Q3demo, RC2128, Voodoo3

After loading up Seldzar's driver, I got Q2 working properly, so I thought I'd try Q3demo.

 

When I start Q3demo, the screen goes all grey/white for a minute then bombs w/ W2k error box. The last message I could read on the console said was "GLW_STARTOPENgl ()-could not load opengl subsystem." What the heck does that mean?

I reviewed most all of the other posts and I couldn't find an answer...I still wonder if I have all the driver stuff straight. Its got me confused.

 

I used Seldzar's W2k Voodoo3 driver. That made Q2 work properly. Then on Q3demo, I get the gray screen/bomb. I tried doodling with 3dfxOGL, renaming it to 3dfxvgl and putting it in the \\system32 folder. And copying the opengl32.dll from Q3demo folder to \\system32 folder. Nothing has helped.

 

Cheers!

do you have both glide2x.dll & glide3x.dll

in the system32 folder ?.

You didn't need to copy opengl32.dll,

This part rigth "3dfxogl renaming it to 3dfxvgl".

You may have to extract the real Win2K opengl32.dll back in to system32 folder

If you got WinZip7 drag this file CDROM:\i386\opengl32.dl_ in to WinZip7 & extract it.

What ver of quake3 do you got I not tried out 1.09 at this time but I'am work on it.

OK, I'll restore the original opengl.dll.

 

Have glide2 & 3, the date on these two files are 3-20-1999.
