No. 3.6.10 does not need mv_core to function correctly, it runs just fine with just the retail data. Usually, anyway.

I've got the exactly the same problem.
I got a noteboot with a ATI Mobility HD 4570 and installed Catalyst 9.3 with DH Mobility Modder. I tried installing 9.11, but I couldn't get it working.

Any help would be appreciated. :)

My fs2_open.log looks like this:

In short OpenGL initialization fails..

I have no real solutions that i know for certain that they will work but at least google search brought something up...

  • In the advanced settings of the display driver/properties make sure the acceleration slider(s) is (are) set to full
  • Make sure both the desktop and the game are set to 32 bit mode
  • Apparently some drivers/cards do not allow hardware acceleration for variety of odd reasons - make sure you have updated GPU drivers
  • Apparently in some cases the driver fails to install properly. Then you first need to clean the existing driver away and reinstall in - instructions should come with drivers
  • Also in some cases having onboard GPU as well as external GPU may cause issues - in this case you may need to disable onboard GPU - dunno if this happens with laptops

...as said no ideas if any of these will help you with the issue though.. You could wait for second (and third) opinion first.

Perhaps he selected options in the launcher but then ran the .exe on its own instead of using the launcher 'Run' button? (Use the Run button, if you weren't)

I don't think that would make a difference as long as he pressed "Apply" on the launcher.

Problem solved. I installed the Catalyst driver of my laptop manufacture and it's now working. Thanks for the help. :)

That error is usually caused by a driver error.

Check out this entry in the FAQ. Try to download the atioglxx.dll referenced there, and stick it into your FS2 directory.


The old drivers are required specifically for the Radeon X1*** series of cards (X1200-X1950), in which ATI in their great wisdom actually didn't include hardware support for GLSL but instead added support for it in driver hack, but only in the drivers from that time. Later drivers do not support this, so as a result the GLSL implementation of FS2_Open shaders will fail when using radeon X1*** series cards in conjunction with new Catalyst drivers.

The later Radeon cards - like the HD4600 card in question here - should work just fine with the latest drivers, and in fact using the DLL's from older driver sets might cause other problems.
There are three things that last forever: Abort, Retry, Fail - and the greatest of these is Fail.
