[lacks info] New Player... New Bug Maybe?
« on: 21 October 2012, 19:44:35 »
Hi. First off, thanks for taking the time to read this.
I really enjoy this game. It easily competes with the big money titles and in most cases out performs them without argument.
Anyways, this "bug" A couple of days ago, when I tried to play the  game, it wouldn't start up and gave me some message about the open Gl not being right. It did this the day after I changed the resolution. Now I don't have the latest greatest game machine (I have a thing for motorcycles) but it played the game even after the resolution changes really smooth and no problems. This thing just popped up out of the blue as far as I could tell. I searched the forums and found a similar issue that was dated a couple a years ago, but it wasn't quite the same problem. plus the solutions given were over the top I thought. Anyways I fixed this "bug" without any searching for mysterious drivers or using forceware. I went into the settings of the game and told it not to look for GL settings. I know all this sounds like a non-issue, and after the initial panic attacked the fix turned to be a minor issue. But since the game just randomly did this, I figured you might want to know about it. And if this has been posted before, please accept my apologies for droning on about a dead horse.
Also, this happened on the previous version, so I thought by installing the update, it would run right. I still did the Open GL hassle thing. I dug into the settings after the new install.
Again, this isn't anything major like causing a system failure or whatever, but it really did mess with my head when it happened.
Oh and this is really one hell of a game. Keep up the good work!

Thanks for the praise and your kind words.

I'm having trouble understanding what the issue is because you're not providing much information on the issue itself. You don't seem to have read http://bugs.megaglest.org since then you'd know which information we need (and ideally also how to provide it). Please do so and be back here.

Thanks.
