i have windows 7.

There's only one method.

Try going to Video Options -> Set Resolution and choose some other resolution, then change to OpenGL mode.

There are only two renderers: Software and OpenGL.
Only OpenGL allows the usage of models.

If OpenGL starts bugging out for you, first try doing what Unknownlight suggested - assuming you're playing on a desktop computer, of course. Perhaps your game runs better if the resolution is smaller, perhaps windowed?

If OpenGL still acts up, then your computer is most likely unable to handle OpenGL very well, leaving you unable to use models in SRB2.
If you're using something like a laptop, that's probably the cause - Some laptops aren't particularly known of being powerful and often bundle an old version of OpenGL with their integrated graphics.
Also keep in mind that computer power isn't decided only by what operative system you have (doesn't matter if W7 or W10 for example), but also hardware, like graphics card and the such.

Also, consider not using the font size feature. Being annoying with it is not what it is for.

I
tried that on srb2 android too. It didn't bug but my computer bugs with it.

OPENGL METHOD DOES NOT WORK FOR ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not trying to mini-moderate, but calm down with the big text lmao.

Anyway uhh... i have a tutorial on how to use 3D models somewhere...

How to use 3D models in SRB2:
1. Download the models you want to use. You can find them on the SRB2 Message Board.
2. Place the models in the models folder in your SRB2 folder. If you don't have a models folder, use the one that should have come with the models you downloaded. If you need to create one, be sure it is spelt "models" with no capitalization.
3. Place the models.dat file that came with the models into your SRB2 folder (and not inside the models folder).
4. Run SRB2.
5. Go to Video Settings, and switch the renderer to OpenGL.
6. Go to OpenGL Settings, and enable 3D models
7. Play with them, and it should work.

Note:
If your game closes instantly when you play with OpenGL, the reason is because your computer doesn't support OpenGL, therefore, you can't play with models, and you can only play in software, unless you update your graphic card or something.

maybe where your problem starts is using windows 7. Pretty sure just 2.1 and earlier was meant to be used on windows 7 and lower.
i use a crappy off brand tablet for srb2 and opengl works fine, even on 620x620 res or something.

You have a really weird way of typing, it makes it hard for me to understand.
It might as well be your computer, because it shouldn't blink if your computer supported it.
