OpenGL

[AHadley]

I've been having problems with all my Q3 games in Windows 7, and it's getting really bloody annoying. The same games worked fine on XPMCE using the same drivers (which haven't been updated since).

Here's my console spam. It's for JK3:JA, so I don't know how legible it will be to you.

Sorry, I don't know how to help you there.

Why don't you try reading a set of web forums dedicated to the game you mention? There's a lot of forums listed at http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=53 .

Not sure if I'm correct at all. It's using a 800x600 resolution. That's not a widescreen standard resolution. You have widescreen monitor? (again, maybe not even relevant at all)

I wouldn't have come here unless I'd tried everywhere else, and technical support.

My normal resolution is 1024x768, the game defaults to 800x600 (most of mine default to 640x480 and don't give me any problems).


I've managed to rectify the issue when I decided bypassing OpenGL might help. I downloaded a program called GLDirect, which intercepts OpenGL messages and replaces them with DirectX ones. It's also fixed the random crashes I get on Quake 3, which is odd.
