Spring RTS Engine

After reinstalling windows after a catastrophic crash I'm noticing that every time I try to run TA spring I get a GL_ARB_texture_env error

I'm running on an NVIDIA RIVA TNT2 card, and I have absolutely no idea what could be going wrong. Anyone have any ideas?

Update your nvidia drivers.

My OpenGL drivers are updated to 6.10.14.4523 which, as far as I've checked is the highest driver set. After changing from fullscreen to windowed mode I've found out that the actual error message is GL_ARB_texture_env_combine.

Any other pointers?

If the latest drivers don't do it, then you need a better card. Seriously, how old is the TNT2?

I looked around for you and I found a link to a similar questions, maybe it will help you.

But of course you could always update your video card like Deci has suggested. Either way, good luck.

This problem has been raised at least 5 seperate times. Can someone make a Sticky topic about the different solutions that have been suggested?

I have an Nvidia GeForce FX 5500 card win XP pro RUS, and i have a 2ghz processor and upgraded mem to about 768mb. I have tried 5 different drivers including the latest 1es from nvidias website (both english and rus), i have open gl 2 and i scanned it with GLinfo to make sure I had the stupid GL_ARB_texture_env_combine file, AND I DO, however when i try to launch a game, as host or not, (minimal settings, shadows off) IT SEZ I DON'T HAVE IT !!!!!
Anyone have any ideas? Thx in advance!

I dunno if any of you realize this, but you seem to be leaving out a very important part of the error message. The full error message is.
"Needed extension GL_ARB_texture_env_combine not found"
if the file cannot be found, then openGL or directX wont be able to use it, so drivers arent the problem. My cousin is literally running the same exact computer as i am 2.8ghz Athlon processor and a GeForce MX4000 processor, yet his computer gets this error and mine doesnt, all drivers are updated on both computers.

I had the exact same problem when I first tried Spring. I use an N-Vidia GeForce FX 5200 Ultra, and all I had to do was upgrade to the latest N-Vidia ForceWare drivers to solve the problem. I'm not sure if you need the same set as I did, and I cant remember the URL, but when I find it I will be sure to post ir here as an edit to this post.

Ive just now got this problem when updateing to the latest version of spring. Im running a 6800ultra, with the latest drivers from nvidia.com, havent a clue what could be the cause of this.

I found that due to a small bug in the error handling, it is also giving the no GL_ARB_texture_env_combine message if it simply can't setup the screen mode. I have an 6800 GS so it's quite close to yours.

For me it appeared when I tried making a fullscreen window across 2 1280x1024 monitors.
Try adjusting your screen resolution, colordepth, fullscreen/windowed settings... maybe that will work.

it was the resolution, never would have thought of that, thanks

YAY!
It was the screen resolution problem. Thank you very much!
BTW: why does 1600x1200 resolution give this error? lol
Tanks again!

I got the same message after I upgraded my PC. I had enough parts to keep my old PC almost as is. The new one's fine, but the old one that worked all the time before, now doesn't. I've tried the res thing and it's not changing the result. Driver update is equally ineffective, as is DirectX update. Lowest settings also useless. It baffles me because it just suddenly stopped working, and the only real difference is that I have different secondary hard drives now and I run it off the network. But installing a fresh copy locally is also useless, so it's not network or any of those other things. Any advice is welcome.

What graphic card.

Geforce 6600 GT 128meg
Plenty enough to play Spring on, (I know cause it used to play Spring with it.) Oh! My copy of Spring is the latest, and it worked on the latest, (74b3). I had no problems until now.

It does this on old versions of Spring as well.

Incase anyone brings it up, I've checked the Wiki and read and attempted what it's suggested. No effect.
