Can I use a video card that's not OpenGL-capable?

[evan]

My video card sucks apparently.anyway i can pl;ay the game with a non-openGL capable video card?

[Eiii]

No. Make sure you have the latest drivers, etc.

[jitspoe]

Even if you could, the framerate would be so terrible you wouldn't be able to enjoy it.

Come on cigarettegy Mccigarettester.
stupid donkeyes that won't get off thier ass and get a job and/or buy a computer made this century are the reason the game won't progress in areas that today's PCs can handle.
Jitspoe has kept this game at a certain place so that a 389SX can still play the game.

Bullexcrement...intercourse your POS computer. Get a new PC. If I can stay up-to-date as broke as I am, so can you.

GOD ALMIGHTY...the game is on a slightly modified Quake 2 engine that requires, OMFG, OpenGL.

READ...uh...if you can, that is.

be quiet...don't even reply to this thread.
Just die and stay in your play below me where you belong you filthy maggot intercourses.

That's what i first wrote.
I took my medication and decided not to.
Well...i guess i did, but didn't.
So I quoted a quote that was never quoted to begin with.

GET A NEW meddling GRAPHICS CARD BEOTCH.
OPENGL == 1992

how could you NOT have an OpenGL card :p

[jitspoe]

It's amazing what some people play this game on.  I've seen screenshot of people getting like 20fps.  Now, 3 computers ago, I had (and still use) a 400mhz celeron with a geforce1.  I get like 100fps with that.  I'd hate to see what kind of hardware these people are using.

[lekky]

well, on most of the pbcup maps i get 30 fps for most areas of the maps (on 640 x 480 resolution), but generally i get around 50-60 tops. I guess this is purely down to the fact i have an on-booard gfx card, as the rest of my spec isn't too bad.

[GreenAffairz]

Well sometimes i use my 350mhz computer but i put in a decent video card so it runs 60 up pretty well.

I remember buying a TNT2 so I could get the 45fps necessary to do the jump from rocks ledge on sandtrap into the tower.  That was the day I became unstopable.  Later I bought a GF2Ti so I could do the 1-man bdoor in pforest, further increasing my unstopable-ness.  Now that I'm a lpb, I don't have to rely on fps tricks so much

[GreenAffairz]

sorry if i sound like the newb master but whats lpb stand for?

I'm playing on a Shuttle 733MHz P3 with the Integrated S3 Savage 4 graphics engine , my other computer has been promoted to MCE.
Everything is low and i play 640x480 resolution (lowest fullscreen possible) and it still lags.

I lowered the sound quality and now it runs fine, the only problem is that the skins are too dark, so i shoot at anyone i see.

I also got the message about Open-GL, i increased the amount of shared ram in the bios and it worked.

[XtremeBain]

low ping bastard

That card obviously doesn't support the OpenGL extensions properly.  The text is dark, too.  You should at least put a geforce in the machine to make it playable.

[pinobot]

It's been a while.
I've put in a TNT2 Vanta PCI card i had  laying around.
Tok a while to get it installed, i had MC20005 on the computer but it didn't work, so i've installed XP PRO.
It didn't work with any nVidia driver but it did with the manufacturer's driver.
Anyhow, it works fine with TNT2.

[GreenAffairz]

ugh pinobot looks like you use fov 90, type in fov 120 into the console for max pwnage

GreenAffairz, stop reviving like 10 old threats in 3 minutes. Thanks!
