Whenever there's supposed to be fire in GMOD, I don't see it, and get spammed with this console error instead (Not only on TnB, on any gmod server)

Help a Tn/B/ro out?

are you running in dx8?

check the launch options on steam to find out

 

[Whysopro]

are you running in dx8?

check the launch options on steam to find out

I have

-dxlevel 8 -window

set, should I just remove the dxlevel 8?

 

[Nicco]

yes, remove that and see if you are now able to see the flame particles.

 

[Whysopro]

I'm not getting the error anymore, but I'm still not seeing the flames..

 

[gamingcow]

Does it switch back to DX9 automatically?

I've been having the problem too, and getting it fixed would be nice.

 

[Nicco]

so sorry, forgot about this thread.

try removing all launch options for garrysmod and set windowed mode through the settings in game.

edit: if none of that works, try putting -dxlevel 90 in the launch options.

the not being able to see fire is 100% down to running the game in dx8 mode.

 

[Whysopro]

Still no work

E: though -dxlevel 90 gives a fucking awesome graphic effect holyshit

 

[gamingcow]

Worked fine for me, thanks Nicco.

 

[IDOTS]

Simple problem to fix, it's not -dxlevel 90

It's -dxlevel 91

Done this to me in the past oddly (I find if I press OK in options rather than apply... It decides it wants to go back to dx8... Stupidly).

 

[Aesop]

OH MY GOD IDOTS.

.. thank you so much!

Dxlvl 90 works now, after adding -windowed (Thefuuuck?) lol, anyway ty
