C:ed is all you need!

c:ed corrupted my startup-sequence a few weeks ago since my c:blizkick line was too long when I saved it.. so no thanks
 
btw.. did you ever manage to run shogo or heretic?

Does adding +gl_texturemode gl_linear on the commandline work?

[odin]

Yeah, I think I played Shogo on my Franken 1200. But it was around the same time I got my first x86, so I'm not too sure.

-edit-
Come to think of it, I'm only on my second x86 desktop computer when counted in number of motherboards :O.

nope that didnt do much. I managed to replicate the problem though:
 
everytime the game saves a user.cfg file, or a savegame, the game wont load anymore. deleting those files makes it load again.. until I save a setting or enter the first level, then it quicksaves and I have to delete the files again..
 
this is so odd! surely others must have had the same problem? my config isnt that exotic.. (for amiga standards)
 
tried running snoopdos, but its not failing on anything. grey screen forever..

Try +set gl_texturemode gl_linear instead then. And I mean on the command line, when starting the application, not the ingame console.

understood will try that tomorrow. but to be honest, I think my problem is not getting gl_linear to work right now.. but to get the game working after I saved a game or config from the menu. much appreciated though!

Good! At least *that* worked. When loading game now with empty savegame folder and default config file, the game looks much better when switched to hardware renderer!
 
But there is more.. I have now succesfully saved and restored my games a few times, by specifying a different user path (outside of the game dir) in the launcher app. Doesnt work all the time, but at least the game now loads in 80% of cases.. Was probably just a case of bad coincidence before?
 
I can also save my config file, but it wasnt automatically loaded. Therefore I copied it over to my custom user dir and renamed it to user.cfg. This works! Config is now autoloaded and thanks to that added launcher option, the game looks nice, too. I'm pretty sure this is not the way I should have done it, but it works now, so many thanks for helping me out.
 
In case anyone didnt follow this:
 
1) add custom startup command in launcher: +set gl_texturemode gl_linear
2) add custom user dir in launcher to save your games to
3) copy config.cfg to user.cfg in custom save dir (see 2)
