UT2003 and all UT2003-based games, such as America's Army, require a 3D accelerator which supports S3TC. The ATI Rage 128 does not have this support. It is impossible to get UT2003 to work on that card. The game essentially requires a GeForce or better NVidia card or a Radeon or better ATI card. Although I understand that you probably can't do anything about this because the code comes from upstream, it would seem that it would be better for this game to output a message saying "This video card is not supported" instead of crashing. Doesn't it? Sure, it would be better, but the game is binary and not something I can modify. bugzilla |
