GLW_StartOpenGL() - could not load OpenGL subsystem

I have uninstalled both the game and the drivers and yet the problem persists .ideally i want to be able to run the game in 1440 x 900
I have the game installed on another pc with a 7800gt and the game runs the higher screen resolutions fine on that pc.
Also atm even though i can run it at 1024 x 768 the game seems laggy at times ( graphical lag ) and also a bit blurry

I play the game myself and have heard of similar problems, people usually fix it by playing around with the settings in CCC, just try putting everything to default and take it from there, it's always ATI cards that have the problems.

It's a strange one as nobody I know knows exactly how to fix it, they just play around with settings and eventually it stops crashing :confused: I would be interested in the exact fix for it myself if anyone knows?

I've heard of the lag problems with newer cards and people usually solve that with entering 'com_maxfps 0' (without the quotes) in the console (turns max fps off), somebody said it was because newer cards are more powerful and are being held back, dunno but it should solve the in-game lag problems.

Re widescreen, I don't have widescreen myself but I know plenty people that run it fine in widescreen mode, there's even fixes available to adjust the hud and stuff to make it look right apparently.

Not a great deal of help I know, just a spot of reassurance that it will run perfectly eventually :)

Incidently the drivers I use are the 6.12s, no problems.

When you get it sorted look for the Freeze Tag servers, great fun!
