FS Open tells me to get Open GL 1.2, and it says I have version 1.0. I have downloaded the latest drivers for my Mobility Radeon X-600.  Open GL works fine on games like IL-2:AEP, but I cant' run FS even on D3D without the error telling me to get updated Open GL drivers. Do I need to get another set of Open GL drivers?

Thanks that fixed it, I was worried that is was a problem with my new graphics card.

So what's the most recent "proper" (read: not experimental) build? I had the same problem when I pulled the build from the SCP site.

Just use one of the most recent builds. They're faaaaar less buggy than the "proper" ones at this point.

367 should be out tomorrow.  just finishing the installer and cleaning up the last few remaining bugs.

Hmm... Open GL never works for me, as soon as a model is being loaded (for example in the tech room) the game crashes and I find myself on the desctop with a funny message (Driver was not being able to recover your GPU or something like that).

tolwyn update your drivers.. if they're up to date reinstall them

Then why isn't one of them listed as the proper "official" current version?

This problem occurs with every catalyst driver version (I am using 5.7 and 4.4). Maybe I have to reinstall windows to solve the problem since open gl mode worked a few months ago.

Cause 3.6.7 is very close to release and it will be the proper official release.

I wondered if this was just happening to me (and I hadn't traced it to being the first frame).  Basically you just get a dim discoloration where the shield hit should be, right?

EDIT: Actually this is build-dependent.  I've Mantised it, since I'm not the only one seeing it.

I used to get that too. It's definitely an issue with the frames, since I reverted back to an older shieldhit animation (the same thing, just an ani instead of dds frames) and the problem went away.

Why was that thing made into dds's, anyway? They look identical to the ani version.

[StratComm]

Actually it's still an issue with the old version as well (which starts out brighter) as the old version doesn't animate either.

It's fixed now.

Very good. That's what I'll wait for.

[Fenrir]

The wait's over.

Word. And it is SWEET. Nice job.

You know, FSO plays REALLy well on a Logitech (Dual Shock Ripoff) Gamepad.

I've got one like that, but trying to fly with a control stick is too sensitives for my tastes. Probably because I've been flying with the mouse for months on end...
