Goggles perhaps?
Not sure if you fixed your problem. I'm thinking you may want to pick up a discreet graphics card. The integrated graphics on your computer may not have enough horsepower for gaming, regardless of the game's age.
Here's a comment from a review of your pc
An economical solution that borrows your computer's main memory to use for graphics. Fine for basic computing tasks, but not powerful enough for digital photography, video editing and gaming.
I think certain effects like smoke & water require extra processing power.

Here is a good read. Don't forget to come visit us in the server daily at 2:00 pm EST.

I just heard the news today while in the server. I am quite saddened to hear about Natter's passing. He was one of my most favorite NOLFers. His cheerful demeanor & goodwill put a smile on many faces (especially mine). I will truly miss this great person.

The Unity servers appear to be down this morning. Not sure if it's for maintenance, or there's an issue.
-
Ok, so which part is ours?
-
I also would like to see people on more often. I'm open to suggestions.
@Moody-they say playing with yourself can cause blindness. I don't recommend it.

Lol. That's funny. I would like to sound file of me committing suicide with the rocket launcher.

No offense Pep, but I think you're standing a little too close to the microwave.

Yay, I can barely contain my excitement.......
......The one thing I forgot to try was running it in XP mode, and damn it that worked
Thank you so much for the offerings of help
Looking forward to killing you all later
You beat me to it. Glad you got it working.

Does anyone want to play during the week? Maybe around 8:00 Pacific time?
I could make some evening/night time on the weekend. Week nights are tough.

You should put a tramp stamp on the ninjas.

Darn and i thought "+screenwidth" is a cool new player
Nope. Just a grumpy old one.

The problem here is that NOLF2, CJ & Tron 2.0 (even FEAR before the v1.08 patch) where made with only standard 4:3 resolutions in mind, so the game ends up being stretched in non-standard resolutions (5:4, 16:10, 16:9, ect).
The only mods for NOLF2 that I know of that support widescreen resolutions more natively are my Weapons-05/a/b & LviesForeverPlus.
However I just found out about a few command-line options that are a lot better than the autoexec.cfg & display.cfg edits.
Start NOLF2's launcher and goto options
Copy either the 16:10 or 16:9 line and past it into the command-line
16:10
+screenwidth 1440 +screenheight 900 +fovx 100.38 +fovxinterface 100.38 +fovyuwmax 124 +pvmodelfov 65 +pvmodelaspect 1.439977
16:9
+screenwidth 1920 +screenheight 1080 +fovx 106.260208 +fovxinterface 106.260208 +fovyuwmax 124 +pvmodelfov 65 +pvmodelaspect 1.59995
Change the +screenwidth and +screenheight to match your resolution and check the box next to Always pass command line arguments to the game
I also recommend downloading this to help keep things like the chat input and other menu items from running off screen, just place this in LivesForever folder > Wide Screen Menu fix
Using the command line seems to have helped. The game feels somewhat smooth. I do have one issue. For some reason, my name has changed to "+screenwidth". I cannot change my name back. Any suggestions?

Download and install if you don't already have it > LivesForeverPlus Download
Select the mod from the custom menu on the launcher and start NOLF2, select your screen resolution in display options in game (if its not already set) and then start a new single player game or host a multiplayer game.
I did as you suggested. Looks like the maximum resolution is 1680x1050. It did feel smooth. Is there a way to get the Lives Forever mod display higher resolutions natively?
Came back to edit my post. My comment above is not accurate. I can play the game at high resolutions on my CRT monitor. Getting these higher resolutions, be it 4:3 or 16:9 do not display natively. They are stretched.
-
I prefer keeping the original 'pvmodelfov' setting (65) but changing 'pvmodelaspect' since it keeps PV weapons & gadgets looking the same as they did on a 4x3 display.
pvmodelaspect settings
16x10 = 1.439977
16x9 = 1.59995
5x4 = 1.125005
4x3 = 1.2
But you should also try my LivesForeverPlus mod, it has greater support for widescreen resolutions and auto FOV settings (doesn't make things look stretched).
And how does one test the mod?
-
I've been playing around with the display resolutions. It appears that changing the resolutions using the methods above, does not give you that resolution natively. Instead it takes a lower resolution (1280x960 for me)& stretches it to 1920x1080. For me, using lower resolutions has a negative effect on gameplay. That and it really hurst my eyes.

Is there a password for the test server?

Whatsuppp natter and onyx. I heard lodingi is playing I have to come put him in his nolf2 place jk hah.

Great Fun!

Good fun with good people. Shall we pray for some drama?
-
Glad you figured it out. Well you really didn't figure it out, but you got it working.
-
I was just in the DM server. It seems fine. Are you sure it's not on your end? You were having difficulties with the DD server as well.
-
That might work for me. What time???
Anti-Aliasing - Yes or no?

Interesting. Being such an old game, does it have any impact?
