OpenGl mode

[SoulStriker]

hmph. I just got a new hard drive, installed all my stuff *again*, and now HL says that my video card dosnt support my opengl mode, yet i KNOW it can. I remember having this prob before, i just cant remember how to fix it =/

Do you have XP and a GEForce card? if so then you probably need to redownload the detonators, go to the nvidia website and go from there.

else change some other video settings like high detail stuff.
that worked for me too once

thats happened to me when format and install everything. Installing the newest drivers and the latest version of directx usually corrects that for me

 

[SoulStriker]

Ah yes, i forgot to nab those drivers!!! thx for your help all :laff:

Actually I was wondering if there was any way to update OpenGl itself without getting new detonator drivers. Do the detonator drivers actually even have OpenGl updates in them? The only way I've confirmed of doing this is downloading that proggy from OpenGl.com and searching for the drivers, but they don't support Geforce3s

 

[SoulStriker]

hmm, i dunno. i just went to nivida.com and dled the driver for my os, now it works

You can get videocard tweakers at www.guru3d.com
They can boost preformance for your video card. There are also tweaks for OpenGL, Software, and Direct3D, Sonic, if thats what your asking.
