Unusual OpenGL error after OS reinstall?


Recommended Posts

Ok, so I had to reinstall my laptop PC and made clear installation of Windows 7 professional 64bit. I installed most of my previews settings, programs, drivers etc. However when I installed JKA again I ran into the well known issue with the OpenGL subsystem. I checked few threads here and on the internet as well and still nothing helps. I patched the game to 1.0.1 and also I have extracted the "opengl32.dll" in my GameData still doesn't seem to work. Reinstalled the game, tried different suggestions that I found nothing is working. Game doesn't start for both SP and MP. My laptop is very old doesn't have any ATI or Nvidia it runs only with a Intel Core 2 Duo Centrino.
I either have to try with NVIDIA drivers installed or something else, because every single step and suggestion I have found over the internet doesn't work and I'm out of ideas :( I thought, that it will work with the "opengl32.dll" file but still no.

Well I tried with this one: https://sourceforge.net/projects/gldirect/files/latest/download?source=typ_redirect  but I didn't tried with OpenJK usually it works fine without the OpenJK and it's the first time I have this issue. Once few years ago I had same problem, but when I downloaded and extracted the same OpenGL32.dll file it worked and now it doesn't strange.

Yes I removed it before launching the OpenJk, strange is that the laptop is old for sure but it's the first time refusing to play this game.

clear JKA without OpenJK installed:

And with OpenJK installed it's just normal game starting with a huge lag and a missing video on the start menu (the one before a player selects either new game or saved one).

The game always has a console mate. The in-game version exists plus you can launch the game with +set logfile 2 on the startup parameters to get the entire log in a file. If you have the in-game console open you can always type condump console.txt and it will appear in the home directory in your documents under my games.

intel onboard graphics usually are bare minimum, just enough to run simplistic games, lol. you should be able to run openjk with low level settings.

 

there isnt any opengl support that i can see with intel onboard video using windows. if you setup just a small linux partition with 50 gb's, you should be able to

run jka better using openjk.

My old laptop that I use mostly for JKA is ACER Extensa 5620-6635 it has almost the same specs as this one described here however since the last time I have made any upgrades on the laptop that are not jut reinstalling the OS are:

* 500 GB HDD
* 4 GB RAM
* Windows 7 Professional 64bit

Since the Window 7 was released for first time ever until today this laptop had only 4 times of reinstalling the windows with clear installation. Everything else from the laptop specifics are the same as in the link.
Processor: Intel® Core2 Duo CPU T5450 @ 1.66GHz 1.67GHz

If I managed to get it right it should be this:

Yeah you don't have any drivers. You'll notice it only is loading Microsoft basic OpenGL which isn't really a hardware accelerated version at all. And I'm pretty sure software renderer isn't allowed either.

 

I would suggest looking into Intel's newest Graphics Media Accelerator driver which may have a real OpenGL driver even if only for 1.4 that's still better than the basic MS one.

Well I remember that once I used to have some Nvidia drivers installed on the same laptop and JKA was running like new and i can't remember what drivers were and not sure how it was working with them, since it's only Intel :D But I will try with Intel now and after that I will write here what happens.

If it has an nvidia graphics card it's not using it, it's using the intel onboard card at the moment.  Try and reseat your graphics card and see if windows detects it after a restart.

I don't know how you'd do that considering its a laptop :D

Pull the battery out and the harddrive, and maybe the keyboard depending on the laptop.  But yeah, might be a little much if you don't have the right kind of screwdrivers to pull it apart. 

 

Maybe try device manager first to see if you can just uninstall reinstall nvidia drivers, see if it even shows up there.

Link to the manufacturer's manual guide for this particular laptop?  Or an Amazon sell page for the laptop?

Check the first page, i shared the details of the laptop there with a link for it's original details and the stuff i have updated on the laptop. Tried to install the 64 bit version update for Intel similar to the one that @@ensiform suggested, however when I started to install it and it was not successful because it is not supported for this laptop model. Maybe with an older update.
