Common Issues

Errors

Cannot open OpenSpades on macOS

Due to recent changes in the security system of Mac OS X, you might see the message that says "it can't opened because it is from an unidentified developer" when you try to launch OpenSpades by double clicking the application icon. This can be circumvented by right-clicking the icon, and then clicking "Open".

Another option will pop up. Click "Open" to launch OpenSpades.

Graphics

Screen is off center

This problem might be caused by HiDPI scaling of a modern version of Windows. Right click OpenSpades.exe, go to Properties, and click the Compatibility tab, in which you can find the checkbox to disable the HiDPI scaling.

Installation

libpng12.so.0: undefined symbol: _png_set_longjmp_fn

Compile SD2L_image with --disable-png-shared. Like this:

./configure --disable-png-shared && make && sudo make install

-- #252

Performance

Framerate drops when firing SMG.

• /r_cameraBlur 0 or disable Post-Effects → Custom → Camera Blur.
• Disable "Hit Detection Debugger", which takes screenshot every time you fire a weapon.

Sound

I'm using third-party MOD and I always hear gunshots in the center.

It means all sound files of the weapon are stereophonic and cannot be spatialized, that is, cannot be used for 3D sounds.
