GLW_StartOpenGL() - could not load OpenGL subsystem



it appears that it is trying to use a resolution that is to high for it and i cant lower it without opening the game

We need more than just that snippet of the error message if we're to work out where it's failing.

[David]

Click start -> run and type "cmd".

In the command prompt that comes up run

Code Select Expand

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Tremulous\tremulous.exe" +set r_mode 6
and it should reset to 1024x768.

didnt work

[Tremulant]

When you say it didn't work, did it say file not found, in which case you need to correct the path to the exe, or did trem flash up and die as before?

if the latter then i've no idea why david's suggestion wouldn't work, but maybe try the following.

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Tremulous\tremulous.exe" +set r_fullscreen "0"

tried and said it couldn't load default.cfg

Looks like your data-gpp1.pk3 (or data-1.1.0.pk3) is corrupted or it doesn't exist. Get one!

[David]

The first post shows data-1.1.0.pk3 does exist >_>.

eschippers:
When the command prompt comes up, run this:

Code Select Expand

cd "C:\Program Files (x86)\Tremulous\"
./Tremulous.exe +set r_mode 6

[Tremulant]

no leading ./ required.

I think this is what I had to do.

Go to C:\Users\[Username]\AppData\Local\tremulous\base and open autogen.cfg with wordpad, Ctrl+F and put in r_mode and change the value to 6. Save the file and try tremulous.
