Title: OpenGl Video
Post by: Jester on April 04, 2005, 04:54:47 PM

I'm a newb when it comes to vid cards and capablities of them so please bear with me...

Okay, I've download the game and realllly want to play, but when I do... I get this error:

"reclusive error after: Error during initialization
Make sure you have and OpenGL capable video card and lastest drivers are installed."

Now, I need to know if I can fix it without

1) Cutting comp, and reinserting new vid card.
2) Spending money.

Please help me!!!!

Make sure you have the latest drives, and a good video card.

How old is this computer, and have you ever replaced any parts?

Try deleting paintball2/pball/serverlist.dat.  This will be fixed in the next release.

Now I have the same problem like Jester had!
Error during initialization
Make sure you have and OpenGL capable video card and lastest drivers are installed.

The problem is i have the latest drivers installed and it worked for build 13!

If its any help i have a Ati Radeon 9000

Does build 13 still run?  Perhaps some other things changed between the last use of 13 and the installation of 14?

Yes version 13 still runs! I have tryied to reinstall my drivers to ATI card but it still wont work :(

That's odd.  I'm not sure what would cause build 14 not to work like that.  Are you using the latest drivers off of ati.com (http://www.ati.com/)?  You might also try using the omega drivers.

Does anybody else have a Radeon9000?

Post by: Myzqo on April 27, 2005, 12:45:45 PM

Yes im using the latest drivers from ati.com!
What is omega drivers? Never heard of it!

What version of Windows are you running?

Title: Re: OpenGl Video
Post by: Myzqo on April 28, 2005, 06:09:06 PM

Im running Windows XP SP2
Im gonna try to install the omega drivers and see if that helps!

I just tryied it with the omega drivers but i still get the same error :(

That is odd.  I really don't know what would cause build 14 not to work when build 13 does work.  I'm pretty sure I didn't change any of the code where it loads the OpenGL driver.  Nobody else has a radeon9000?

Edit: I started a thread up at Rage3D.  Perhaps we can get some other testers or suggestions: http://rage3d.com/board/showthread.php?p=1333667165
