UT is flashing like a whore

Post by Gustavo6046 »

Hi all guys.

I done a normal play-test of UT99. however my screen blacked as I hit the fan in it and I had to restart the PC forcedly, making UT99 lose the UnrealTournament.ini stuff. I used the backup's one, but it's very old, and now UT keeps flashing like hell! I.e. I play windowed to see the temperature. The window is always black and keeps going to front then to black, as if it were "flashing" between visible and invisible! Please help!

Any help is appreciated. It is VITAL to playtest my new creation: The Weapon Deemer! (as suggested by papercoffee) And I can't with UT99 flashing like a whore!

Here is my UnrealTournament.ini:

If you have disabled the thermal protection/shutdown in the BIOS so that it keeps running, it will die soon.
At least raise the laptop off the table with 2 pens or pencils if you must use it before you clean it.


OK. Well it seems you are using the old DirectX 7 renderer to play, and OpenGL for widows and UEd
Make sure you have installed modern renderers such as the OMP0.99b-UT436-UT451 pack, then set them both to use D3D9

Then use the link at the top of the site "Tweak Your UT Graphics To The Maximum!"

I should be using OpenGL to play, not D3D! Much less D3D7!

What should I do? Go to Safe Mode? Use compatibility settings? Mess with UnrealTournament.ini? And how to open that prompt again to change renderer without having to play the game (i.e. facing again the flash)?

Also I did not deactivate BIOS thermal protection, I use now a fan to prevent overheating, but it is a external fan and is more like those used for ourselves to stay cool. That and a book beneath the laptop.

And it works! :)

It won't work for long I bet. If you are downgrading video settings that much just to keep the screen on, that thing is dying.

Backup everything you got.

And get a real Desktop computer. Even an old one. (P3 Tualatin systems run UT FAST, if you got a decent vid card.)

And UT is a whore. :tongue: :mrgreen:

Wonder if I could write a pointless mutator that would re-create this flashing so that we could all feel your pain..... :?:

Think I could, but I won't. I am going to take a nap instead.
You make backups while I sleep.

*I would like to nominate this thread for "Best Thread Title of the Month".

Edit: AFTER you get the thing either fixed or replaced, then follow Dr.Flays instructions on setting up the video stuff.

Trying to update a computer that is having serious hardware issues, will just make things worse not better.
It could seize up in the middle of an update and corrupt files etc.

It doesn't have many serious hardware isssues. It just is slow and old. Also the fan don't let it overheat. With HWiNFO I saw it is normally between 60 and 72 (low CPU usage), up to overheat temperature (unchecked max) (high CPU usage) without a fan, being 90 the overheating temperature of shutdown (I don't even know what BIOS is). Normally it ranges from 75 to 79 (low CPU usage), and up to 87 (high CPU usage) using a fan, which isn't enough for a overheat.

3 degrees is actually a good enough barrier considering the hotter it is, the faster is the exchange of temperature to the exterior which is eased by the fan's wind.

I could make a formula: (use ChatJax JavaScript Bookmarks to run) where $E_t^{t_0}$ is the temperature of laptop at time $t_0$ and $T$ is a CPU usage factor and $W$ a wind speed factor,

$$E_t^{t^0} = E_t^{t^0 - 1} + 2T - \frac{T + W}{t_0 - 1}$$

This is a rough formula of why the fan don't let it overheat. However I would have to include complex thermic physics to have a accurate formula.

Well that sure is some tricky formula that I would have to do some research on before I could comment on it. :omfg:
Like your PC, I am also old and a bit slow. (In the head. :what: :roll: )

One of my hobbies long ago was overclocking PC's. Did that for almost 10 years.
I would make them run faster and hotter than they were supposed to on purpose.
Then I would benchmark them and otherwise torture them until they crashed or locked up.
Also did IT/Network admin stuff for over 25 years. Back when it was interesting and not all outsourced.
I know the symptoms of PC's that are about to die.

Those temp numbers seem a bit high, although it is hard to say without knowing exactly what hardware you got there.
(Don't tell me. Don't want to know. I hate laptops. They all suck.)

Your PC is about to die.

You don't want to be running anywhere near the thermal shutdown temps for stable operation in any case.

Oh wow! I found a "OpenGLDrvDrv" thing in my UnrealTournament.ini. I replaced it by OpenGLDrv. I found it using Notepad++'s autocompletable words feature. When I was changing "D3DDrv.D3DRenderDevice" to "OpenGLDrv.OpenGLRenderDevice", a "OpenGLDrvDrv" thing appeared in the list of autocompletion. Then I gone to it via Notepad++ Find, replaced it and now it's working! Yay :)

It was the backup's fault! I don't know what happened because the backup is veery old and I don't know what could happen in that meantime... :/

I have a lot of old desktop PCs' carcasses above my closet. One of them might have a fan and/or better hardware... But I don't know. I only see the cases even from above my bed. Through the holes it is too dark. I might have to ask my father about it later.

I just think the term "whore" refers to freaked out people that do madness with others (read: piss others off (literally?)).

Perhaps you need to use a dictionary more.
"Whore" was a slang word for a prostitute, but is now used for someone with low moral standards.
Try http://www.reference.com

You temperatures show why many of us wisely use a big-box PC, and often an AMD CPU.
My 4-core 64 bit AMD CPU normal temperature is 45 deg. C. And I consider getting too hot to be above 60, and critical anywhere over 70.
The years I spent building PCs gave me a dislike for intel and their hot CPUs.
AMDs run at a slower speed to achieve the same results as an intel, so they are usually cooler.

OK then, I guess you did not read the "Tweak Your UT Graphics To The Maximum!" tutorial.
The D3D renderer is for DirectX 5-7 cards, and the original beta OpenGL renderer was not finished.
You are giving your CPU more work to do by using the old renderers. Update, and use D3D9 not D3D.
Do not use OpenGL on an intel graphics chip if you want full speed. Two hardware functions are disabled so they are done in software.

You can choose the renderer from the in-game options. The game will reload and ask you to choose.
Or you can edit the ini with notepad or an ini-editor. You do not need to hunt for the section you need to edit. It is the first large block of text, and the first line.

Code: Select all

[Engine.Engine]
GameRenderDevice=D3DDrv.D3DRenderDevice
You want to be using;

Code: Select all

[Engine.Engine]
GameRenderDevice=D3D9Drv.D3D9RenderDevice
WindowedRenderDevice=D3D9Drv.D3D9RenderDevice
The easiest way to edit the renderer settings and make sure all the new lines exist, is to use the Advanced Options window.
I often run UEd and open it from the "Advanced Options" menu item in the "View" menu.
To open it in UT, you must open the console and type "preferences".
All the working renderers should be listed with all their internal functions visible. You can simply double-click any False/True items or type a new value.
As soon as you move to another item the change is saved.

Nah, he is just being playful with context and meaning.
