whenever i try to play a game i get this:

"needed extension: GL_ARB_texture_env_combine not found"

what shoud i do? reinstall?

[SwiftSpear]

Reinstall HL2. Your combine models are corrupt.

[k994]

I re-installed tas. and it didnt work. whats HL2?

[Masse]

he musta played half-life 2 too much

[k994]

OH! half life two. with the combine being the soldiers. you tricked me. hahaha


seriously though how do i fix it??!!??!!??

[Gnomre]

Alright... so I'm not that great at gmod

Anyway, try disabling effects such as 3D trees, shadows, and reflections until it works. If it doesn't work even after everything is turned down, your vid card probably sucks too much. Which one do you have?

[FizWizz]

[Gnomre]

Heh, I was just being a smartass on IRC last night to someone who wanted to get directory listings of my images dir, and I guess I forgot to remove it afterwards. Sorry

[k994]

no it isnt my vid card: nvidia 7800. I figured it out though. So thanks anyways guys

[k994]

scratch that. It still isnt working and i tried everything you guys said. But i dont know how to "update my drivers". The reason i know it isnt my video card is because i have been playing TAS on this video card for a while and then just recently it started giving me this problem. I am really ticked right now.....how do i fix this?

[DeathHawk]

ok this is what you do.

1) go to http://www.nvidia.com

2) download the latest drivers that sopport your Vidio card

3) Uninstall your current vidio drivers then your machine may need to reboot.

4) After that is done install your new Drivers you downloaded from Nvidia your machine may need to reboot again.

5)after all steps are followed your Done

I sometimes get similar looking errors if other programs are running often its Opera or a modelling program. So I suggest shuting everything off that you don't need and see if that fixes it.

[k994]

neither of those ideas worked. Thanks anyways though. GAHH! this is making me sooooo mad. i WANT to play tas. someone PLZZZZ help me!!!

if updating your graphics drivers doesn't fix the problem, your graphics card probably isn't good enough to play spring.

I had the same issue with my geforce mx400 until I updated the drivers. after that it was fine.

I'd be willing to bet that my graphics card is the absolute lowest card that can run Spring (albeit with all the settings at minimum, but it can run <_<)
