Graphics Problem

[Squidden]

I need help on this.

First of all, I can only play it in window mode for some reason because fullscreen crashes. That doesn't mean that every time I play on window mode it works, it just means that I have no hope if it's not on window mode.

Second of all, it always fucks up when I try to use OpenGL in fullscreen, and then says something about not being able to use OpenGL. After that, it switches to Software mode. When I try with that, it crashes and says it can only work with OpenGL. I tried this same thing with D3D, and it still didn't work.

Also, about 99% of the time when I actually GET IT TO WORK somehow, it hogs all of the RAM (500,000 KB's)and crashes. No other mods have ever had this problem.

Please help,

Squidden

First of all what hardware and operating system are you running?

MSC only works in OpenGL mode, so don't bother trying with the D3D or Software modes.

Crow had an issue similar to this (HL telling him his card didn't support OpenGL) - I think his card was an nVidia 9600 series. Near as I can tell, the issue simply resolved itself after he removed and updated his graphic drivers a few times and put an end to the billion resident programs he had running. :\

You can run down everything he tried here:

Steam article on how to "force" OpenGL mode, that may or may not be useful, yonder:
