Problems w/ Jedi Knight 2: Jedi Outcast

Could not load OpenGL.

What do I do?

I used the system checker and everything passed, I ran the DirectX diagnostics and it was ok.

I consulted the Lucasart websites for technical shit and the like. So then it boils down to something with the graphics card and shit. My graphics card is a GeeForce2, I believe, hence I go to the Nivida site..... and then what do I do? I searched for OpenGL, now what?

Any shortcuts?

Advice?

Steps?

Places where I can DL stuff to make my problem solved or at least aleviate my situation?

Anything?

My question is retarded, I know since I am just a moron.

BTW my OS is WinXP.

Hrm, I'll look around, but JK2 might have some issues with WXP, I can't remember. Try using compatibility mode (right-click the shortcut and there's a tab for it)

What do I do after I right click and click on the compatibility thing?

Go to the nVidia site and make sure you download and install the latest set of Detonator drivers for your OS. Frequently that makes the OpenGL problems go away. If they still show up after that, you may have other compatibility issues.

I'll do that shit you said tomorrow Grand Admiral, I just hope it works.

It is a free download, right?

Thanks guys, if more shit happens then I'll just scream.

I had some shitty problems with JK2 on my god-machine which eventually led to me reformatting it, though these problems just made it freeze spontaneously. Compatability setting didn't change anything. It runs fine* on this shitbox, though.











*Only if you consider 10 FPS to be "fine".

Yep, it's free, but if you've got dialup, you're going to need a little patience.

I had the same problem (my computer uses the dreaded Intel Graphics Technology). Just d/l the latest OpenGL drivers from your video card's website.

I got DSL :) How fast will it be?

My sis is pissed, when I did that compatibility shit, after I tried to play the game the monitor went crazy, it goes black, normal, black.......

I uninstalled the game..... for the 3rd or 4th time.

Thanks for your tips guys.

How do I find this "Detonator driver"? I can't find it in the Nvida site.

Is this the right place Terwynn?
