hey there, I have been having 2 issues upon launching ddnet for many months now, and figured maybe it was about time to ask 😄 I believe they came after updating the game at some point, and they never went away since: First one: everytime I launch the game I get an error message regarding texture dimentions? (see pic), for "mahaXteam", "noob", and "cammostriped in hat" Second problem, which is a real pain to play with: anytime ddnet is opened and is my main window (no problem when alt+tab on another window), I hear a high pitched noise in my headphones continuously. this only happens when playing teeworlds. Any time I click another element in the menu the noise pitch varies. pressing /pause or changing map changes the pitch too and it's quite irritating to play like that without music on to hide it ^^ I would love a suggestion to solve that one problem ! thanks

regarding first problem, it might be useful I mention I play with a wide monitor (3440x1440)

and on the main menu I usually have a grey vertical bar on the left that is without texture (edited)

Souly 2021-12-01 00:19:56Z
thats probably because teeworlds doesnt support such wide monitors and map background wont fit
00:20
so it uses the cl_background_color thing

nathanj 2021-12-01 00:20:49Z
cool, are these skins located in appdate somewhere, or where I installed the game? truth is I played without any of these problems with my wide screen for months before they appeared
00:22
oh I see cammostripes misses 3 pixels ^^ I can edit that quickly myself in photoshop actually

are you using updated client? does disabling the long pain and gun sound in sound settings help?
00:23
that seems really odd and im not sure what could cause it

nathanj 2021-12-01 00:23:14Z
long pain is already disabled for me (edited)

can you provide a video or something

nathanj 2021-12-01 00:23:51Z
and yes. I just reinstalled DDnet actually to see if it would work any better, it didn't (replacing former files)
00:24
I'll try to upload a short video ok ^^

Souly 2021-12-01 00:24:40Z
does it do the same on default config settings too?
00:24
i mean the ones in config directory
Avatar
nathanj 2021-12-01 00:25:54Z
you mean like delete my setting file and see if it goes any better?

Souly 2021-12-01 00:26:12Z
create a backup of them and try to launch the game

maybe you switched some settings by accident

the noise is still there. it actually appears after the loading bar is done loading

@nathanj are you using updated client? nightly build?
Avatar
nathanj 2021-12-01 00:28:43Z
normal client? idk if it's updated or what ^^ the one available for download on main ddnet site

Souly 2021-12-01 00:29:17Z
@nathanj have u tried using older versions
Avatar
nathanj 2021-12-01 00:30:11Z
no, I would have to download an old one from ddnet website, right?

Souly 2021-12-01 00:30:17Z
yes

nathanj 2021-12-01 00:30:22Z
i can try
Avatar
nathanj 2021-12-01 00:37:40Z
I tested ddnet 15.1.3 and it didn,'t help, then tried 12.5 and the problem is gone! it also made my background purple like it used to be upon going on main menu from which we select maps, idk if it's related edit: probably just because the background later got swiched to sun and moon depending on time of day ^^ (edited)
00:38
maybe i can figure out which version created the problem
00:39
it solves both problems I mentionned btw (edited)

nathanj 2021-12-01 00:51:25Z
the sound bug appeared with 15.2.5, and the texture warning message doesn't come with any version: in only exists when I launch ddnet from my old folder I update everytime ^^
00:52
I know just above I said 15.1.3 still had the audio problem but it doesn't, now I wonder if I imagined it or what
00:57
this is me recording the sounds out of my headphones and clicking menu things, entering a map,...
01:01
(and yes I've been playing with such a background noise in my headphones for a year ^^' No wonder I didn't play as much)

nathanj 2021-12-01 01:13:51Z
also, in the past I used to be able to play a youtube video or twitch live on top of my fullscreen teeworlds, and around the same time these problems appeared I could only have TW as main window, and couldn't change from fullscreen to windowed mode either. 15.1.3 solves all that ^^
01:15
also I had binds that stopped working and they do work again 😄 I didn't realise the latest updates broke my game so much ^^ (can finally lower mouse sensitivity again ^^) (edited)

The high pitched noise thing happens to me too, but it happens on all games. You can try changing the framerate cap on tw, see if that helps (edited)

nathanj 2021-12-01 02:45:13Z
wow you are right, it's related to fps! the lower the fps the lower in pitch it gets! I guess i will be playing on older version of ddnet and I should be fine for now instead ^^
02:49
looks like by default on 15.1.3 and lower my fps are capped to 120 (monitor's refresh rate) and they go over 1000 on newest versions. I guess in other games, even if I don't use vsync I never got more than 200 fps yet which explains why I wasn't hearing this sound ^^ (edited)
02:50
I actually don't know why the fps are capped to 120 on older versions of ddnet: v-sync isn't enabled and i didn't set a max refresh rate in the options (edited)

try new version with cl_refresh_rate 120 and gfx_refresh_rate 120
11:08
and play around a bit with the numbers to find something that is ok for you

Scrumplex 2021-12-01 18:42:28Z
the reason is coil-whine in GPUs. Your GPU is hard at work rendering DDnet at 1000fps and that distorts your integrated sound card's output

nathanj 2021-12-01 19:09:36Z
using this makes my game laggy so I put it to 1000. maybe with a value in the middle I can get a non laggy game without noises, but the 15.1.3 versions seems to work best for me anyway so I'll stick with it I guess ^^
19:10
thx for the help ! I use an external audio interface so it's not integrated sound card output that's causing the audio problem I guess
19:13
but it's a cheap audio interface, and due to crackling sound noises, I had to use it on a powered usb hub. possible problem is my motherboard not delivering enough juice through 2.0 usb ports at the back or something and I got told this card couldn't be used on 3.0 ports otherwise ^^ maybe changing my audio interface someday to a better one could solve a few problems i got on my pc (edited)

I really wouldn't recommend using an old version. We fix stuff all the time

nathanj 2021-12-01 21:09:41Z
though something changed regarding fps management with one of the updates or I wouldn't be having this problem in the first place? and with recent versions it doesn't change anything that I select windowed mode fullscreen or windowed fullscreen, it always remains fullscreen (edited)
