Hey guys, i'm looking for help for quite some time now and found no conclusive answers, so i'll ask you for help.
I have 2PCs that (should) be capable of running Wz2100. One is equipped with a Radeon X1300Pro (old and shitty, i know). This one is ok now, as it can run 3.1.
The other is a Pentium Dual Core E-5400 2.7GHZ 3GBDDR2 Ram over a G31 Intel Chipset Motherboard. So the VGA is a GMA 3100.
System is 32bit WinxP SP3
VGA/Chipset Drivers are current (6.14.10.5218 (1-13-2010))
Intel states that this garbage (GMA) is OpenGl 1.4+
http://www.intel.com/support/pt/mt/mt_win.htm
Fact is that Geeks3D GPU Caps Viewer shows me that current OpenGl is 1.1, and so warzone fails to run.
Anyone know what i can do (besides buying a discrete VGA)? I want to play Lan... =/
This link also shows 1.4+ support

Thanks in advance.

Depending on what country you live in and how cheap a good agp/pcie? card is your best bet is to find a $30 card. You may even be able to find one cheaper than that, depends on where you shop online (or find a good sale at a local store).
Or maybe someone here can create a config file with the lowest possible video settings (maybe that will work).
The only other option is what I mentioned in my DX thread but some are still iffy about it (no one has an intel card to test it)
viewtopic.php?f=32&t=9452 If you do try my suggestion in that thread please tell us everything. Its not sanctioned by the WZ devs so its up to you.

It can support what intel says, you just need to use the latest video drivers, and then the caps viewer should report what intel says.

Try this just set up automaticaly install drivers for your video card and chip set after install restart your system and then try to run warzone 2100

And one more think you need to set up you video to maximum perfomance and etc.

First of all, thanks for your time.
My Vga/chipset driver is the latest one (the same as my older post), as can be seen here:
http://img207.imageshack.us/img207/1729 ... telweb.jpg
Maybe WinXp drivers aren't the same as WinVista/Win7... (where it could be 1.4+)
That's intriguing...
Guess i'll end buying a sub $100,00 card (US prices, not Brazil ones)(mostly like a 1GB HD6670 gddr5, since it doesn't require a power conector).
I could also try (just for test purposes) using a windows vista copy that i have remaining or using ubuntu-10-04LTS (the only linux that i'm capable of using without a headache ;D)
If anyone have another idea, fell free to post it.. othewise i'll throw in the towel and buy a discrete VGA.
Thanks again.

I do know that all people with that intel chipset using a good linux distro, and with the appropriate (latest) mesa drivers installed, it should work well.
On the same kind of issues, It is too bad that Mac users with older than the latest version of the OS get dropped for video driver support. Apple wants you to upgrade to get support, and in this case, if you don't want to pay Apple more $$$, then the advice is the same, get a linux distro, and you will see you can still play Warzone.

No open source driver support on mac?

Video drivers on the mac are written and maintained by apple as part of the
core os, so the best way to be sure you have the latest drivers is to keep the os up to date.

Great improvement. But strangely, after loading from savegame, voice notifications are gone. I don't even know when my factory is attacked, or when a vtol drop a thermite bomb over my cc, and when I know it is already too late.

First of all drivers for xp and for win 7 vista are not the same this is fact , but if you still have the problem try to remove drivers as an administrator i will show you how you can do it :
Ok first aff all:
! start\programms\accesories\cmd RMB- run as an administrator then in CMD type - NET USER ADMINISTRATOR /ACTIVE:YES
! after you do that log off and log in as an administartor and from control panel uninnstal all you video drivers and remove it from all paths in program data, program files, temp, local sittings, everywhere and where you can find it. Reboot your system after try to use CCleaner or different program to remove keys in regedit or do it by your self. And after try to install lattest drivers but before log off again and log in as an user and then install them, in cmd type NET USER ADMINISTRATOR /ACTIVE:NO to get back to normal try it .

Great beta, thanks guys.
My only disappointment though, was that I played a game all through the tech tree, and was very disappointed to find that
these had not been implemented.
