Blam! Oni crashed

Damn! The best I can do for now is a link to a very useful thread on Oni Central Forum

And to Script10K's page.

Patches for Win XP

Other patches

Nvidia cards...

They have a special issue with OpenGL (solution submitted by LouisRouet) :

  • The problem tends to be that these Nvidia cards run too many OpenGL extensions for the old OpenGL games.
  • You need to create a new profile in your 'application profiles' specifically for Oni
    (go display control panel > settings > advanced > [graphics card name] tab > performance and quality settings).
  • Then select the Medal of Honor active profile, where it says modify profile you can save a new copy ... as say "Oni"
  • Then you will note that one of the options for this profile is that the extension limit is on - THIS is the important one (ensure that it is ON).
  • Apply this profile. Then click the modify profile button again and select modify..
  • Deselect all the MOH apps and then browse to find your Oni app and select it (remember that it has to be ticked) and press OK.
  • Now apply this profile, and hopefully Oni now works

Buffer overflow

Recorded movie buffer

Debug log buffers

  • Don't use the -debugfiles command line argument
  • You can't disable the default debug logs (debugger.txt and startup.txt) : Ian Patterson's "unofficial patch" provides decent security for those.


No textures

Driver issue...


Major lag

Often an ATI issue More, later...


Widescreens (16:10)

Not really a problem, but it can be a bit annoying when your ONI window gets auto-stretched to fit a 16:10 screen.

Solution
Run ONI with the -noswitch command line argument. Oni then runs in a "window" in the upper left corner of your screen, with the resolution selected in Options.
If you want that window centered with a black background behind it, use OniWindowMover.
