One entity is two entities? (DarkPlaces)

I found out that every entity is two when I put r_speeds 1. Is this a bug? It also tells me that it's got double amount of polygons too.

Have you an old single-TMU 3D card? It sounds like it's rendering stuff in 2 passes, and counting twice as a result. LH?

Probably fixable if you use r_depthfirst 0, but this may lose fps slightly (more so with costly shaders).

Also make sure r_hdr is 0.

Either way these features are not meant to increase the entities count on r_speeds (even if an entity is indeed rendered multiple times), so this is a bug.

Looks like it was the r_hdr being 1 doubling the entity amount. r_depthfirst being something else than 0 only increase the polygon amounts, but entity amount stays correct.
