Title: Oh noes, the accursed OpenGL bug strikes again!
Post by: Nyarly on July 10, 2007, 01:29:36 am

Hey folks.  I recently acquired TBP 3.4, and decided to test it out.  Alas, the infamous "OpenGL version is out of date, please upgrade from version 1.0 to 2.0, yadda yadda yadda, etc." message hits me the moment the screen turns black as I open the program.

Now, I have done my homework on this bug, searching the forums and all, but none of the solutions seem to work for me.

I have tried the following:
1. Updating my nVidia drivers (found out I already have OGL 2.0!).
2. Setting the game resolution and color-rating to a setting lower than that of my desktop.
3. Running the game in Direct3D... yeah, I'm getting desperate...

So, any suggestions?

Are you running FS2_Open 3.6.9?

If not check the source code project forum above and you'll find a post with it in.

ya, i get this too. Noobishly enough, i don't know how to view my openGL driver version or how to update them. Can someone answer this in the meantime?

Sorry i can't be of any help otherwise  :sigh:

Yup, that seems to have done the job.  I actually fixed it on my own, but I came back here to check and see if I had missed anything before starting the game again.  Man, I can't believe I didn't catch that the first time.  :blah: So, haloboy100, that might be your problem right there, if you have not found it yet.

But yeah, thanks for the advice... and sorry about the late response. :nervous:

Go to www.openal.org, downloads section, get the latest non-SDK Installer for Windows, and install it.  That's all.  It won't hurt if you've already got the latest version, so try it.  :)
