Title: OpenGL Problem...
Post by: Veritas on May 28, 2006, 09:45:40 pm

Ok, so I took the advice from the other post here saying to download gldirect 5.0 and that worked fine except that after about 5 minutes it shut down the screen with a DEMO PROGRAM thing. So I downloaded the 3.0 version and got that working but it gives me the same OpenGL error as if I weren't running it. The computer I use right now is quite outdated to say the least. I'm running windoze xp professional... and would appreciate any help.

I have no idea about the subject, because I am linux user. But I dont think you need extra stuff other than your drivers from your card manufacturer. You card manufacturer will have a download somewhere with the nice installer, that will include the whateveropenglwhatever.dll file you need to have hardware accelerated opengl on your XP machine.

Thanks, that fixed it, thought I'd updated all my drivers a few months ago... guess not o.0

I've got the same problem, How do I update my drivers?


I've been poking around in Control Panel for a while but they only thing that reads as not working properly or needs update etc is something called Raid Controller, but windows cant update it and I dont have any CD for it.


Anyone suggest a step-by-step help to getting tremulous working? That stupid GLdirect thing shutdown my screen and I havent found a download of the full version

Go to the website of the graphics card manufacturer and download the latest drivers for your card.

eg if u have a nvidia card go here:
