I have tested Unreal 1 225F and 226F, why 225F is so dark at D3D and sky is also dark, bit similar to one of the darkest screenshot from here.

I had to turn off D3D multitexture and also mipmapping to get good picuture out of Rage3.
This screenshot from yesterday was probably with 226F.

Colorbending with Rage but image-quality is really nice.

How to get rid of colorbending, can you show where it is or its everywhere?

It's a vital feature of the renderer, 'getting rid of color blending' would mean NOTHING is blended and it'll look like shit

I really like the colors on the RAVE version. especially on the rage-series cards.

I tested under Windows 98 a lot of different patches a while ago in a variety of combinations and the most viable in my particular case was the bundle "UNREAL + UnrealPatch226Final.exe + Galaxy.dll (226a) + OpenGlDrv.dll (2.1.0.7)" - it gave the best combination of performance, stability, graphics and sound quality.

Where i can get this OpenGLrv.dll v 2.1.0.7?

Please let me know what 2.0.7 really does?

For my old Rage Pro cards they where too new, newer OpenGL worked with more problems and even D3D8 worked, just no option to disable mipmapping. Best fit at the moment 225F & 226F. 225F has more bugs, but trees are always nice, sometimes with 226F tree leaves are bit black, 226F almost perfect.In the screenschot brighteness is corrected @225F, but still bit darker and different feel, i like 226F more, but the tree bug sometimes ok, sometimes not.

Anybody has some advice how to fix it with 226F, its starts with 226a, 224v and 225a does not have options to disable mipmapping and multitexture.224v/225a tree leaves always ok, 225e and 225f d3d are the same and tree leaves are also alaways good, 226a/226f has tree leaves problem sometimes.Sometimes its exactly like 224v, 225a,225e,225f. One time its ok, i turn over and back and its black, i move around come back and suddenly its ok again. Right now this happens only with this type of tree leaves, other leaves are alaways green.

I have tested 224v, 225a, 225e, 225f, 226a, 226f, all start. Unreal Gold 226b does not start.
Why Unreal 100 or 101 Software mode looks better, at least in the starting demo and at fog?
Or how to fix v225F, it has bug if i try to go D3D Settings sometimes and other small issues?

Thanks for the inf.

How i can go with OpenGL at lower resolution, with OpenGL its minimally 640x480?

Why summon timedemo.timedemo shows nothing,i can wait many flyby-s forever?
Original Unreal, how to Benchmark or show FPS?

For later patches its just timedemo 1 in the console.
