JK2 with Windows XP and GeForce 2


Proverb252

Recommended Posts

Ok, I have Windows XP and a GeForce 2 MX200 card. We just got the card installed from Best Buy so I can actually play JK2. I was so excited as we rehooked the computer up and I put in the JK2 CD. I start it and AGAIN, the message comes up: Could not load OpenGL subsystem. I WAS SO MAD!!!! Why isn't it working? I tried getting new drivers and even tryed the OpenGL Setup, which gave me a message that it didn't support Windows XP as of yet. ARRRGGGHHH!!!! I want to play this so bad!!! Is anyone having a similar problem like this?? I meet all the requirements. I have a Pentium II, 530 Megahertz, GeForce 2 MX200, and DirectX 8.1. Someone please help!!!!!

Hey dude.. i hope you didnt buy a new vid card for the sole purpose of playing JKII... because im having the EXACT same problem. has the same message and everything. the game was working find in windows 98.. as soon as i installed win xp it started screwin up. so im guessing win xp is throwing in some crap we dont need.

No, that wasn't the only reason. It was for gaming in general because our last card really sucked. But anyway, I installed the latest drivers and it still doesn't work. I think Windows XP is throwing something in there that's messing it up.

A lot of poeple are getting the opengl subsystem error, and we have not figured out what is causing it yet here, and raven nor lucasarts has said anything.

 

A few questions:

 

1. how much ram do you have, you realize for Xp/W2k you need at least 128MB?

 

What did you upgrade from, and how did you do the upgrade? Driver wise in particular.

amd 500mhz

96mb ram

i upgraded From windows98 to windows XP. i just put the CD in and pressed upgrade. it did the rest. sorry i dont know what you mean by "Driver wise in particular.".

 

windows XP itself is running smoothly with 96mb ram. but the game.. well i cant even get it to start. just gives me a error. I will NOT ever go back to windows98.. it was crashing 5+ times a day

Heya guys, newest drivers WILL help. The default drivers XP comes with don't have the Open GL stuff, it's just a basic instruction set. This happened with my Radeon 32meg DDR and it happened when I got this Geforce 4 MX440 So, get the latest drivers and the problem should be solved. Also make sure you're running Direct X.

yah i downloaded the drivers for my voodoo3 and it worked. i can get back in the game again... but, the video is screwed up.. cant adjust the brightness settings, and the game is very dark. also, when i played... the game was fine, except for the sky.. it had like flashing lines of black/sky color.. was wierd.

 

 

heres a screen shot.

i edited the picture more brighter with photoshop so you could actually see the lines and stuff.

 

but atleast now i have something to work with..

Proverb: After you download the drivers you're supposed to find the file you downloaded, and double click it. It'll run through setup and install the new drivers. The latest version of Direct X (8.1) can be found at: http://www.microsoft.com/directx/

To the guy that was having the brightness/graphic problems after finally getting in the game: Make sure your textures are set to 16 bit, rather than 32 bit. I don't remember whether or not a V3 supports a 32 bit color depth. Also, you may try launching the game in safe mode. (There should be a link on the start menu) I don't really know what this does but it's worth a shot.

 

oh yeah: Nview appears to be software used to span the screen across multiple devices. It should be there, so try installing the drivers again or maybe even download them again.
