Circa Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 Some graphics cards don't support it. My old Dell PC didn't support it back in the day. Link to comment
Ping Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 r_dynamicglow 2 is amongst my favourite settings ever and makes for very interesting duels. Link to comment
Langerd Posted July 25, 2015 Author Share Posted July 25, 2015 I have it but it still doesnt work... Yeah @@Circa is right... it doesnt work. There is no way to fix this?? (maybe fix is bad way to call it... make it ) Link to comment
Cerez Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 Dynamic glow can be a pain, yeah. Out of three computers I had JKA installed on, only one was able to run it. One graphics card didn't know it, the other ran it really resource heavy. Link to comment
z3filus Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 I've never heard of a graphics card that doesnt support the dynamic glow in Jedi Academy. Try updating your graphic card drivers. Link to comment
Langerd Posted July 26, 2015 Author Share Posted July 26, 2015 Downloaded the patch for one thing... and it doesnt work because of graphic card.. lucky me. Well i am rly confused by it O.O and i dont rly know if downloading the drivers will work. And to begin with i have never play eith this drivers so... Link to comment
Xycaleth Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 What graphics card do you have? Link to comment
Veosar Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 It happens, the setting doesn't work on every computer :/ All I can offer is this mod: http://jkhub.org/files/file/1484-qeffects-pro/. Might be useful. Link to comment
z3filus Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 it does work on every computer, just make sure your graphics card is up to date. Link to comment
Circa Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 It doesn't though. I had the same issue with my old PC. Graphics card was up to date. Everything was up to date. My thread on Filefront was full of people saying what you're saying until someone confirmed that not every graphics card supports it. Cerez likes this Link to comment
z3filus Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 no offense, but we must be talking about a GC from the stoneage Link to comment
Langerd Posted July 27, 2015 Author Share Posted July 27, 2015 Well this computer is not bad... tommorow i will tell You what graphic card i have. Link to comment
Cerez Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 It's not about how old it is. It is whether the graphics card has the right implementation for the dynamic glow, and whether it plays it without having to rely on a lot of resources to do it. It's about the model and make of the graphics card, not so much about the age of the computer -- though newer naturally helps, and updating the driver(s) sometimes adds the implementation to the graphics card, fixing the lack, as @ rightly pointed out.

Raz0r Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Specifically, it requires certain OpenGL extensions which were not supported by earlier cards. Another issue on top of this is that the list of supported extensions grew too large for JA (causing it to crash) so driver vendors added in a hack to only report certain extensions (potentially removing the extension that dynamic glow relies on) OpenJK fixes the crash, and the driver will report the full set of extensions. If it doesn't work on OpenJK, the only answer is: your card is too old to support this OpenGL extension. In some cases, though not generally advisable at all, it could be worth checking out an OpenGL wrapper (such as GLDirect) that implements the OpenGL extensions whilst using a Direct3D driver. This is usually implemented as an OpenGL DLL that sits next to JA's executable, so it will load this driver instead of the system driver. Langerd, Cerez and Circa like this Link to comment
The Marshall666 Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 Try setting thisseta r_ext_multitexture "1"seta r_DynamicGlow "1" Hopefully this will fix your issue Link to comment
