Thanks. I'll try that.

EDIT: It might be the driver apparently which doesn't support OpenGL

It's too late now to do anything. I'm sooooooooooo tired. I'll try installing the new driver tomorrow.



EDIT 2: Nevermind that, I tried it tonight... but I have a different version than any of their drivers. I need a diskette or something. Unless I just ask my pc repair guy to install the latest drivers.

"""* Windows XP Users:
Please note that the default drivers that come with Windows XP are NOT OpenGL compatible. You will need to go to the video card or video chip manufacturer and obtain the latest Windows XP compatible drivers with OpenGL support. This is especially true for ATi and nVidia based video cards."""

Noooooooooooooooo!

I found all the needed info here:

I can't even email them... it brings me to some stupid 404 page (or something similar) Oh yeah, nVidia that is.

I've removed that doublepost and your signature and avatar as they exceed the filesize and dimension limits for the forum. Please stick to the rules in future.

On topic, what graphics card do you have? If you don't know, go Start -> Run and run dxdiag - it'll be listed in the top left of the Display tab.

nVidia GeForce2 MX/MX 400

Would that be the graphics card?

[BeefontheBone]

Yup, that's the one. You should be able to get up-to-date drivers from nVidia's website.

(I have Windows XP)

I did actually, but these were the only drivers they were offering:

1: GeForce and TNT2
2: GeForce Go 7800 GTX
3: Quadro
4: Riva 128 / 128128 ZX

For GeForce and TNT2, it had the following note (amongst others):
"""Adds support for GeForce 7900 GTX, GeForce 7900 GT, and GeForce 7600 GT"""


And for GeForce Go 7800 GTX, it had the following note (amongst others):
"""ForceWare driver that supports Mobile GPUs. This driver only supports GeForce Go 7800 GTX GPUs from the manufactures listed above."""


I have no idea if any of these 2 are right, since I have nVidia's GeForce2 MX/MX 400
The problem is that their customer support doesn't work
I get one of those pages which says either that the page doesn't exist or whatever.


The site I went to was this one http://www.nvidia.co...ers/drivers.asp

[BeefontheBone]

You want the first one of those - the drivers for GPUs these days cover whole chipsets rather than individual cards.

[mades]

I'll be doing that then, I'll edit this post later on.

EDIT 1: Downloading 20 mb or so.

EDIT 2: Mmm, it said that the software I'm currently trying to install "has not passed Windows Logo testing to verify its compatibility with Windows XP". And it also said that it could destabilise or impair the system either now or in the future.   Now THAT would suck. Methinks asking my pc guys at the store would be safer than me going forward with it (?) since they've been fixing my pc for years now; without any complaints on our side. Well, I need to get more rams anyway, I could ask them then I suppose, since they have installed some things on my pc. So, maybe they are some things on my pc that I don't know about by heart.

Just wanted to say that this game is pretty good. I play on Icelandic servers, but the noob server (called main something) does not have any protection against hackers, so it nearly impossible to play there. So I play on the pro server (which has punkbuster) but there people sometimes hack, I think (I saw a guy just jumping over a wall). But that is the only thing I find wrong with it.

I do best as a covert ops with a sniper   I can take out a moving target (not in close combat) in 2-3 shots (assuming the character is in full health) if the target is in plain sight.

But I pretty much must be in a good place where the enemy can't get to close (or sneak behind me and knife me)

Overall a great game

I Like being a Covert Ops, it really sucks though when there is a little bit of lag on the server and the shot you fired from the sniper rifle jumps with the scope, which means on laggy servers I don't get to use the best K3 rifle (which reloads unlike crappy garand) but have to use the multi-purpose unsilenced FG rifle.

Favourite Map has got to be Fuel Dump, if your axis, did you know that on the first MG Tower that you can build, you can jump on the little ladder-guard at the top and jump onto the roof, most people never look at the roof and you are safe from sniper fire from the foot-bridge side.

Worst Map has got to be Wurzburg Radar, its so damn laggy (if you have crappy graphics cards and processors)

@Tareal - what do you mean by jumping over a wall? Like jumping 10 feet into the air over a wall? If freindly fire is off then he might have got blasted over with a dynamite or grenade.

[Tarael]

Friendly fire was on. There is a huge wall about the hight of 2 men. And he just jumped over.

I'm gonna assume more people that play ET are more active here (AR) as i play it almost everyday so i was hoping maybe to play with some of ya i live the US so ill reach out as far as the U.K. and Poland to play on a server.

WOOO! True Combat Elite is here! Anyone who even has heard of ET should check it out. IMO, TCE is much better than ET, with a realistic, yet action packed Counter-strike-esque take on the FPS genre http://www.truecombatelite.net/

They're just poor little bastards, who are being kicked to head in real life, so they want vengeance and play to be the greatest. And only way they can get it is cheating. Doping I kind of understand, though I don't accept it, but using aimbots etc is just... pathetic. And I know what you mean, that you're not just whining against betters. If you've played couple of years, been in clans etc, I think you've already grown over that part. Btw, which clans? I'm former member of 27th Reg, though we used to be MoHAA-only clan. Being former member means something like I took part in... erm, one match? Or something.

About TC:E, looks potentially good. I guess I have to check it out, though for some odd reason my FPS online games lag like hell...
