Hi2u
Whenever I wanted to play with a config that has r_mode 8 in it I had this fucked up screen with black corners and I found no way fix this. A couple of days ago I formatted just because my pc was like a slowpoke. So now everything is back to normal. Except for two things:
- 1. Whenever I use weaponbank 3 or 5 for example I have 125 fps, without any problem, because I have these binds in my config that say "bind mouse3 "weaponbank 3;com_maxfps 125". Since I formatted my pc I wanted to see how much fps I could get. So I open my console, hit com_maxfps 0... and my fps wont go any higher than 40 (stable 40 fps, doesnt go any lower or higher). What can be the cause of this?
- 2. My windows has 1024*764 (85 hz). But in ET I want to play on r_mode 8 (1152*864). My question to you is: isn't this bad for you monitor? Can playing on a r_mode higher than your windows resolution or the opposite shorten your life endurance of your monitor?
Thanks in advance.

- 2: r_mode 8 = 1280*1024 and no it is not a problem if your default desktop reso is different. It will change when you start ET, and restart when you close ET.
Black corners might be solved with r_mapoverbrightbits 3 + r_gamma 2 or higher.
You were on a server where com_maxfps is forced outside the [0,40) interval, so if you try to set it to 0 it gets forced to 40 (the closest allowed value)
