I can't open Tremulous.

Q: I get the error 'GLW_StartOpenGL() - could not load OpenGL subsystem' when I try to run Tremulous!
A: This error is caused by the game not being able to detect your Open GL drivers for your graphics card.  There are two things you can try to resolve this issue:

-If you are using your vendors graphic card drivers (i.e. Asus, Abit), try using your manufacturer's graphic card drivers (i.e. ATI, Nvidia)
-If you are using the manufacturer's graphic card drivers, try using the vendors card drivers.
-If the above steps fail, try uninstalling your graphic card drivers completely, rebooting, then reinstalling the latest set of drivers, rebooting a second time, and trying to run Tremulous again.

Note:  ATI's Windows Vista Beta 2 drivers DO NOT INCLUDE OPEN GL.  There is currently no known work around until ATI updates their drivers with open gl support.

I was playing, and wondered what it would look like if I changed the settings a bit. I messed with the resolution, and the game crashed. Now when I try to open it, it gives me the error I quoted above. I don't know what to do. I'm really bad with computers, and don't want to go messing with drivers and the such, if there's a way to change the settings outside of the game. If I could just change the setting back to normal I think it would work again.

open either C:\program files\Tremulous\base\autogen.cfg (if you have the stock client) or C:\Documents And Settings\<YOUR USER NAME HERE>\Application Data\Tremulous\base\autogen.cfg (if you have tjw's client) in notepad and search for a line that says

Code: [Select]

seta r_mode #
where # will be some number
change it to

Code: [Select]

seta r_mode 4
save the file, and start tremulous again, then change your resolution to something reasonable because 800x600 is a bit small.
