Soldier of Fortune Problems

Recommended Posts

yes, it's me, it's jdulmage, back again...

 

anyways, in Windows 2000 when I try to run Soldier of Fortune, it just boots out of the game right away and says something like "GLimp_SwapBuffers()" or something stupid. I have Detenator 2 drivers installed and everything. What's going on??

 

Thanks

At least your system stays up. My system goes to a blue screen memory dump because NV4_disp caused some kind of fatal error.

To run Soldier of Fortune, I do believe you need to run it as a Power User, because it will not run under any other account for some odd reason

This is a OpenGL problem. Follow this instruction, and it should work! It did for me.

 

Windows 2000 & Detonator 2 OpenGL fix

[Comments] by Thomas McGuire @ 16:53

Those of you out there who are experiencing crashes in Opengl games such as Soldier of Fortune (e.g. GLimp_EndFrame() - SwapBuffers() failed!) after installing the Detonator 2 drivers for Windows 2000 will need to fix it using this procedure.

1. Click, Start, Run.

2. Type in regedit & hit Enter.

3. Go to [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\OpenGLDrivers]. Delete the RIVATNT subkey.

4. Go to [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\OpenGLDrivers] & make a New String Value entitled RIVATNT

& give it a value of nvoglnt.

Thanks to the nVidia newsgroup (unknown_error in particular) for mentioning the basic fix

 

_Update_ - Step 4 has changed! UT works in OpenGL

 

 

Also, if u update the game (v1.04, i think) you don't have to run it as a power user, u can run it as an administrator as well.

Next time, use the "search" button, this is all standing here already!

I had the same with the 5.22 and up drivers.
I installed the 5.17 drivers and the problem has gone.
I had to really remove the 5.22 drivers (set system to default MS driver, reboot, remove NVidia 5.22 driver, reboot, install Nvidia 5.17 driver). Just up[censored] the current driver with a single reboot didn't work.
