Messiah: Hangs on Load, at: Initializing OpenGL

Post by froo »

Crap.
System Specs:

Win XP 32 bit
Video card: ATI Radeon X1600/X1650 Series

Hangs on: Initializing OpenGL

Had a similar problem with Blender; the solution there was to copy opengl32.dll
to the blender folder I think.

Thoughts? Tips? Solutions?

Thanks!

Have you got the recent patch? The only other thing I can think of is that you update your drivers.

I've had too many hassles over the years with ati cards and crappy opengl support, which is why I now stick with geforce. Apparently the newer radeon cards are better.

Thanks Benji.
Wellll... regarding drivers, this card is pretty old. I had some confusion about which one
was the right one for the card. The documentation was not very clear. This is an AGP 4X
card, so, heh I think, back in 2009, the drivers were deprecated. I should see if there
are any nVidia AGP cards out there anymore; I doubt it since PCI Express has been
around for some time now. That's what I am concerned about: having to build a new
system just for this app. But, we'll see!

tried the drivers dated Feb. 24 2010. No Luck.
I have a newer video card, traded it for a OBJ plugin,
from a user here. I can try that card with newer drivers.
Sometime soon. Too late tonight. :bananacheers:
