mercuryx013 Posted April 27, 2002 Share Posted April 27, 2002 I recently purchased JK2 and I'm having trouble running it with my graphics card. I have a VooDoo 5500 and when I launch JK2 it tells me that OpenGL failed to start. The VooDoo 5500 is a 64m 3d card, there should be no problems, right? Anyone have any suggestions?

Ki||er Posted April 27, 2002 Share Posted April 27, 2002 thats because to my knowledge Jedi Knight II required a FULLY COMPATIBLE OpenGL card, while Voodoo5's only roughly support it. I am not too sure about that, but I think thats it :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daEliteHax0r Posted April 27, 2002 Share Posted April 27, 2002 Read the ****en Manual! Voodoo5 5500 doesnt work with JK2 on Windows 2000/XP ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiwiNZ Posted April 27, 2002 Share Posted April 27, 2002 daEliteHax0r Why use language like "rtfm" and "Read the ****en Manual!" The question put by "mercuryx013" was quite simple and unoffensive surely a reply like . Hi mercuryx013 to the best of my knowledge that your card is not supported, Or Hi mercuryx013 I just checked and the manual advises that your card is not supported , These examples take the same time to type and this make Neowin a friendlier place to visit . Manners take no longer . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baphomet_irl Veteran Posted April 27, 2002 Veteran Share Posted April 27, 2002 i reckon it might be possible - try some of the special opengl drivers that were brought out by 3dfx when q3test came out - check voodoofiles or wotever - i aint sayin it'll run nice - but it might run with some tweaking...

BroChaos Veteran Posted April 28, 2002 Veteran Share Posted April 28, 2002 hehe still, you'd be suprised how many questions are answered in the manual... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arsekicker Posted April 28, 2002 Share Posted April 28, 2002 The native drivers for the V5 under XP only vaguely support DX. You'll need to get some third party drivers for OPENGL to work. I finally bit the bullet and got a new card awhile ago, but I believe that the Hujer Hoe and Cairey drivers (should be available on voodoofiles) will support OPENGL pretty well.

Thanks to arsekicker and hotrod. The Hujer Hoe drivers work fine and run JK2 without saying anything rude or telling me to buy anew video card. Thanks again.
