usually opengl comes with your graficcard-drivers or the os

what video card you got.

Only viedeo cards with 8 or more MB RAM support OpenGL

If your card doesn't support it, you've got pitch ...
choose in HL menu the default driver from OpenGL ... then he'll say if your vid-card supports it

Good luck

OpenGL rulez!...Though it doesn't support anti-aliasing 4xS
I can't play HL with Direct3D because my mouse goes crazy with it

I had a 32 mb card that didn't have openGL !! O_O

lol R@!D3R ... I din't know this ... but ordinary there are 8 MB ... sorry

Hey Norman ... it's better if you deacitvate Anti-Aliasing ... and your fps will grow !!! (only ATI-Cards are good in that)

I saw this with the mouse already ... I think it's your vid-card (maybe RivaTNT2), but i don't know

(OpenGL is the best !!!)

Good luck

hey guys, i got it working, i had to download the latest driver

LOL TNT2 and anti-aliasing. I've got a Geforce4Ti 4200 @ 4400 and really no problems concerning frames in HL or even UT2003 with anti-aliasing
But I already had this problem with my old computer and a TNT2

lol !!!
bad PC Norman ...

I've got "only" a GF2 Ti (200) and I can turn on D3D without mouselatency !!!

but my A-A is ordinary deactivated (fps)

(OpenGL rulez !!!)

CU

grrr :\ ....I think it's because of my optical intellimouse, but i'm not sure..

Yeah, and my pc beats u all!! ......well..not really...its really an old pc that i need to update. For a good improvment ive been told £260, i have no money atm, im 14 and bring £9.50 in a week....ohhh im in for a long wait :S

i think .. no, im sure that every gcard that is almost about 3-4 years old can user opengl ... even the old tnt2 card of my friend can opengl ...

of course DJR ...
but we talked about D3D ...

no1 knows why there's sometimes a latency between mousemove and monitor chages in D3D ...

I havn't this problem ... GF2Ti ... Optical Logitech PS2 (no wireless)

but I'm still using OpenGL !!!

Soooo..should i use open gl or direct 3d? which one runs the smoothest?

depends on your graficcard
nvidia-chips run better on opengl
ati-chips on direct3d (not 100% sure)

Which graficcard do you have?

pretty naff one, a NVIDIA RIVA TNT2/TNT2 PRO

I have a ATI 3D Rage Pro.
I need to download the newest driver, because it don't support OpenGL.

I'm pretty sure it supports OpenGL. My old one (a TNT2 M64) supported it too. check out www.nvidia.com for new drivers but be sure that the new drivers support your card.
