Jedi Academy

[Glaucus]

The game Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy is one of my personal favorites. Fantastic saber combat system + star wars characters and vehicles makes for an awesome FPS. I HIGHLY recommend it if you are a nerd like me and love star wars, or are in the mood for an amazing sword-fighting game. The online play is what makes it amazing, dueling with other people is simply fantastic. I think it is only like 10 bucks or something nowadays too. Anyway, back to my problem: I played it on this same computer a year ago, but when I tried to play it today it didn't work. The only changes I've made to my computer since then is to upgrade from a crap Intel video card to a Radeon 9200 and to go from 512 RAM to a gig. On the consule thing this comes up after a sort of CTD:

GLW_StartOpenGL() - could not load OpenGL subsystem

any help is much appreciated

..seems like a driver breakdown..clean reinstall would help, me thinks..

Edit: Oh and by the way, don't forget about patching your game if it has one. Games' incompatilibty issues with high-end graphics cards are generally solved through such patches.

Downloaded the patch, nothing.

Updated my drivers... INSTANT SUCCESS

thank you so much, it literally made my day.

Apologies for cross quoting but:

a Radeon 9200...high-end graphics card

Huh??? a 9200 was maybe a high end in 1999 (when it was called an 8500 & before the 9700 came out) but not for years.
Happy to hear that new drivers fixed the issue mind :)

I never said it was high end lol. But it plays call of duty 2 and everything lower so if the price is right...
