Hello, my (player) name is Hendrich (who totally p'owns noobs and dumb TDF clan players in servers, :p) and I have a problem. I LOVE tremulous, is the most f#$%'ing addictive game I've ever played. It's fast, it has requires very little disk space and it has awsome gameplay and cool servers.

So I have this 2.4Ghz computer but I want to use an old 713Mhz computer for my personal reasons alone. But since my old computer is, well, 10 years old, it didnt came with OpenGL drivers. It only has Direct3D, and has "No" OpenGL support. I cannot go to GLLSetup.com because my old computer has a broken internet connection that seems to go really fast when I play games (Yea, i know, WTF). I can use MSN, limewire, , etc. but I cant use Internet Explorer.

I want to know how the heck can I make the (really annoying -_-;) Q3 console to force Direct3D. Or where can I download a OpenGL driver for my computer. Anything would help. I will list my system specs when asked.

Thank you for your support.

====================================
 :tyrant: "Time to go Hendrich on your @$$."  :P

It's OpenGL only, depends on what video card you have (as to where to get drivers)

Please do so.
OpenGL should be part of  your graphic cards driver. So the most important question is, which graphic card do you have? Second is your Operating system. Add some other useful info too. And what kind of internet connection do you use?

You can purchase an old NVIDIA Geforce FX 5200 or something for your PCI or AGP slot and get full OpenGL support for $20, and you'll have acceptable performance around 60FPS.
