teleguy Posted July 16, 2002 Share Posted July 16, 2002 Do you get an error message like "couldn't load opengl subsystem" ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[KOR]SlicedHam Posted July 17, 2002 Author Share Posted July 17, 2002 No, what happens is, when I click Multiplayer or Singel Player, it acts like it's gonna load fine, but, when it goes to full screen, I get a blank grey screen, and then I get this weird distorted image that looks like my desktop, only all scrambled up. I end up having to pull the plug on my PC to turn it off, because everything is frozen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make sure you have the latest drivers but with 3dfx out of business that card is not going to last you much longer. Sorry but you may be sol!

teleguy Posted July 17, 2002 Share Posted July 17, 2002 Try the WickedGL drivers. HOW TO GET JKII TO RUN WITH A VOODOO 5 It should work with a Voodoo 5 5500 AGP, but may take bit of tinkering. When I first installed and ran the a similar game such as Medal of Honour: Allied Assault, none of the video sequences at the start would show and the menu system's text was so horribly corrupted that it made menu navigation impossible. Heres how I fixed it: 1) I downloaded WickedGL from http://www.wicked3d.com/technology/wickedgl.htm and installed it. 2) I went into the dir where I installed Medal of Honour: Allied Assault and found the exe file, and I renamed it quake3.exe 3) Then I ran the WickedGL control panel, and told it to look for the game Quake 3 in my Medal of Honour: Allied Assault dir. 4) It told me it had found a copy and asked me if I wanted to install the MiniGL driver there, so I clicked OK. 5) I closed the WickedGL control panel, went back into my Medal of Honour: Allied Assault dir and renamed quake3.exe back to its original name Now when I run the game I get the WickedGL shareware message which says press 'C' to continue, and then the game works fine! My PC is as follows: PIII 700mhz 320MB RAM Voodoo 5 5500 AGP SB LiVE! Value Windows 2000 Pro DirectX 8.1 The game runs like a dream on my machine in 800x600x32 This should also work with Jedi Knight II seeing as though the graphics engine is also based on the Quake 3 engine. Give it a try and make sure you have the latest drivers for your card!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[KOR]SlicedHam Posted July 17, 2002 Author Share Posted July 17, 2002 I tried that WickedGL thing, didn't work. The funny thing is, that JK II worked fine with my Voodoo 4 and Windows 98, I'm guessing that Windows XP just doesn't like the Voodoo 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[KOR]SlicedHam Posted July 17, 2002 Author Share Posted July 17, 2002 Ok, I tried switching the drivers for my Voodoo, and now it does give me that "couldn't load opengl subsystem" error. Anything I can do about that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teleguy Posted July 17, 2002 Share Posted July 17, 2002 Your new drivers are not fully opengl compatible. You have to try different drivers. http://www.voodoofiles.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
