This is strange. I only have a 32 meg card. Well, but then I only play
in 800x600x32
BTW, there is a nice comparision available at
http://www.linuxgames.com/articles/nextgen3d/
with the D3D, OpenGL, OpenGL Linux chart at

No. AFAICT Win2k isn't too clever about this. I test the renderer on a
GeForce 2 GTS with 32 MB on an Athlon 800 with 128 MByte running Windows
98 SE and it works pretty well. But you are right, on Windows the
renderer consumes quite some memory. On Linux it should consume less.

I will add another variable to allow users to finetune the detail
texture blending (I guess you have to have a look at the source to see
what I mean
).
I would really LOVE to see Epic include it in their patches *hint, hint*
so I don't have support it. Especially the installation seems to be a
little hurdle for the average UT gamer. Frankly, if I had to follow do
similar steps for Quake 3 I would be lost too
And before I forget it. The installer that is available for download
falsly shows a "GOTY" splash screen in the menues. This is something
that will of course be fixed for the official release.
