any help would be super greatly appreciated!

Open config_m2.cfg and search for these command "r_picmip, r_picmip_bump, r_picmip_manual, r_picmip_spec, and r_picmip_water" and replace it with these

seta r_picmip "3"
seta r_picmip_bump "3"
seta r_picmip_manual "1"
seta r_picmip_spec "3"
seta r_picmip_water "0"

Or setting your texture quality manually to low or normal.

Delete your config_m2 and try again. MAKE A BACKUP OF IT 1ST.

You can also find r_mode and change it to "640x480"

it still doesnt work, any other solution?
