OpenGL no workie Created 16 years ago2008-01-27 13:57:37 UTC by Captain Terror

ok, pretty cool.

today I tried to load half-life and I get this little message:I tried updating my gfx drivers, but no change. I haven't changed any video options and I've never had this problem. the only thing I did steam related close to the time when it happened was I tried to download the SDK without having HL2 installed (i didn't know it wouldn't work without it, but it makes sense).

Was there a steam update recently? If I can't get it to work Direct3D works, but the general consensus is that OpenGL is better for HL so I'd like to get it working again.

Thanks for reading! = )

Did you recently download and instal the mod Paranoia?

Fuck yeah i just did LOL!!!

edit: i'm at the paranoia site but can't find fixes only explanations. If you mean to tell me i just spent 2 hours of my life that i'll never get back trying to update my video drivers, searching the error, and trying different things, then I'm so pissed...

Do you know how to fix?

edit: K. Deleting "opengl32.dll" fixes the problem, and Paranoia still works, just the advanced effects will not work.

Thanks Mr. Madcow! = )

You were to quick answereing your own question, I didn't have a chance D:

No problem anyways :>

Run the game using the !Launch.bat file in the Paranoia directory.

You don't understand. It disabled OpenGL on my system for EVERY game. (which is weird since it's ONLY supposed to be compatible with OpenGL and not the other way around)

But if you're saying that using !Launch.bat to run Paranoia would fix that and make OpenGL work for all may games again, then thanks.

Could be because the new effects utilize shaders and stuff that your graphics might not support. If your graphics card is ooold, that's probably the case.
