I can verify that the error message for the missing OpenGL drivers is working correctly.

I imaged a computer for testing an old video card (FX5200) under XP and noticed it had the basic Microsoft Drivers installed. I downloaded the drivers but was in the middle of Windows Updates so didn't install them. I intended to come back to that install shortly, but kept getting updates.

I got busy with other updates and other tech issues here at work so kept leaving the computer running.

This morning I finally got a chance to install the Launcher and the game (stopped the game install after a few minutes and copied over files from main computer at home to reduce the download time), let the game patch and launched it.

I got the error message clearly telling me that the drivers installed didn't support OpenGL and that I needed to update my drivers.

Working as it should be.

Nicely done. It will really help with letting players know what the problem with the driver is.


If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.

Black Pebble is my new hero.

I am not happy about loosing all the stuff I payed for, the rumours are flying about defiant and all the eu servers are going to be non vip players only. Thats no good for me. I played on freedumb for a week before and during the big event and nobody wanted to talk to me or team with me exept for a guy who only talked about his characters feet..
Defiant has a great enviroment for serious gamers and trying to force us to spread out to the American servers would be a big detriment to us. The server had also had a lot more players lately and with the big knowledge base among the veteran defiants I saw only good things ahead. Amongst other things the defiant server handled the invasion event much more handedly than than the freedom server. I honestly dont really see much joy in leaving defiant behind. So far this is just rumours off course but I seen a certain.. bias towards the American servers and especially the freedom server, so I would not be suprised if you suddenly decided to downgrade the Euro servers. Hopefully you will fix this problem soon.

The rumours are just that. Rumours. They'd not be stupid enough to do that.

I hadn't even heard these rumours. Shows how much I know


Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

I think that's probably the stupidest rumour I've heard in 6yrs of playing this game...

Someone dig up P.T. Barnum (or whoever coined that phrase)...

You must have missed the one about them wiping the database so everyone could start fresh.


'I don't like the look of it at all,' said the King: 'however, it may kiss my hand if it likes.'
'I'd rather not,' the Cat remarked.
'Don't be impertinent,' said the King, 'and don't look at me like that!' He got behind Alice as he spoke.
'A cat may look at a king,' said Alice.

I just read that one on the forums. When I log in I'll tell everyone that I read about it here.

What's wrong with Masterminds?


Loose --> not tight.
Lose --> Did not win, misplace, cannot find, subtract.
One extra 'o' makes a big difference.

Sumpremecy level shift not working, random 'lockup' of pets, sidekick confirmation window pet level drop (making the whole 'bring them along if you zone' utterly useless), that apart from the individual set issues.
