I've installed a Geforce 2 GTS video card in my Athlon 650mhz rig. I want to switch from D3d GPL to OpenGL GPL but even though the options show all resolutions available, it only works correctly with the 640x400. All the others look liked they're windowed in the upper left corner. Any ideas? Btw, D3d was able to run correctly at all resolutions. -- Wayne M.

Did you get everything in the core.ini? here is a copy of my core.ini: [ Int Profile Values ] value0 = OpenGL:TossHighestMip:0 ; do not change value1 = OpenGL:MipFiltering:0 ; do not change value2 = OpenGL:MirrorsEvery:0 ; do not change value3 = Direct3D7:D3DDevice:0 value4 = Direct3D7:TossHighestMip:0 value5 = Direct3D7:TrilinearFiltering:0 value6 = Direct3D7:DoubleMirrorResWidth:0 value7 = Direct3D7:DoubleMirrorResHeight:0 value8 = Direct3D7:DirectMirrorRendering:0 value9 = Direct3D7:DisableZBuffer:0 [ Direct3D7 ] D3DDevice = 0 TossHighestMip = 0 TrilinearFiltering = 1 DoubleMirrorResWidth = 1 DoubleMirrorResHeight = 1 DirectMirrorRendering = 1 DisableZBuffer = 0 [ OpenGL ] TossHighestMip = 0 ; MipFiltering = 4 ; MirrorsEvery = 1 ; ; core.ini - reduces bandwidth on client side and server side. ; ; To use, place this file in the GPL installation folder.

There is absolutely no reason to use OpenGL over D3D with a GF2 card. The frame rate is much lower, it's uglier and the max screen resolution is lower. It's alos very fussy about drivers. I think you have to copy the OpenGL file form the v3.68 detonator set to the GPL dircetory to have any hope of it working. definitely not worth the hassle. Trust me.
