OpenGl Video

[Jester]

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?

[Jester]

Got it for Christmas 2004.....And No I don't think I have

Okay, thanks for all your help, I can play now!!!!

But I need a little more help. When I go to muliplayer and click update. I get an "pantball2 has generated errors and will be closed by Windows. You will need to restart program. An error log has been created.

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

[jitspoe]

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

[jitspoe]

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?  You might also try using the omega drivers.

Does anybody else have a Radeon9000?

[Myzqo]

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

What version of Windows are you running?

[Myzqo]

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

[Myzqo]

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

[jitspoe]

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
