MSI Kombustor - OpenGL issues - Windows 8

[Jimbo Mahoney]

Does anyone else have problems running the OpenGL benchmarks / stress tests in MSI's Kombustor under Windows 8?

I'm beginning to think I have some kind of fundamental OpenGL / Windows 8 issue because neither Rage nor Kombustor can run OpenGL.

Kombustor gives the following errors:

"OpenGL 2 Window creation failed"
"OpenGL 3 Window creation failed"

whilst Rage gives the following:

------- Initializing renderSystem --------
Initializing OpenGL subsystem
...registered window class
...registered fake window class
Couldn't find proc address for: wglGetExtensionsStringARB
X..WGL_EXT_swap_control not found
Couldn't find proc address for: wglSwapIntervalEXT
X..WGL_EXT_swap_control_tear not found
Couldn't find proc address for: wglGetPixelFormatAttribivARB
Couldn't find proc address for: wglGetPixelFormatAttribfvARB
Couldn't find proc address for: wglChoosePixelFormatARB
----- GL_Init -----
Couldn't find proc address for: glGetStringi



I'm running an Nvidia 630m with the latest drivers from Nvidia's OpenGL page (326.98). I also tried the latest official (320.49) but no change.

Any ideas on what's going on?

If you think your having problems now once you get kombustor working it will melt your
Card! Terrible program

I can run it in D3D mode and I know what you mean.

However, the fact it throws OpenGL errors, as does Rage, makes me think the two are related. If I can solve MSI Kombustor, maybe I can get Rage working...
