Hello!

I installed JA on my new PC, but I have a problem to start the game. It start to load the game, JA splash screen is appear and stop here. Then a message appears that can not continue. I tried everything what is described in "Crash Fix For Catalyst 10.5+" . I tried even with older driver - Catalyst v. 9.11, but nothing has not changes. Is anyone have idea how to fix this ?

P.S . My OS is Win 7 Ultimate 64 bit, video card is Gigabyte HD5770.

Have you tried compatibility options on the .exe? running as admin?

Yes. I run JA in compatibility mode for Win XP SP2, SP3 and i tick "Disable destop composition" . I run JA as admin. No change.

Yeeee, I fix this problem successfully ! It work!

My kids love this game so I had to figure out a fix. Existing fixes that others posted weren't working. Thanks to all the existing suggestions I found on several sites, plus four hours of trial and error, I was able to figure it out!

 

1. Go to the GLDirect page on SourceForge. Download gldirect5_opensource.zip.

 

2. Extract the contents. Go to the gldirect5\bin\release folder.

 

3. Copy opengl32.dll to your GameData folder.

 

4. Play the game!!
