[Jawa Teh Jedi]

when my computer was still a 98 the open gl problem happened and i was like wtf and i fixed it but it wasnt by updating or doing anything with the drivers and now i am getting the same problem i have tried multiple drivers. but the nvidia ones wont take the place of my current driver i can tell because when i check my comp specs it says my old drivers name not the fancy nvidia one.

What shall I do?

[Andy867]

It may not be possible for you to play because most integrated chipsets for video cards do not support OpenGL.. You can TRY WickedGL and see if that helps, but it may not help if the chipset is too old or just doesnt have the capabilities that the game requires.

[Scruffy Looking]

I have encountered a similar problem with Jedi Academy. Oddly enough, I ran the demo on the same PC last year and never experienced any problems, but the dreaded "could not open OpenGL subsystem problem" suddenly came up with the actual game when I finally bought one last weekend.

I'm using an Nvidia GeForce FX 5200, and have updated my drivers with version 78.01 (the latest- released September 2, 2005). I checked my specs if they were ok to run the game, and saw that I was waaaaaay beyond the recommended specs.

I checked JA's troubleshooting guide, and saw that my video card and chipset is supported by the game, so there's no reason for it NOT to work.

I've exhausted all possibilities that I know, and the game still doesn't work.

I did encounter this:

"If you are using a video card that supports dual monitors, the secondary monitor must be disabled for OpenGL to initialize correctly."

I don't know if my card does support dual monitors, but how do I disable the secondary monitor? I checked my Display section, but I don't see any options.

Please help me guys, I've waited a long time for this.

[acdcfanbill]

i dunno about the dual monitor thing, i run dual monitors and JA runs just fine, i do however run it windowed most of the time, but FS works fine too. as to your openGL problem, i have no idea since you said you updated drivers. But try it again, download directx 9.0c from microsoft, and the newest forceware driveres from nvidia, install both, restart and check again is all i can say :s

[George12345]

I got the same problem well i have been playing JK2 for 4 years with no problems and now i got this Could not open OpenGl system error when starting up jk2mp.exe All started when i bought, installed and formated a secondary disk!

Well i have tried many things:

WickedGl
Latest nvidia drivers

though i couldn't delete the old drivers from device manager

i need a good answer for my problem please i have tried everything but nothing worked and here are my specs

Intel P4 2.4
Ram: 1,5 gb
OS: Windows XP Pro sp 2
HDD: a 40 gb and a 256 gb
I got intergrated motherboard graphic card and
a nvidia GeForce FX 5200 128 mb
with latest drivers

also let me mention that in system check everything was ok except DirectX and 3D Accelerator help me!

Somehow i have a problem like that, my problem was resolved unistalling and reinstalling the game, have this in mind..., any change that you make to your computer (hardware, maybe a new videocard, or softaware, maybe new drivers)will make you to reinstall the game. My problem was like that, i installed a new video card to my computer (the computer had the game installed) so i get that problem, i tried to update the card, etc but nothing worked. So i reinstalled the game and it worked. hope this help you.

[George12345]

heh yeah i had the same problem before several years but when i try reinstall jk2 i get problems with net frameworks i have uninstalled frameworks but nothing then reinstalled it again nothing i am gonna either format my pc or install opengl warpper cos i got generally problems with dlls

[rozo100]

hey horoscopes i have that EXACT same problem for JA... and i cant figure out how to fix it.

[YourMomIsLuigi]

i installed the game, played it, uninstalled it, didnt make any changes except installing itunes 7 and halo, and when i reinstalled it and tried to play it, the open gl error came up
EDIT: by uninstalling, and reinstalling a bios and all my drivers several times, i finally got it to work

[DwardoBro]

How frustrating... it seems my new Sony Vaio C2s laptop, complete with 64-bit vista cant run JA due to a OpenGL file problem. Seems to be a ripe thing on the net if you search it in google... I've tried updating the graphics and display drivers in my device manager, and also installed directx 10.. but to no avail...

heres the error:

--- ambient sound initialization ---
Sound memory manager started
Loading dll file ui.
Failed to load dll, looking for qvm.
Loading vm file vm/ui.qvm.
Failed.
Shutting down OpenGL subsystem
VM_Create on UI failed

Anybody with any ideas?

[SwordWielder]

When i went to ati site, they did not have an update for my kind of driver

[Tx606]

Which videocard do you have?
Take a look here too:

[SwordWielder]

i have a ATI Mobility Radeon X1400.........on my laptop

[Gonji77]

Same here. Also are you on Vista? Because my laptop has that particular videocard. So are we able to play this even if we have the right drivers installed?

[Gonji77]

I figured out how to get it working. SwordWielder If you're laptop is from Dell go the webiste and download the driver for it. If it's from a different company then do the same except go that company's site and get the driver. Install driver, restart, install Jedi Knight, and should work.

However one problem may occur. Whenever i turn on my laptop, about 2 minutes later my whole screen turns bright. not like you can turn the brightness on a laptop but like every "light" color gets magnified; like white. It gets really bright that sometimes it's hard to look at the screen. However if i open Jedi Knight the magnified brightness goes away.

[DeadYorick]

Alright I have a quite major problem

So I used to play Jedi Outcast on my crappy computer years ago (this was back when my computer had windows 98 still on it). So then I got XP and this Open GL problem slapped me in the face. So I downloaded a driver update and it worked perfectly on XP.

Now I had to delete my hard drive and reinstall XP because of a fatal virus on my crappy computer. So I decided to play Jedi Outcast again. Once again an Open GL problem slapped me in the face. So I naturally tried to update it again, but wouldn't you know it. I got an error message when I tried to update the driver.

"The NVIDIA Setup program could not locate any drivers that are compatable with your current hardware. Setup will now exit"

Apparently Nvidia.com is lying to me. Giving me driver updates that don't work. So I tried another update for it on another site, this worked fine. But I got the Open GL error message AGAIN. After I supposedly updated my drivers. So I tried GL Direct. Well it bypassed the Open GL problem. But the game acted so laggy I couldn't even get past the first video without it constantly freezing. So obviously my computer REALLY doesn't want to play Jedi Outcast even though I KNOW it can.

My graphics card is a NVIDIA RIVA TNT2 Model 64/Model 64 Pro. I hope someone can help fix my problem

same problem here

[bane's fist]

[DarthPlagueis]

Its funny I have an Intel 865g chipset and I can run everything from Empire at War to Far Cry to Dawn of War(Warhammer 40k) but I cant run jedi outcast or jedi academy I keep getting this error message what can I do short of buying a new card money is kinda tight
