Quake 4 textures

[stinkball]

I'm not having any performance problems, but the textures in quake 4 are worse looking than low-quality in windows. Is there a way to fix this? as far as performance goes, it runs about the same as in windows.

It could be the fact that you are running an ATI card. Opengl is worse on ATI than on Nvidia, especially under Linux.

Can you post a screenshot of Quake 4 here? And at what resolution and quality settings are you running it?

[stinkball]

1280x1024 on High quality.

How do you take a screenshot?

i had to take a delayed screenshot, but here is the guy floating in space with his guts spilled out:

the tearing in the image isn't there, i think it has to do with how i took the screenshot.

here is a similar screenshot taken in windows:

That does look ugly. My game looks like yours in Windows, I haven't tested it on Windows seeing as I haven't got it installed there.

My only guess is that it is the ATI graphics..

Did anyone ever find a solution to this problem?

I'm dealing with this now. Hopefully ATI's drivers will be better with the coming opengl rewrite.

Where can I download a demo of quake 4 for Linux? Thanks.

I have similar problem with ATI Graphic card, i can't believe, it has been so long time and still same problem. The funny thing is, that everything works - effects are great only textures look really awful. I think i'm gonna sell the ATI card and buy Nvidia, which i had previously used for 8 years, but i gave ati a try, too bad for me lol.
