The current video card/driver combination does not support OpenGL 3.1 or newer

Sup,

Cheers for the feedback, ill try and update the driver and ill get back to you

Saxo · 2011-05-17 09:19:38 UTC

Just updated all my drivers for the card
OpenGL Version 6.14.10.8202

Still not working, coming up with the same error as before…

A lot of AMD users have this issue where their game simply won’t run, even with all of the minimum specs.

I’ve upgraded drivers, downgraded drivers, cleaned drivers, reinstalled the game, switched my video settings every which way and nothing. At this point it’s looking like some of us are stuck waiting for a patch still. I just hope they’ll focus on those of us who bought the game day one and still can’t play before more performance fixes, because if I could even get to the main menu I’d consider it a great victory.

Not sure where you’re seeing that number, but there is no such OpenGL version.

What kind of computer do you have and where did you download your drivers? They aren’t working properly or are old.

There is nothing Splash Damage can do to “fix” this particular issue. They have no control over what OpenGL version your graphics driver is reporting. This error can only be corrected by fixing whatever driver problem you have on your system.

My laptop is a dell studio 15

64-bit OS
ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4570

How i found out my OpenGl version is to go into
Control pannel > Personalization > Display Settings > Advanced Settings… > Catalyst™ Control Center > Information Center then Graphics Software. Mine looks like this:

Driver Packaging Version 8.553.2-081114a1-072190C-Dell

OpenGL Version 6.14.10.8202
Catalyst® Control Center Version 2008.1114.2149.39131

Yeah so far I cant find any other solution. Looks like some graphics cards even though can run openGL3.1 and higher, simply wont run the game.

But if anyone finds any solutions please let me know, i really want to play it!!!

Yeah, that’s about a 2 year old driver.

You need to get updated drivers installed.

Saxo · 2011-05-17 15:49:39 UTC

Downloading the latest Driver now, Ill post the details later and see if it runs…

Saxo · 2011-05-17 15:55:43 UTC

Oh any has anyone else had any luck by updating their drivers?

Saxo · 2011-05-17 16:08:30 UTC

The download of the new driver did not work…

Hi matey,
we are all experiencing the same problem.
Ive just ****ed my PC by uninstalling the graphics drivers then tying to reinstall them…

Try this and let us know if it works.

I’m assuming it said it couldn’t find a compatible graphics device. Did you make sure you downloaded the correct driver for your video card? Seems pretty easy to accidentally select the GeForce 200 series from the drop-down rather than the GeForce 200M Series on nVidia’s driver download page.

Phantom · 2011-05-18 16:54:27 UTC

yeah, i selected the correct one and thats wat i got… Im still tryin to fix this and i get told to unistall my driver, or buy a new one or all sorts of shenanigans t-t and i appreciate the help

Moonlighter · 2011-05-18 17:10:15 UTC

You could try grabbing the driver from here:

The Windows 7/Vista driver download links there include a modified ini file which includes more device id’s than nVidia’s drivers generally allow. The issue is, some OEMs configure notebook computers with a video card that is made specifically for that vendor. They might have slightly adjusted device ID’s which prevent the usual drivers from installing because they want to control what drivers get loaded onto their devices. This seems to be less common these days than it used to be, but it does still happen.

McAfee · 2011-05-18 17:10:59 UTC

For AMD and NVIDIA users, if you are not using the drivers mentioned on the link below, the game will probably not work. You’ll be wasting your time trying to make the game work correctly with any driver older than the ones specified there:

http://www.splashdamage.com/forums/showthread.php?t=24711

Note that you usually get fresh drivers from the manufacturer of the Video Card, NOT the manufacturer of the Computer. This sometimes is a problem for laptops like the previous post says.

If you don’t have an AMD or NVIDIA card. You are probably out of luck. Intel, which is probably the most common IGP, doesn’t seem to provide OpenGL 3.1 support not even on their latest solutions.

i hope u guys can help me…i dont know…new Graphic card?

Saxo · 2011-05-19 20:43:25 UTC

Hmm yeah i think its one of those things of being patent and waiting for a patch or asking around and seeing which graphics cards are working.
My mate has a HD Radeon which works fine.
I’m sad because the game hit the criteria for a great fps game that was moving away from the arcade style fps which cod had created. Will be a real shame if they are not able to patch it.

For you Dara either wait and see, or spend money on a graphics card which might not solve the solution.

Cheers
