Game troubleshoot : can't run the game
« on: March 16, 2008, 10:06:21 pm »
Hello Tremulous players.

My friends have been playing Tremulous since a bit, so I also want to try it.

I've downloaded the Windows Stand Alone file first, and then the compressed .zip file. Both times, the same thing happened.

Look what is shown when the game start :



I believe that the game requirements fit with my computer, as it has :
- 1024mb RAM
- GeForce 5500 Fx
- 2,4Ghz
- Windows Xp pro

I've been downloading the latest drivers of the GeForce 5500 Fx about 3 weeks ago.

Also, I'm able to run many games as BattleField, WarRock, Rappelz, WoW, etc.

Thanks in advance for the help.

All of the games you listed that play fine are all D3D games. The latest NVIDIA drivers break OpenGL1.3 apparently.

I see... Well thanks for the reply.

Any way to fix it, or it's hopeless?

Download an older version of your video card's drivers.

<Atom_Eve> "While Tremulous releases can take months to prepare, TJW can update his mod as soon as new changes are ready."
