Use opengl mode for ur video mode

Ne0

opengl not supported by my card

Killa

well then I guess we bolth have the same problem with that

Ne0

=(

Ne0

as i read old topics it seems many people have had this problem...but i cant find a solution =(

Killa

you can get a video card that supports it lol

Ne0

ya that would be nice...if only i had that kind of money

Killa

well im leaving have fun figuring that out (hint: just bind keys to morph into the different levels. That what I did and as for building well I cant build so im never a gorge. Marines all you mostly need that for is to boot out the commander. Thats all I use it for

Ne0

well i would just do that but i would still have pink boxes around everything..i dont like pink very much

NOW I CANT EVEN JOIN A GAME!!! when i try to join it says that it cant get WON authentication

i have a 6 year old ATI card, it supports it.

you can get something similar for less than 20 dollars

Ne0

what fps u get with that?

Wolf

Horrible FPS, but I can at least play

for 20 bucks you can get a card twice as fast as mine, though.

if you have an Nvidia gf2, it DOES support opengl. If you haven't yet, go and download the latest drivers for your card at nvidia.com and try it again.

<i>Edit: I forgot to say that software mode isn't supported at all. I used to use a geforce2 mx with counterstrike in opengl mode and get good framerates. If your sound screws up in direct3d mode, maybe you dont have the newest directx drivers. Get 8.1 if you dont already have it at microsoft.com/directx</i>

FireStorm

GF2 SUPPORTS OPENGL

I had the SAME problem, I reinstalled Windows, i installed Detonator 40 and it works (100 fps in opengl)

That means for me that you have a copied version of Half-Life and same cd-key as your pal has, and now HE's playing. There can't be 2 cd-keys online at the same time. Correct me if Im wrong on this one. OR have you given your copy of cd-key to someone perhaps? OR in extremely rare situations, WON is down. That is, NO ONE plays. I love the god-like hardness of getting to play online in HL <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

Er.. if it's unclear this post was meant to say: Your cd-key is in use.

Ne0
