This is a desktop with an ATI 5850 in it, running Windows 7 64 bit. I have tried with 10.8, 11.2 and even 11.5 of the ATI drivers and every time I get the same error.

Anyone have any good ideas?

Hey,

That’s really weird. Some reports I’ve seen show an Intel graphics card and Mobility Radeon cards, obviously this is not the case with you. The error report from other people shows the OpenGL version, whereas on your report it is blank.

I can’t suggest anything at the moment, but I’m sure this is one of the identified issues that Splash damage will be updating us on through the next week. For now, it’s best that we keep discussion of this issue to one topic, so as to avoid other issues bring pushed down etc. There was supposed to be a list of known bugs to avoid people posting the same issue over and over again but it looks like Crispy didn’t get round to making it yesterday.

I can’t find a big topic with the issue - but for now just look around yourself. There’s no moderator to merge the topics together at the moment.

I did try to find another post like mine, but as you say they mostly seem to be mobile chipsets, so I plumped for a new topic

QFT, the cheek of some people is laughable

[Nail]

sorry, I couldn’t tell he was pirating from his post. If you can, please tell me how

[Crytiqal]

sorry, I couldn’t tell he was pirating from his post. If you can, please tell me how

Maybe the fact he has ALL the language packs? I dunno but that could indicate?

EDIT: Oh wait, maybe because it isnt in his steamapps folder

EDIT2: No wait, thats for wmanni99, not markan…

[Nail]

ooops, my bad, just noticed the SKIDROW folder

naughty boy

[j0ker231]

Hey Guys, I am also having a huge issue…I am quite irritated…

Please be kind enough to help, I bought the game last night, and really want to play instead of studying for my finals!!!

Your videocard doesn’t qualify for OpenGL 3.1 or newer, what card do you have?
Usually motherboard graphics can’t handle OpenGL 2 or higher i believe.

Or maybe you need to update drivers

What card do you have ?

We don’t need multiple threads for this. I have made a sticky for the basics.
