David Veen Posted April 23, 2002 Share Posted April 23, 2002 :(I've played it for a week than it stopped working. It says it couldn't load opengl subsystem. Somewhere in the middle of the thingy it said couldn't exec jk2mpconfig.cfg couldn't exec autoexec.cfg I copied the jk2mpconfig.cfg file from my CD to my base directory because there wasn't any of those in it yet. Now it says: execing jk2mpconfig.cfg couldn't exec autoexec.cfg If anybody has that file mail it to dtjveen@hotmail.com If anybody knows what to do please say so. Given things: Install the latest drivers check Uninstall the latest drivers check Reïnstall your Geforce 2 GTS Pro card check I've done everything driver reelated so don't give me that **** again. I have: Pentium III NvDia Geforce 2 GTS Pro Windows ME 40 GB hard drive space etc.. etc.. etc.. etc.. If you need to know anything else, just ask.

Umm, the autoexec.cfg is a long standing quake file that the USER creates for his own personal configuration, things like special key binding such as bind space screenshot go in it. The fact you do not have one is of no concern.......... If you want to make sure you have all the cfg files, simply grab the CD [assuming its a legit copy] and copy all the cd to a temp folder, then run the install from there. Now, using winzip, extract the cfg files from the assets0.pk3 file. This is where the game is supposed to be getting them from in the first place if they are not available. Oh, and use the defualt install path, just in case........ As to know anything else, what motherboard do you have? have you checked your BIOS for the video cache options settings, should be either off, no, or UC for uncachable, your card does not support this feature, in fact I don't think any card does. While we are at it, go into your windows system folder and locate a file called opengl32.dll, right click it and check for properties, then hit the version tab and tell me if it says File version 4.0 now click on product name and see if it says Microsoft Windows NT Operating System, if it does this is CORRECT. . Explorer will probably hide dll's from your view until you set it up not to BTW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Veen Posted April 23, 2002 Author Share Posted April 23, 2002 I have all the cfg files except the autoexec. As for my motherboard; Pentium lll/celreon socket 370 133MHz 4X AGP ATX Motherboard or: AX34 PROll Or so it says on the box. The file version was CORRECT How do I do that with EXPLORER Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhiteChedda Posted April 23, 2002 Share Posted April 23, 2002 OK, its an Aopen AX34 Pro II, which uses the via chipset, so if you have not alrady gotten the latest drivers for your motherboard, go to http://www.viaarena.com and do so. AS to bios options/patches, I will have to do a little more research at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhiteChedda Posted April 23, 2002 Share Posted April 23, 2002 Originally posted by David Veen WhiteChedda, you're a god if you help me fix this problem No, you're even greater than that than Well to be honest, I am not certain you have a valid copy, but if thats the problem, none of my fixes will help you, so I don't mind trying. nd since there are alot of people having similar problems, its possible you are legit, or some of them are and can use the help. First thing first, via driver. Announcement to anyone else reading this, Via was a somewhat renegade chipset maker and MS did not support them in OS releases, therefore you MUST get drivers for a motherboard using these chipsets, until Win XP, where MS finally caved in, even then, via's controllers are unique and occasionally a via driver set will improve performance/fix issues. Therefore, if you have a via chipset, and you have problems with ANY software, update those drivers. Unlike video drivers, so far it has not been necessary to uninstall older via drivers first. That said, I don't really see how the 4-n-1 drivers will help an opengl subsystem failure unless its memory related. but you never know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mertado Posted April 24, 2002 Share Posted April 24, 2002 WARNING: VIA DRIVERS MAY CAUSE YOUR OS TO DIE. PERMANENTLY. REGARDLESS OF VERSION. MEANING YOU'LL HAVE TO REINSTALL THE SYSTEM. HAPPENED TO ME. TWICE. PROCEED AT YOUR OWN RISK. I had the same problem. My SP game worked long enough to let me play through it once, then ever after, it crashed saying OpenGL error. I haven't changed any hardware or major software, so I just deleted the jk2 SP config file, ran the game and let the game rebuild it for me. Worked like a charm. I suspect that these files (can happen in MP too) easily get corrupted if the game doesn't shut down properly, which it may or may not report to you.

David Veen Posted April 24, 2002 Author Share Posted April 24, 2002 would reínstalling the game help too then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chiles4 Posted April 25, 2002 Share Posted April 25, 2002 The VIA drivers consist of 4 "drivers": IDE Drivers (for the IDE controllers) AGP Drivers (for the AGP subsystem) IRQ "Driver" INF file to help OS identify low-level devices on mobo. WIN9X If you're running any flavor of Win9X, you MUST install the AGP driver in order to play 3D games. If you're only going to do 2D work, you don't need it. You can ignore the rest as they're not critical. I run Win98SE and I always install the .INF file as it hurts nothing. I highly recommend you avoid installing ANY form of VIA IDE drivers. They have a reputation of sucking BIG TIME and are only useful if you have an IDE-related problem like getting an internal IDE Zip drive to work or something like that. WIN2000 The wisdom here is if you're at Win2000 Service Pack 2 you DON'T need any VIA drivers. Good support is built right into the Service Pack. WINXP I'm no expert on XP but I would think that this OS has good support for VIA chipsets too without installing any VIA drivers. -------------------------------------------------------- I've used the VIA 4.37 and 4.38 drivers successfully with JK2.

Mert your the first person I have ever heard of trash thier OS installing drivers, but I suppose its possible no matter what driver your installing. However, WCS is reinstall the OS. Chiles, Nice, but not entirely accurate. Via suggests anyone having trouble with a via chipset reguardless of OS try the newest drivers at http://www.viaarena.com. http://www.viaarena.com/?PageID=3&faq=7&Search= Now if you are running fine, well one would have to wonder why you even bother looking if their are new drivers, to be frank. David, its possible reinstalling will help, especially if you uninstall and then delete the jk2 directory afterward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chiles4 Posted April 25, 2002 Share Posted April 25, 2002 Chedda, thanks for filling in the blanks for the OSes I don't use but keep in mind who's giving the advice. I guess I'm kind of surprised that VIA suggested installing them regardless of OS. They seem to work fine for Win9X but based on VIA's reputation for writing crappy drivers (mainly IDE) I'd be REAL hesitant to install them on an XP system. As it turns out, Microsoft writes better drivers for their chipsets than VIA themselves do. What's funny is that MS also writes better drivers for SIS chipsets than SIS does.
