jwj442 Posted March 4, 2003 Report Share Posted March 4, 2003 I download xenocide, and whenever I try to run it the program displays a DOS screen for a few seconds, then exits to the desktop. I have win2k, 256 megs RAM, and a SiS 300/305 32 MB video card. Can anyone help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red knight Posted March 4, 2003 Report Share Posted March 4, 2003 Check in the txts that the program generate, but i bet that Sis Video Cards do not have the required OpenGL Extensions... The next time use the feedback form, and someone will contact you if your question is not in the FAQ.... Greetings Red Knight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwj442 Posted March 5, 2003 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2003 In my engine report file, it says a lot of stuff about OpenGL extensions. So do I need another video card, or is there anything else I can try? Also, where is the FAQ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About the card, yes that card is very outdated for today standards (let alone when we release the game in aprox 2 years).

[[Micah]] Posted March 7, 2003 Report Share Posted March 7, 2003 I sent a reply to you a couple of days ago, jwj, letting you know that i did some research on your video card (which I had never heard of) and determined that it is indeed outdated and does not support the opengl extensions the program needs to run. As the minimum system requirements on the download pages tells you, the minumum acceptable video card is a Geforce2 32mb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwj442 Posted March 7, 2003 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2003 Well, I figured it meant Geoforce 32meg or equivalent, I didn't realize that it actually had to be a Geforce. But luckily, my dad is a computer repairman and the other day he got a Geforce3 64meg for a really low cost from a customer, and gave it to me. So now I can run it after all.

Guest Jim69 Posted May 11, 2003 Report Share Posted May 11, 2003 It's not just that the card is outdated, I have a recent SIS video card 64mbs, it just that they STILL don't support OpenGL, and in fact don't seem to support much. Basically they are a cheap way of selling motherboards for a more ridiculous price as this and an sound card are embedded in SIS motherboards.
