Game won't start (OpenGL video card)
« on: May 27, 2008, 05:37:59 PM »
i tried starting the game and i get this message:

Error during initialization.
Make sure you have an OpenGL capable video card and that the latest drivers are installed.

After i press "OK" i get this:

The instruction at "0x01454666" referenced memory at "0x017101c4". The memory could not be "read".
Click on OK to terminate the program

Any ideas appreciated

And if anyone needs to know the video card I'm using is a  ATI Radeon 9600 / X1050 Series

Here are my computer's specs

Have you installed the right drivers for the card, yet installed them at all?

Go here:

http://ati.amd.com/support/driver.html

And download the drivers for your operating system.  Not sure what you are using.  But this has your card in there

i installed the latest version of the X1050 series the day before and the game worked for like 20 minutes.
after a while my whole screen blacked out and froze for a second. then my screen reappeared again but my
digital paintball 2 screen was gray. i could hear the sounds of everything happening i could hear the sounds of
me shooting the gun and jumping but couldnt see anything.
So im quite confused and a bit clueless =\

You can try installing different drivers - might get lucky.
