Home Theater PC video problem

Recommended Posts

I just finished building a Pentium4 computer for my home theater pc. When I try to start Jedi Knight 2 single or multi all I get is flicker. I think the game is trying to run a resolution or refresh rate that is incompatible with my monitor. I had the same stinking problem with my last computer with Wolfenstein. I forgot how I solved that. Max Payne works fine.

 

I found the console command for setting the refresh rate:

seta r_displayrefresh "60"

 

but, I still get the flicker. I tried the program Refreshlock, but that didn't help either.

 

Here are my specs:

 

1800mhz P4, not o/c'd, yet

512meg 333mhz ddr

ATI Radeon 9700 Pro w/latest drivers

Asus P4PE/GBL mobo

Win XP Pro

Jedi Knight 2 v1.04

 

The monitor is a RCA MM36110 36" TV/monitor. It is only capable of 800x600 at 60hz. I got it a couple of years ago. If anyone can recommend a newer TV/monitor that won't break me please do so.

 

Is there a console command to change the resolution? That is the next thing I want to try.

 

Thanks!

I found the answer by installing JK2 on my other computer and then configuring it to 800x600.

 

The critical line in the jkconfig.cfg file is:

 

seta r_mode "4"

 

Default is "3" which would not work on the RCA MM36110.

 

The command, seta r_displayrefresh "60", may or may not be needed in this instance.
