 update though, make things a little easier on windows 8, but you have to get it from the windows store on your apps page.
The music business is a cruel and shallow money trench, a long plastic hallway where thieves and pimps run free, and good men die like dogs,
There is also a negative side.
