Please, help a poor guy out .. OpenGL subsystem error ..

[Unprettier]

Can't start JO .. it's because of the subsystem .. something like that .. what's wrong? I have a nVidia GeForce 2 MX. Please help, someone. I want it to work, please! I have not OpenGL, and no internet on the PC yet. But I will have soon. If someone gave me instructions on what to do, that would be terrific. Please help me, guys ..!

This seems common with scaled down nvidia cards, so do me a favor...

 

 

right click the desktop, choose properties, then select setup tab advanced button, and the tab with your device name on it.

 

 

se if there is an nvopengl.dll file listed in the box. and if so does its version match the other driver versions?Fi so, clikc on additional properties button Opengl tab. and set it up like so.

 

Checkboxes

 

Enable buffer region extension - checked

Allow the dual plane extension to use local video memory - checked

use fast linear-mipmap-linear filtering - checked

Disable support for enhanced CPU instruction set - unchekced.

 

Drop down boxes:

 

Default color depth for textures: Always use 16bpp

Buffer-flipping mode: auto-select

Verticle Sync:Always off

 

leave any others at default setting

 

If you have a 3D AA tab, go to it and set it for Manually select AA mode, and then Off [no antialiasing]

 

 

 

I am beginning to wonder if everyone having this problem has an INTEGRATED chipset or do they have AGP cards?

[BlAcKTaLoN]

I'm getting the same problem he's getting but with a TNT 2 ultra, I did everything whitechedda said, and im still getting the same problem, but now it just goes blank after the launching box then turns my screen area to like 800x600 and gives me an illegal operation message.

 

I've also got the latest drivers and everything.

[squirtle]

make sure you also have "hardware acceleration" turned up to 100%. This was a problem for me with Quake 3 long ago.

[Unprettier]

I'm trying to do what you said, but I can't find that Setup Tab place. Please, try to help! I beg you..!

OK, you have to get to display properties, if your having trouble with the first way [right click blank are of desktop, choose properties] then instead go to control panel and double click display. [control panel is start button>settings>COntrol Panel for US version, I get the feeling your not a native English speaker though, so it may differ on your system.

 

To the TNT2 User, Ok, so you had an nvopengl.dll and the file version matched the rest of the files too? correct?

Can you give me any more information abvout the error, can you see what the console says, etc....?

 

I assume your not running background aps or overclocking this card now...... If you are, you need to remove them and try first.

 

I am going to try and create a single player config file that uses minimal effects, so we can see if the error is there in any way. I will post it to this thread later today, with instructions on how to use it [hopefully].

 

Unprettier, I am sorry I did not get back to you tyesterday, but i do have to do my job first, and I work for the Department of Ag & Consumer Services in Florida, so you will have to be patient.

 

In the mean time since you say you have the "Latest drivers" do me another favor.... Look at your monitor, i have a hunch its set to unknown, and if it is let me know and which OS you have.

 

OK there, this script at http://user.gru.net/rattboy/jk2config.cfg

should be as minimal as possible, both sound and graphic wise, backup the current one in your base folder and place this one in it, then try to run the SINGLE PLAYER game and see what happens. If this helps, we'll work on multiplayer next.

[Unprettier]

No problem, Chebba. I'm just really glad you're trying to help. I'll try following your instructions carefully.

[Unprettier]

I don't understand, I am on properties, but there's no Advanced Setup Tabs .. what to do?

It should just be settings, its the place where you set resolution and color depth for the desktop, it SHOULD have a button that says advanced. Click it a another box will be shown, from there locate the tab with your chipset on it, and the Additional properties BUTTON.

 

Another box will be drawn and it will have an OpenGl Settings tab or at least it SHOULD.

 

Like the boxes below

Memory: 64MB required. 128 MB RAM required for Windows 2000 and XP.

 

i got 96mb of ram and im running win xp. that might be the prob for me.. anyone else have less than min req. ram? if alot of people have the problem it might be safe to say that could be the prob.

 

lemme know.

Err, hmm, wonder why more ram is required under those OS's. I assume they themselves require more ram. but I think you can reduce w2k down to only using about 63MB if you just remove unrequired stuff, at least I can at work, so........... But you are probbaly right, though there is another issue with 3dfx cards, thier drivers were not 100% opengl compatible last I recall, so you might try getting the wickedGL drivers for them.

[trenahk]

thanks for your reply chedda. i have gotten those drivers and they didnt help. but my whole PC needs a upgrade... im going to be gettin some money in like a month or 2 so ill probley just buy a whole new system. i dont have any usb ports or where to plug printer... cant run alot of new games... and everything loads slowly. only good thing about my pc is nice monitor.. cable modem and 60gig HD. but i will probley replace it very soon. so ill just have to wait.

Then try deleteing you jk2config.cfg file and rerun the game. Maybe that will get it?

I lost that ability after I downloaded Microsofts patch for Nividia drivers. It will reappear if you install the latest detonator driver (28.32) or if you totally unistall your card drivers and install with 23.11. It drove me batty for awhile too.

[Threetall]

Thanks for the recommended OpenGL settings. I think they may help me.

[simonsel]

Threetall:

the only way to solve the could not open subsystem thing is to update your drivers. i had the same problem with my voodoo 4 and every voodoo user has had it with windows xp. since 3dfx is not making any more drivers you will have to download some 3rd party drivers that support windows xp from http://www.voodoofiles.com

 

there are tons of drivers there that work with windows xp. if you download one and it still doesnt work try another. this will work

hope i helped.

Howdy,

 

I'm getting the following error when I start a Single Player game:

 

 

I'm only getting this error when I start a SP game, as a MP game works fine.

 

System Specs

Windows 2000 Pro with SP2

Abit KT7-Raid mobo

eVGA GF4 MX440 (28.32 drivers)

640mb PC-133

DX8.1 installed

 

I have even put the "jk2config.cfg.pl" file in my dir (D:\Program Files\LucasArts\Star Wars JK II Jedi Outcast\GameData)

 

I have also went thru this thread and have done any of the suggestions people have suggested. Still I get the same error...

 

Can anyone give me some advice, help etc?

 

Thanx!

Try deleting the jk2config.cfg file in your base or gamedata directory and restart.

[Unprettier]

Once again, hello,

 

I have followed your advices but I have no results. Still same old error. What to do? Please help Chedda.

I have run out of idea about what could be causing this. It has to be driver related. However, the only viable solutions left are wipe your harddrive and reinstall from scratch, in the event some part of the system os corrupted, or try some Leaked drivers for your video card.

[Unprettier]

OK, I'll try a uinstall, a restart, and then a reinstall. Hope this is gonna work, which it probably won't, I know it won't. But I guess it's worth a try ..? Anyways, thanks for your help Chedda, thank you for guiding me through the dark, he he. Thanks alot.
