It says "v 0.6.2, 2.17".

I think that I accidentaly copy and paste the ddnet client in the teeworlds official client folder... Anyway, still works for me.

Okay that explains it. You probably have a problem with gfx_threaded and gfx_asyncrender. They were disabled by default in 2.17 and now they are always forced ON and can't be disabled. You will probably have the same problem in Teeworlds 0.7, as they did the same if I remember correctly. Can you check if it works on another computer? I'm really running out of ideas =/

Check what?? The ddnet client? (this is my own notebook, and if you'r saying that maybe I should quit with this issue and just play with another pc, that wont work.. :cry: because I don't have another avaible to play)

And there isn't a solution like deleting all the folders, and installing all again but in the version 0.7?

Mm one question, the "version 0.6.2" is the teeworlds official client, and the "2.17" is the ddnet version?

Yes, check DDNet Client on another computer to see if you have the same problem there or if it works.

You can also try deleting all DDNet folders and the Teeworlds settings folder (make a backup before) and download a new one. DDNet client does not need to be extracted in a Teeworlds folder, if that's what you think. You just make it a new folder.

Yes, 0.6.2 is TW client version that DDNet client is based on. 2.17 is DDNet version, but a very old one.

Next idea: Try setting gfx_finish 0

Alright, I tried to fix this with ddnet client 3.9. Download that and write to your settings.cfg:

Code: Select all

gfx_asyncrender_old 0
gfx_threaded_old 0
Edit: That solved it, in case anyone else gets the problem with an old computer.
