GL_ARB_MultiTexture problem. :(

Cant even launch the game, and I get these errors.

"You card or driver doesn't support GL_ARB_multitexture"
"You card or driver doesn't support GL_ARB_texture_compression"

Also I've already tried updating my drivers, I actually ended up reverting them back to the one that came with the card so thats a no go unless an earlier driver would work. :x

You may want to post this up in the Tech Issues and Bugs forum - that's where the tech-heads hang out.

Mac - this is a known issue that some players encounter - either new players or players who've just upgraded some key piece of hardware.

Unfortunately, the "fix" seems to vary from machine to machine, so as suggested, go to the Tech Issues forums and Search "GL_ARB_Multitexture", and you'll find numerous posts with troubleshooting and correcting suggestions.

For ME, I had to update my *chipset* drivers - not video drivers, chipset drivers. Didn't even know they existed before encountering this error.

But again, your situtation may be different, so Search the Tech Issues forums for more help.

I used this link once before, but I forget why. I figured I would provide it again in case it is useful to anybody. lol
OpenGL Extensions Viewer

... I already know what the problem is:

I've tried the thing above before, but if it means playing perhaps I will try it again. I'm going to post how I am going to install it.

1. ATI uninstall software utility
2. Select remove all AMD/ATI stuff
3. Let that do it's thing....
4. Restart comp
5. Run the driver's setup from the AMD website.
6. Let that do its thing
7. restart comp
8. Profit?

The uninstaller does not remove the ATi software entries. If it's a borked or corrupted entry, run DRIVER SWEEPER after running the ATi installer: http://www.guru3d.com/category/driversweeper/

That does seem like a great idea. I will definatly try that out as soon as I get home. :x As of now I am out of town for a few days. I will bump this thread though once I try it out. I have a good feeling about that driver sweeper
