  5. Open GL Problem

    in TDM Tech Support

    Posted · Edited by PatLess

    You're welcome.

     

    I hope your new card works out.

     

    (An OS reinstall was really the only other option short of changing hardware.)

     

     

    yeah i tought about that too reinstalling XP

    but all the backup i would need to do , pictures, musics, emails adress books , favorites

    if the card change doesn't solve it i'll do that but i don't have the courage right now smile.gif

     

    the guy advised me to re install winxp before anything else because there was no reason for my card not to work properly

     

    see you later !

    Ok

     

    I updated the Motherboard BIOS sucessufully and install the original drivers for the graphic card but still no success

     

    A few months ago my Asus PCIE GF7 EN7600GT died and it was still on warranty so they gave me another one

    to make a long story short the idiot who owned the shop at the time (he went bankrupt a while after )

    gave me a EVGA 9800GT saying it was a better one for my trouble and since then imy wolfenstein ,Call of duty and call of duty 2 stopped working

    those were working a similar way to doom 3 with a console at the start

    So my guess is that i should get a ASUS again to match my ASUS P5W DH motherboard ...

    will do this this afternoon !

     

    I wanna thank you all for your advices and tricks

     

    i keep you posted when i change the card !

    I would look at an ATI 5850 or 5870 as they should have reasonably stable drivers and great price for performance.

     

    The new ATI 69xx and 68xx series still have driver toothing issues so you might end-up in the same situation if you pick one up.

     

    Really even older cards as far back as an X1600 (or older) series can run this mod, most of the limitation is on the CPU side (where you have reasonable strength). The new HDR-lite mode might be a little heavy on a mid-range cards for some missions so HD3650 or better might be advisable.

     

    Approx: $50 ATI 4650 1GB

    should I update the BIOS in safeboot mode ?

    I hate to bring this idea up again, but that Motherboard was made right during the lawsuit war between Intel and Nvidia.

     

    When nForce motherboards were pulling this crap for ATI cards they eventually relented and released BIOS updates that fixed most of those problems.

     

    Now that the spat is mostly settled, ASUS may have a better Intel BIOS that is more Nvidia friendly.

     

    So... a BIOS update?

     

    Before checking that, you could also just try getting the latest ASUS chipset drivers (instead of Intel's version) which may be fixed compatibility with Nvidia cards as well...

     

    Or you could get a ATI/AMD card as that is what your motherboard was designed to work with...

     

    well i'm trying the inf thing in the device manager first but i may consider changing the card what would you suggest ?

    Errr, this driver clearly doesnt want to install correctly - Do other games work correctly? Do DirectX games run? Other OpenGL stuff?

     

    Can you try installing the driver directly from the INF files using Device Manager?

     

     

    i dont know much about Gl things

    i play call of duty modern warfare , rfactor, thief 2

    earlier this year my NVidia 7600 broke and i had this 9800GT as i warranty replacement since then i couldn't play the call of duty, wolfenstein due to similar errors ...

    will try to install driver from inf file

    Sounds like the Motherboard might have onboard ATI graphics?

     

    If your monitor cable connected directly to the Video Card instead of a port built into the Motherboard?

     

    Yes, the original drivers might have the correct INF data if the generic nVidia drivers don't... That is a valid option.

     

     

    well it has ATI cross fire multi gpu feature but i only have one card installed

    Windows has a habit of leaving processes alive after their Service has been shut-down so anything's possible... You might see an SDbot or TeaTimer process in Task Manager that you can kill... unsure.gif

     

    Edit:

     

    Oh I see a problem. If you have Spybot set to auto-start with Windows any changes you make to protected areas in Safemode will be regressed by Spybot when Windows starts in Normal mode. It may be best to temporarily uninstall Spybot if you can't disable the file/registry/directory change protections...

     

    i uninstalled spybot

    it still doesn't work i really don't know what to try next ... i always get the same errors

    yes there are process you can kill but not in safe mode , so i guess its not running in safe mode

    but i killed it in normal boot to re-install the driver or should i install the drivers in safe mode too ?

     

     

    i've been a fan of thief since the dark project i really wanna play this ...

    i don't even care for doom

    Make sure Spybot's "Tea Timer" is not protecting either the Windows\System32 directory or the opengl32.dll. I believe a vendor version replaces this one.

     

    Try placing NVOGLNT.DLL in your Doom 3 install directory as a workaround.

     

     

    i will try that file in the main directory

     

    When i use driver sweeper in safe mode the Spybot isn't running could it be still active even if i don't see the process ?

    Can you copy more of your console error?

     

    Also, is the screen you are trying to play from designated as your Primary display?

     

    (I would try the 195 WHQL version tried in this thread if you haven't already.)

     

    Finally, this may sound strange but some Spyware has been know to hook into the Device Manager registry keys (the symptom is usually a blank white page when opening the Device Manager), you could try running Super Antispyware or some other anti malware then running the driver cleaner then reinstalling the drivers.

     

    If it were my system, I would also download the latest BIOS from ASUS in case the card isn't being properly detected but upgrading your BIOS is risky so I will let you make that call.

     

    here you go

    Doom 3 itself won't start?

     

    I would make sure that nothing is in the "Doom 3\Base" directory other than the files that come with the application.

     

    I would also make sure that the "Threaded Optimizations" setting is set to "disabled" (might be invoking the wrong thread to initialize the OpenGL ICD).

     

    (Re-installing your Motherboard Chipset drivers can also knock loose Enum registry keys tied to old driver revisions so you could also try that after Rebb's driver cleaner recommendation for extra measure...)

     

     

    i did n't put annything in the doom 3/ base directory and I already set the threaded thing to off as you suggested to someone else but still it doesn't work

    Are you doing "clean" uninstalls of the previous drivers before installing a new one ?

     

    Recommended routine :

     

    1) Check the guru3D Forums for threads about most recent drivers, try to find the recent one with the highest "no problems, good driver"-type replies ratio

    2) Download that driver

    3) Download and install Driver Sweeper if its not installed already ( http://www.guru3d.co.../driversweeper/ )

    4) Uninstall current Driver

    5) Boot into Safe Mode and use Driver Sweeper as mentioned on the Driver Sweeper Link

    6) Reboot normally and install new Driver

     

    Maybe it helps.

     

    yes i have driver sweeper and used it , i will try and look for new drivers

     

    this is frustrating i really wanna play this !!!

    Did you follow these steps for the Steam specific launcher?

     

    http://modetwo.net/d...on_of_Doom_3.3F

     

    If not, you should still be able to launch The Dark Mod from within the "Mods" sub-menu after launching the game.

     

    Another thing to check is whether you have the latest motherboard Chipset drivers.

     

     

    Just for verification please post the results of these steps:

     

    Open Doom 3 and hit Ctrl+Alt+~ (tilde, ^ on German keyboards) to open the console. You'll see the version printed in the lower left corner of the console. It should read 1.3.1.1304. If your version is ending on 1302, you've got the wrong patch installed.

     

     

    i will do those steps right now but the doom game crashes before starting so i can't access the console
