Have you made sure that those .wad files are actually present in that folder?

Also, what do you mean with 'removing clipping'? The fact that software mode only ever renders 800 or so faces at a given time? Well, that's an inherent limitation of software mode. It's slow, so the Valve programmers decided to set a limit to the number of faces drawn. You can't get around that without modifying the engine code, and that's something we don't have access to.

So yes, I'd say, go with hardware mode, or live with it. I know, the software mode water ripple effect looks cool, but oh well... :wink:

well the odd thing is, it will cut out a door or a wall and show the void and or the rest of the map behind it rather then just clipping the whole map behind it out of exsistance :S
