Title: cant get Trem to work plz help
Post by: Wingedhalk on April 01, 2013, 11:30:21 pm
Trying to get my computer HP Pavilion (32 bit) to work with trem, but it wont. when i try to use the 1.1.0 version it gives me the GLW_StartOpenGL() - could not load OpenGL subsystem and when i try the new gg1 version i can get into trem but the game is lagging so bad i can barely move my mouse. the FPS is 0 and i have been looking up all the different solutions but they dont seem to work. i finaly got into in game options and tried to change my network settings to 25000 but i couldnt find that option only 28.8k and a few others. if someone understands what is happening to the game please help me i know its not the computers capabilities because i am able to play the new SC2 HOTS which is very demanding when it comes to hardware. thanks for your help. :D

update your graphics drivers.

i am fairly sure starcraft (any) uses direct x, as opposed to openGL.

but yea, update those drivers and post results.

edit your config file, make sure the game is not attempting to launch fullscreen in a ridiculous resolution.

what do you mean by that? i changed the resolution in game and it did nothing, but what is a config file?

well, you are getting ingame, so it cannot be what i was thinking.

a config file is a text file with configurable options that usually has the extension of .cfg or .config

without more info i cannot help. 

i still strongly suspect it is graphics drivers.

just so we are on the same page, read this thread, and go the drivercleaner route-  http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/242676-33-uninstalling-reinstalling-video-drivers

Geeeeez. having the same trouble, or so it seems. though am in my other big bro computer.
I went In game and, was asking for help because my brightness wouldn't go up, it would say "SetDeviceGammaRamp Failed." and shit, so Cone told me to /Set r_mode -1 and I did, and it said it would take action when I restarted(Trem I believe) so I did, and I tried opening Trem again, and baaaaaaaaaaaang:

And I think it's because of what Ninja said, about the fullscreen. Will check the config later.
Lol.

Your video card or screen does not support 1600x1024 resolution. Set your r_customWidth and r_customHeight appropriately when using r_mode = -1
