OpenGL problem running GtkRadiant

Post by **Ryodox** » Thu Jun 21, 2007 10:19 pm

Original thread: http://quake3world.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=31803

The relevant error messages can be found there. Since this is more of a software issue than a level editing issue, I thought it might be appropriate to post this here. Summary: Some versions of GtkRadiant crash immediately when I load from a GL error, and others don't render textures.

System info from dxdiag:

I've tried:

Running in Windows XP compatibility mode
Disabling desktop composition as recommended on the QERadiant.com website
Using the latest GtkRadiant 1.5.0 nightly, which is supposedly Windows Vista compatible
Uninstalling Radiant, cleaning the registry and files completely, and reinstalling
Installing Radiant outside of Program Files
Re-installing my graphics drivers (which are the latest version)

Any ideas?

It sounds like something was changed in the radiant driver code in the recent versions that probably conflicts with your older card (and probably more rare these days anyone using radiant with such a card). Considering the radiant dev. team is quite small nowadays it wouldn't suprise me if extensive testing on that card had not been performed.

Your best bet is to probably revert back to the last version that works ok

Well, that's the problem; no version of GtkRadiant that I've tried yet has worked. Gtk 1.1.1 and 1.3.7 don't give me critical errors like the others do, but the textures simply won't show up. I'll try other versions; can you point me to a place where I could find older versions of Radiant (since the id site is down)?

GtkRadiant 1.1.1 is the oldest version that I'm aware of, unfortunately.

I don't have Vista or that chipset, so I'm at a loss for solutions. If it's a chipset issue, even dual booting with XP or Linux won't be likely to fix things.

What about qeradiant?

Post by **Ryodox** » Fri Jun 22, 2007 3:31 pm

Tried Q3Radiant 202, and QERadiant 135, and both give me the following error in a dialog:

wglShareLists in WXY_WndProc failed
GetLastError() = -1073278755 - 0
An unrecoverable error has occured. Would you like to edit Preferences before exiting QERadiant (Q3Radiant)?

This is absurd; only two versions are able to load without crashing: 1.1.1 and 1.3.7. Would you say that a new graphics card is the only way around this? ._.
