k, i got UT a couple months ago (no im not that behind the times, but i am far to sane to attempt playing any FPS over a dial up, my noisy ass line anyway) and yesterday i caught mention of the UT's S3TC textures. i completely forgot there was that 2nd CD.
anyway, i can only find 1 site that says how to set it. but it doesnt seem like its working. is it really that amazing or what ? i mean it seems like the frame rate is twice what is was, its smooth as glass and felt like a different game. but the textures are the same.
can someone send me to another site so i can confirm the setup or tell what to check for ?
got the new opengl.dll and the .ini changes.

oh, and when i exit UT, the desktop is 'messed up'. it looks faded/washed out. like a gamma setting was maxed.

goto [l]http://unreal.epicgames.com[/l], you should be able to find the latest opengl driver and the settings for the ini file..

just to remind you that your video card needs to support s3tc texture compression in order to use the texture in 2nd cd.. what the texture does is basically giving the game graphix a better visual quality texture quality without sacrificing the game performance..
