The game uses non-power of two textures for models, which were supported by the software renderer, but not by the OpenGL renderer. Therefore, textures in OpenGL have to be resized to a power of two; this is controlled through the console command glrounddown. By default this is set to 1, which downsamples textures to the nearest power of two, reducing quality noticeably in the process. This was used due to limitations of contemporary 3D hardware. Setting glrounddown 0 (and doing a vidrestart, or putting it into an autoexec.cfg) improves texture quality noticeably. Input settings. Issues fixed Saves not working in The Reckoning and Ground Zero If you are getting 'function pointers have moved' error in console after trying to load game, install fan-patch 3.24.
Issue noted in GOG.com release.No music playback The music plays directly from the game-CD so the Steam version unfortunately lacks it.

It also includes several other changes, like an implementation of the water screen distortion effect from the software renderer, an option to toggle texture filtering off (via setting the '8-bit texture' option to 'on'), and desktop resolution support (via selecting sub-640x480 resolutions).This mod also has a few shortcomings; widescreen support is essentially broken as objects at the left and right side of the screen are, so keeping to 4:3 resolutions is recommended. Also, load times between levels are increased, text and HUD elements are forcibly upscaled and look rather ugly, and the brightness setting now affects the skybox.System requirements WindowsMac OS (Classic)Linux.
