Only colored outlines appear after editing some video settings in an autoexec file? - Games

[img]http://filesmelt.com/downloader/wut.PNG[/img] I messed with some settings in an autoexec file, and now the game looks like this. I have deleted the auto-exec file and reinstalled the game, neither of which worked. It was working fine before I put in the autoexec file, and I am at the end of my rope here. Any suggestions at all would be greatly appreciated.

What commands did you put in?

Pretty much everything that makes the game look orgasmic, like mat-picmip -10, and stuff like that. I can't remember the specifics, though.

Copy of the autoexec or the contents within would be nice.

All there is is the standard cfgs for the classes and something that is called "settings", which I presume is my video settings.

Have you tried -autoconfig in the launch options? I'm pretty sure that's the command that resets to the default config.

If so it might be your computer. I don't know I've never had trouble with it.

Update your graphics card drivers?

Launch options? Forget this ^. Sorry I didn't read the thread.

This is caused by the software AA, remove it from the CFG :buddy:

Specifically, this line: [code]mat_software_aa_strength 1[/code]

[QUOTE=Omolong;16579295]Specifically, this line: [code]mat_software_aa_strength 1[/code][/QUOTE] So do I put this in launch options, or console?

In console, just remove the 1 and replace with 0.

[QUOTE=Omolong;16580379]In console, just remove the 1 and replace with 0.[/QUOTE] Alright, this worked. Thanks a ton!
