Crash to Desktop->atioglxx.dll


(orki22) #1

Hello,
after searching in this forum and google i still don’t know what to do.
The problem is that after i started the game it crashes with an error.
The problem seems to be a data called atioglxx.dll.
I tried several thinks now: disable the Catalyst A.I., patching my graphic driver.
That doesn’t work either.I still don’t get into the game.

any ideas?
Thank you

latest ati card driver/radeon x1600/x1650 series

GL&hf with ati, the biggest …
I had restarts in the middle of game. I couldn’t fix it by trying all possible drivers and control settings. The game would just crash when joining a team, an explosion occurred or any other distinctive event. So far under win7 it hasn’t happened.
Also, if you buy any other ogl game in the future, never go for ATI. I have to use my laptop every time i want to render footage because…(skipping very long list of bugs).

Soz i rly had to rage about this.

Well i can understand how you feel but that doesn’t solve my problem.

Is there really no way to fix this?
Like a patch or a hotfix?
Developers must take note that many people have these problems. It’s just stupid when you buy a game and it doesn’t work.
And I don’t get what big deal it is to spend some time on a hotfix which will give all people the opportunity to play their game.
I DON’T WANT TO THROW MY F****** MONEY AWAY!

that’s pretty low end card, try reducing your desktop resolution to start

you’ll want the 10.2 drivers, not the latest ATI drivers

try here:

Omega driver maybe? But I’m really not sure if they are still updated…

@Nail
Didn’t work. Changing the driver version + changing resolution had no effect.
thanks anyway

I’ll download the Omega driver as Apples said. We’ll see if that works. :rolleyes:

If anyone else has an idea how to fix it pls post.
THERe MUST BE A WAY TO PLAY IT EVEN WITH AN ATI CARD. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE!

EDIT:
With the Omega drivers I can get into the game. As soon as i load a map i have the same damn mistake again. *****

Just fyi, this is ATI’s fault, I don’t think there’s anything Splashdamage could do to fix this apart from building their game on a different engine that doesn’t use OpenGL :wink:

I realise that doesn’t solve your problem though. I remember reading this before, the older Ati cards simply wouldn’t work. I don’t recall seeing a working fix unfortunately.

try using driver cleaner before installing any new/different drivers
