[christof81]

Hi there, seems a lot people having problems with grafic cards, i have those on my PC, 93.81 nvidia driver version, S.O. XP, AMD 4400+ dual core 64. i dont have problems with any games actualy but with this one (including C&C 3, i just play at maximun resolution and works without any proble), any one can help?

[noah3d]

Can you please describe what is exactly the problem?

Cannot obtain procedure: wglGetExtensionsStringARB"
"Render failed to create because:
OpenGL extension is not supported: GL_ARB_texture_compression
OpenGL extension is not supported: GL_ARB_vertex_buffer_object
OpenGL extension is not supported: GL_ARB_texture_cube_map
OpenGL extension is not supported: GL_ARB_vertex_program"

"Cannot create renderer"

"cannot initialize game"

something like that just when i try to launch the game

[noah3d]

The message "cannot obtain procedure:wglGetExtensionsStringARB" probably means that you enabled 'extension limit' in your video driver settings. You need to set the 'extension limit' option to off.
To set 'extension limit' option to off go to the nvidia control panel, select 3d settings and then find 'extension limit' option and turn it off.

1º: The requested full screen mode is not supported by your video card. Use windowed mode instead? Yes/No

Cannot obtain procedure: wglGetExtensionsStringARB

WARNING: your graphics card is not on the list of supported video hardware! if you choose to continue the game might not work properly. Are you sure you want to continue? Yes/No.

1º: The requested full screen mode is not supported by your video card. Use windowed mode instead? Yes/No

This message is shown because game cannot open full screen window in default resolution (1280x1024). You can change this manually. Locate "Cruciform.cfg" file in game's data folder. Open file in some text editor (notepad?) change line "width 1280" with "width 1024" and then change "height 1024" with "height 768". Save file and then try to run game.

If this doesn't help check your desktop resolution and if your desktop is in 16bit resolution change it to 32bit and then try to run the game.

This is very strange. It seems that your drivers are not installed properly. This message is shown if game cannot recognize GPU manufacturer and yours is NVidia. Strange ...

Genesis Rising is OpenGL game and other games you tried are probably not.

When you installed newest drivers did you uninstall previous version? If not you can try to remove/uninstall all display drivers installed on your system and then install e.g. 93.71 driver (last retail driver from NVidia). It is advised by NVidia to always uninstall previous version before installing the new version.

Also if you have installed some of the tweaking utilities you can reset their options to default and then try running the game.

[christof81]

yup, i uninstall those drivers manualy each time i change version on them, actualy i´m working with 93.81 ones, works ok on the other aplications.

ill try to edit that file *.cfg when arrive at home.

Its 32 Bit resolution but my monitor is panoramic so the usual resolution is 1366 x 768 ill try to change it, but again, that config works on the other games.

Yup the others i have aren´t, the only one is very old, the first part of Half life, but this one works. at least the launch and beggining of the game.

the problem was on that archive, cruciform.cfg i really apreciate your help noah, you rock man.

Note to developer team: I suggest you on the next patch for this game, implement a simple lauch program like almost all games have to configure those setings like Resolution, Anti Aliasing or V-Sync, a lot years of videogames developement to find this kind of solutions.... :rolleyes:

I have tried changing the width and height as suggested but when I try to save I just get the message "Cannot create the C:\Program Files\DreamCatcher\GenesisRising\data\Cruciform.cf g file. Make Sure that the path and file name are correct."

I have already checked my desktop resolution and it is set at 32bit already, do you have any other suggestions on what to do or how to fix this?

In regards to this I managed to get a way around the message that was comeing up, the game worked fine, but when I came back to play it I got the same old "The Requested Full Screen Mode Is Not Supported By Your Video Card. Use Windowed Mode Instead? Yes/No" I checked the Crucifrom.cfg file and nothing had changed from before, it was all still the same, any reason it would do this? and any way i can get this game working?
