Be sure to read - The original game has long been tested and works without problems. Departures game glitches shaders - it is a problem with your computer, not a port. If you have a prehistoric garbage - it's your problem. I have no desire to maintain the old system.

This mod is hot, I really appreciate the work you are doing for this shooter gem. Will you add support for AMD cards at some point?
amd work after november driver update (win10), win7 broken
Yes, I can confirm. Perfectly working with lastest 21.3.1 !
Great mod, really enoyed playing the game.
What i noticed when playing the xatrix expansion is this: If i try to skip the xatrix logo video, the entire game gets stuck, and doesn't load anymore. If i don't skip the video, it loads fine. Unfortunately, in the error case I cannot create a logfile as when i exit manually using console no file was created despite the shortcut being:
+set game xatrix +set developer 1 +set logfile 2
yes I know about it.
try to skip the video through the space or enter
I'm having the same issue as BenzoSt with that weird graphical glitch. I am using an rx 5700 xt and just tried it out with the new driver and software update, 21.2.1. However, it's still broken
this is not a question for me but for amd. write to them on the forum. I have no desire to communicate with them
Can this mod be ran with Quake 2 pro?
These textures on multiplayer would feel like a new gabe.
flies separately, cutlets separately.
i installed just like it said but i can see, i can hear but the screen is in black, help please what i ve got to do?
read the port description on this page. there is a list of actions for problems.
