Quake 4 and 1680x1050?

willhub · 14 Sep 2007 at 22:06

How come does Quake 4 not have this? Anyway to support it? I've got the latest 1.4.2 patch aswell.

r_customwidth 1680
r_customheight 1050
r_mode -1
vid_restart

id engines are great, since they allow you to use absolutely any resolution you like (providing your gfx/monitor driver supports it).

I guess this goes in the shortcode yea?

And will it then show that res in game? or dont I touch the res in game?

umm pretty sure it works as standard? change ratio to 16:10 then you can select 1680x1050

That's what you put in the console.
You could also edit the cfg (without the vid_restart) but I can't remember the directory structure for Quake4. It'll probably be in a "base" subdir or something.

And no, you don't touch the res in game.

Is it normal for me to be getting any sort of lag or mouse lag when at 1680x1050 with 16x Adaptive AA/16xAF enabled?

Yes. I never get responsive mouse movement with those graphical settings, even when the FPS is over 30.

Why does it do it? I wonder why when I stood still it was smooth :\
