Buy a decent laptop ?

The laptop makers don't want to spend a extra $10 on a much better gfx chipset. :(

my laptop is 7 years old, sorry. Also anyone know how to uninstall a driver, when i used the previous instructions, the driver went back to default 2001 model from the 2003. I just noticed this actually, all because textures don't show up in 2.3.6 anymore. So it was obvious it was downgraded instead of upgraded. :shock:

What do you mean screwed up ? Where is it screwed up ?
If you tried new drivers, then uninstall them, <reboot>, install the old drivers again, <reboot>, then all should be back to normal.

Use this.

ONLY do the display drivers-- AFTER you uninstall them and enter safe mode.

That usually means that your drivers didn't install/uninstall correctly the first time.
and it ends here.

About old graphics card ... (Special test :lecture: )

Today I tried to run "beta4" to "NVIDIA VANTA LT". (Year-1999 :P . core overclocked to 100MHz, 8MB RAM, Support DX6 and Ogl 1.1)
Everything works, but of course very slow (~ 2.5 fps). Cpu usage 100% .

:idea: A note in the log:

Code: Select all

--- Starting log ---
info    |09:51:06: [screenInitialise] OpenGL 2.0 is not supported by your system, using fixed pipeline.
Officially supports only OGL 1.1 (info)
After installing the ForceWare 56.72 - supports OpenGL up to 1.5

No.

This driver (ForceWare) only for NVIDIA video cards. You need ATI driver. I already gave the link. Try to reinstall it.

Here config.ini (Unzip it in "% USERPROFILE% \ My Documents \ Warzone 2100 3.0 \":)

YIPPEE!!!! THE SCREEN TURNED BLACK! THIS IS PROGRESS IT FINALLY SHOWS THE GAME TRYING TO RUN. Unfortunately, the game still cant run. Although for once out of all this time trying, progress XD. Perhaps further screwing with the config file will help :hmm: Can you tell me how you did it or show me a tutorial.
