MY graphic card is nVidia 9600 GT, and the drivers are from Micorsoft (v1.1)

I had no default.cfg, but I had another installation of UrT (for mapping) so i copy/pasted it to my 4gaming installation.
It didnt work, again. :(
My r_mode was 4, i changed it to -1. still didnt work.

have you red the stickied note on the top of the forum board?

Honestly, please look around before posting like so many others of the same nature have: http://forums.urbant...engl-subsystem/
URBAN TERROR IS NOT COD6
AKGRIZZLY: UrT devs slaved over boiling PCs in a crawl space full of rabid monkeys with no food, for no pay all so we could rawk peeps with l337 remington skills
M0usep0d: I got stuck with the slow, heavy, weak, balding model.
ObScUrE: We should start now all to play COD and suggest Sr8, curbstomps, walljumps, jumpmaps...

If you use the microsoft driver, you might have problems, just use the last driver from nvidia website, i use Windows 7 too, and i don't have any problem using the last driver

I have the same exact problem, only i have a 16:9 resolution, is there any r_mode number i could put in place of "4", to get the 16:9 resolution?

Yes. go in setup inside the game and set a 'custom' resolution. Set it to the resolution of your desktop.

This assuming 16:9 is your desktop too.


edit: since you may not be able to get in the game

set r_mode -1
set r_customwidth <width pixels>
set r_customheight <height>

follow the default procedure of installing drivers.

often it may help to completely remove any trace of drivers; reboot; re-install.
