OpenGL problem

willbill · Apr 3, 2001

You all rave about how great openGL works and looks, problem is I CANT GET IT TO WORK! I have a PIII 500, 128mb, ATI Radeon 32mb and a 19" IBM digital flat panel. When I run UT (or any game for that matter) in openGL, I get a freeze frame effect (ie. the intro movie in UT plays like 1 frame every 2 seconds).

So I'm stuck playing in D3D.. Question though... when you guys have UT detect your video devices, does openGL come up right away, or is openGL under "other devices"? My openGL comes up under "other devices". Oh and I also run a dual monitor setup on this PC which runs on a Voodoo 3000 PCI...
ANY help is greatly appreciated!

Not sure why you're having problems, an ATI user will have to help you there. When UT searches for device drivers, D3D seems to be the default as recommended primary. All the others show up under "other devices". I had to select openGL from there, and it works better that D3D on my geForce card.

Thanks for the reply.. I forgot to mention that I dont think this is a device driver related problem, as I've tried many different ones with the same result as I described in my above post...

Did you do what says from the website?

I know its not a tnt but I had to set my use tnt=1
for it to work (iIwas getting 1 frame per sec..)

Like I said in my first post, this is not a problem with UT. I have the same problem using openGL with ANY game...

I am assuming that every freekin driver you have for video, direct x, opengl and monitor are updated...

If you're having that problem with every video game, I'd have to venture there's some settings wrong with your video card.

UT wouldn't detect the opengl cards in the 400 release, but it did in a patch shortly after. If you're running 432 or 436, then it should show opengl.

Also, are you using the opengl drivers/compressed textures from epic's unreal site?
