<div class="IPBDescription">opengl error</div> I am getting an error that says the opengl mode selected is not supported. How do I fix this? <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo-->

zoda

do the following (applies for windows):


go to C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM and click the file named Opengl32.dll, right click it and select copy. now go to
C:\Sierra\Counter-Strike\gldrv (for Counterstrike retail) or C:\Sierra\half-life\gldrv (half-life) and delete the opengl32.dll from there, right click and select paste, this should copy the opengl32.dll from windows/system to this location


now while still in the gldrv folder: double click drvmap and edit it to say only the following:
"Default Default
3dfxgl.dll 3Dfx Mini Driver
gldrv/opengl32.dll opengl32"

the last part just adds a selection to the part of video vonfig that says "opengl driver" make sure you select opengl32. you can name it whatever you want by chaning the last word, but opengl32 will work fine.



I did that and now OpenGL will run, however I am not sure if that is what fixed it.. If that doesnt work than I am not sure what to do (reinstall HL/cs maybe?)

that can be a problem if you dont want to lose maps though

What I did is take the opengl32.dll from my half-life thing and copied that into gldrv, but I dont see how the system folders version shouldnt work with it.

**you have to go into video mode in Half-life or Counter-strike, Natural-selection ro whatever you want to play and select the video mode's resolution and set it to "geforce 4" or whatever you wrote in the drvmap.txt after "gldrv/opengl32.dll" it will not work if you jsut keep trying to go the console and didnt change the video mode settings in the exe.**


. there is no natural selection folder named gldrv, it is a file for the main game.

I found this out by searching the counter-strike forums at the website and found someone who said to put that text in the drvmap text and another person in a totally different post saying that the opengl dll was probabaly messed and to replace it.

If you dont have any video card you may not be able to get opengl, just go to your counter-strike config and try direct3d or software mode.



go to dxdiag in run and test direct3d and direct draw, both should work fine if your drivers are good. I needed to install NV32 over the 42 ones for it to work.. also it will say aprox. memory "_" MB and it should say how much your card really is... (most likely 32MB, 64MB or 128MB)

If you have errors there and are on a nvidia card try reinstalling the drivers from nvidia.com or if it still wont do it, uninstall those ones and go to and older version, because they put beta version up which dotn always work.



good luck.
