OpenGL and OFP

[KoRnboy]

Will there ever be OpenGL suport of OFP?

I mean D3D looks pretty crapy on my radeon, I get freezes and the shadows are all messed up. You think you Dev guys could add in OpenGL please?

[KoRnboy]

Oh yes one more thing, D3D T&L what does T&L have over normal D3D and what does it mean?

Thanks KoRnboy!

it wont have Open GL

as for the T&L I'm wondering to, mine is off and OFP looks great on my Radeon 32 mg DDR

The T&L option lets the graphics card handle the Transformations & Lighting, which offloads the CPU. It also isn't supported by all graphics cards.

If you have a fast CPU, you may not see a difference when selecting Hardware T&L, or may even notice a slowdown in performance.

I seem to recall reading a comment from one of the OFP developers that no OpenGL support is planned.

:-(

OpenGL :-(

I have a Radeon 32DDR and the shadows look like crap. also the darn game freeze on a regular basis.

So you don't ask me my specs are:

900Mhz T-bird
512 PC-133 Ram
30Gb HD
SB Live! Value
Radeon 32MB DDR
I have new drivers for Radeon.

Well I guess I should just go ahead and ask, is it just ME or does some( well a lot) of the graphics look not that great? Mainly I can say the shadows it's not like they look just bad it's the fact that I can't see gun shadows and I see the joints in the shadows where the arms legs ect. connect.

Enlightin me if you will WHY they wont add OpenGL? Given the issues and how D3D does this game absolutly NO justice, I'd almost be willing to pay for that... of corse depends on the price.

Ok the new drivers I got for my Radeon(not ATI's) or it could be the 1.26 beta made the shadows and everything smooth. So that is all fixed. Althought OpenGL still runs better :-)

I only get proper shadows if I run with 32-bit colour. If you're running with 16-bit colour, that may explain why the shadows look a bit naff.

Try disabling W-buffer support in your Radeon's 3D3 settings.  This helped the completely cleared up my "scrambled shadows" problem on my Radeon system.

no open gl,
bis= idiots

um OGL is a dead dog
DirectX runs faster


as for crappy shadows, play with your 8 bit stencil in you display Dir3D properties and reboot
