Hey guys!!

I am not sure about wolfestine but for those having trouble with
Star Wars Jedi Academy can download a free software called GLDirect.

Just install it and play.

When I first installed it I got a very bad graphics and
sound.(With no text)

But after changing some settings of the software which were very
simple, the game ran like a dream.

I dont remember what setting I did, but I think I selected hardware
in the main menu of GLDirect instead of software and clicked ok.

I think the software will work perfectly for :-

Star Wars Jedi Academy 1.0
Soldiers Of Fortune
Quake
And other games based on quake engine.

I think the cause of the error was one of the following :-

(a) Windows XP [SP3]
(b) Windows XP [SP3] or other, recovered from a virus
(c) Some anti-virus reistry problem [ (b) ]
(d) Or other registry problem

I have :-
Intel Pentium 4 Processor
256mb RAM
64mb A very bad Intel Grapics Card

Don't know how, but the grapics & FPS of the game were increased
a bit.

To download GLDirect use the following link :-

http://majorgeeks.com/GLDirect_d381.html or simply search it
on google.

Now read the the following letter from SciTech :-

After spending approximately 5 hrs in this I'm really becoming
frustated.

I also downloaded a crack from Gamecopyworld for
Star Wars Jedi Academy 1.0

Try searching gruswjkacd on google for it.

I don't think that the crack would be needed but try it
if the originals doesn't work.

Hope this would help.

Its my first review or comment or watever, on the internet.
And sorry for the bad english (if there is) because I am

Please tell me if this helps you.

I will keep visiting this thread, so, please tell me if this
helps you.

Ok, what worked for me to fix this exact problem with Quake III arena:
The problem appears to be the game setting itself to a screen resolution that isn't supported. I didn't change my resolution, so I don't know how this became screwed up in my case.

1. In the game subdirectory, search for the config file, mine was the default named q3config.cfg in the baseq3 subdirectory.
2. You're going to edit this file with Wordpad (notepad will suck) so SAVE A COPY on your desktop. If you don't have wordpad, any decent text editor will do, if it saves in text format.
3. Open the config file with wordpad.
4. Search for the keyword "r_mode" (without the double quotes).
The line in my file was: seta r_mode "9"
5. Remove the line.
6. Search for the keyword "r_customheight " change the value to 480
7. Just below it, change the value for r_customwidth to 640
8. Save the edit.
Start up the game. It should start, but the screen resolution will be at 640x480. You can change it to whatever the game and your monitor/card setup supports.

Good luck!

1. Enable full hardware acceleration:
Control Panel > Display > Settings > Advanced > Troubleshoot, move slider to the right (Full)

2. Start > Run > type "dxdiag" and press Enter > Display
make sure DirectDraw and Direct3d are enabled (3 buttons)

3. Go to http://www.nvidia.com/object/winxp-2k_archive.html
Download OLDER drivers.
Riva TNT2 support was removed after version 71.xx. I used version 44.03 (44.03_win2kxp_international.exe) and it worked fine.
Save the 44.03_win2kxp_international.exe (or whatever you downloaded) file somewhere but DO NOT run it, it will bitch your hardware is not supported.

4. Install WinRar http://www.rarlab.com/

5. After installing WinRar, right click on the 44.03_win2kxp_international.exe (file you downloaded) and pick "Extract to 44.03_win2kxp_international\"
This will extract files to a folder without running the Setup right after extraction.

6. Control Panel > Display > Settings > Advanced > Adpater > Properties > Driver > Update Driver > "No, Not this time" > Next > "Install from a list or specific location (Advanced)" > Next > "Don't Search. I will choose driver to install" > Next > Have disk > [Type C: instead of "A:\"] > Browse > [Point it to the folder we extracted the drivers to with WinRar] > nv4_disp.inf

7. Windows will complain it is not a certified driver, pick "Continue". Wait for files to copy.

8. Press all "ok", "close" etc to close a bunch of windows you spawned.

9. Reboot when windows asks.

10. Enjoy your openGL-based game.

>> Re: "GLW_StartOpenGL() - could not load OpenGL subsystem"
I messed up my RTCW by playing around with the resolution. It was working well, but after I made an adjustment, it gave me the "GLW_StartOpenGL() - could not load OpenGL subsystem" error.

WELL I FIXED THE PROBLEM MENTIONED ABOVE!!!

I simply went into c:\programfiles\returntocastlewolfenstein\main\wolfconfig.cfg
There, I simply MOVED (instead of deleting) the "wolfconfig.cfg" file.

This file was messed up in some way. I then started the game, and I assume it made a brand new "config" file automatically. The game is running just fine.

I have a brand new Gateway with the Nvdia card everybody else is talking about. PLEASE, if this helps ANYBODY, please let me know. I sincerely hope I helped. This #*@(# problem has caused me great stress and has cost me about 3 to 4 hours of my time. I know what a pain it is to not be able to play your game! hehe










Hey , i ve try you re solution with moving, the "wolfconfig.cfg", today 6 years after your post........I try it in Windows 7....And it fixed the: "GLW_StartOpenGL() - could not load OpenGL subsystem" error.

You're great, and i hope my post will help to resolve some new problems today in Windows 7.
