I just got Call of Duty for Christmas. I'm using a Voodoo3 2000D AGP video card. When I try to load the game, a message comes up saying "Can't load OpenGL. Make sure that you have the latest driver's for your video card from the manufacturer's website." Could someone please help me out. Will the game work with my card? Thanks.
Did you try MesaFx 0.51 ?
This is the only way to run the game on a V5.
Once tried, you will get anyway an error message.
So copy and paste the full error message here.
Hum, you need to know that the game starts in 32 bits so it will be necessary to change the config. file IF this is possible...
Advice: don't sell your Voodoo 3 (legendary card) but buy at least Radeon 9000 or FX5200 for about 40 eur which is really not much.
Here is what happens when I load the game...

Is it the message before or after MesaFx ?
Quote...using colorbits of 32
Voodoo3 can only do 16 bit[:o)]
You really need to change some cfg file for the game to run
I've got the MesaFx 0.51 downloaded, so now what should i do to use it, just extract glide3x into c:\windows\system and extract openGL32 into the game folder?
this is easy :
MesaFX 0.51x installation
Install procedure is simple and fast, it has these following steps:
Unzipping the archive named mesafx_0.51x.zip
Copying file named glide3x in Windows/System32 folder (MS Windows XP users)
Copying file named glide3x in Winnt/System32 folder (MS Windows 2000 users)
Copying file named glide3x in Windows/System folder (MS Windows 9X/ME users)
Copying file named openGL32 in game folder
------------------------------------------------
i think also that you will get an other error message...[:p]
Ok, I tried MesaFX and I'm still getting the same message[}:)]
hmmm, you can try either wickedgl or gldirect.
Hum, i'm afraid that they will not work : this game is probably a game OpenGl 1.2 at least.
Any other ideas [?]
Try the game with the mikepedo 1.1 driver which you can download from www.falconfly.de and try with them wickedgl, usual opengl or the mesafx[8D]
QuoteI'm still getting the same message
I think that now the message is "a little" different :
copy and paste, please
The Voodoo3 has probably a problem with the size of the textures in the game since the card supports only 256*256 textures.
But only D.Borca will be able to say IF this game is a NO-GO for the Voodoo 3.
And did you try to change the config. file since the game starts in 32 bits (Remember that the V3 supports only the 16 bits) ?
(remember also the "first" error : "using colorbits of 32" )

It´s why I want him to try mikepedo 1.1, it supported 512x512 textures;)
About the 32bpp, you need to change it in a config file or something similar[^]
Alright, after copying to files from MesaFX into their folders this is the message I get:

Could not load OpenGL. Make sure that you have the latest drivers for your video card from the manufacturer's web site.
look for a file .ini and try if you can change the 32 bits colour to 16 bit colous[:o)]
Quoteexecing default.cfg
couldn't exec language.cfg
couldn't exec config.cfg
couldn't exec autoexec.cfg
so you are looking for a file called default.cfg (I believe when the game runs it will create the other .cfg files). Look in this file for something like 32 bpp or 32 bit color, and try changing it to 16. But as Nightbird stated, this might be no-go due to the texture size limitations.
I have a voodoo3 too, and I'm having the same problem with Caal Of Duty and I tried MesaFx but it didn't run.
You have to look for a file with this extension: .pak or .pak3 (I don´t remember) and open them with winrar or winzip, then look for a file compatable with microsoft excel and open it with microsoft word, then, you have to modify it to run in 16bit
Hmm... there are quite lot. Name of the file? And how to do the modifieng?
I don´t remember, I did myself in the demo although at the end I couldn´t get it working, I think that the entire game can, anyway, in two or three days, I´ll get the game and I´ll try it
Doesn't it have a "safe mode" shortcut?
Try starting the game this way...
If it run, change the color depth and load it by the normal shortcut
If it dont... well, buy another card :(
It doesn't run... :(
Only a command doesn´t let me play the game
I can´t play to call of duty.
I have downloaded amigasport3.0 and mesafx0.51.
why can't i play?

Sorry for my english
Please help me.Thank you
No hablo mucho inglés como habreis podido comprobar.Si alguien habla español y quiere alguna explicacion más detallada del problema, estaré encantado de dársela.
Call of Duty wont run on a voodoo3,I have done all I could to get it working.the problem seems to be s3 texture compression,looks like the game wont run unles it can be faked or turned of..
I´m sorry Nightbird for the other topic.I´m novice.
You can "delete your post" though now this is not possible ;)
QuoteCall of Duty wont run on a voodoo3,I have done all I could to get it working.the problem seems to be s3 texture compression,looks like the game wont run unles it can be faked or turned of..
and without forgotting that :
Quoteusing colorbits of 32
the game must support also the 16 bits
I was able to force the game to run in 16-bit,needed just a little ini editing..

So, unless dborca, the main developer of MesaFX, goes against everything he's said and implement some sort of texture compression into MesaFX, this game will be impossible to play on a V3. Or you can find some way to run the game with decompressed textures (hey, vice city can do it).

I can't :D the facts remain just the same. It'll be darn slow. Although I guess I could give it a shot... [:p] No promises, tho... I'm quite busy!

the game itself can run in 16-bit,but not on a voodoo3 (for now)..

i have MesaFx but it doesn't help
2 problems :
1) using colorbits of 32
2) video card cannot set mode 640x480 because GL_MAX_TEXTURE_SIZE is only 256
1) you need to tweak the config. file in 16 bits
but that will not sufficiant unluckily
2) because the Voodoo 3 supports only the textures 256*256 and the game uses more textures
The only hope is here :
dborca posted - 03/15/2004 - "I can't the facts remain just the same. It'll be darn slow. Although I guess I could give it a shot... No promises, tho... I'm quite busy!"
If this is not possible, Call of Duty will be a no-go for the Voodoo 3 [:(]
Guys, calm down and clear your mind.[8)]
If the game can run in 16-bit mode, then it's not an S3TC issue because those textures are uncompressed (i think[:0])
And 256 texs is not a problem with mesafx, because it can resize large textures (i.e. NWN[:p])
So, the game could be played (in theory) with the right little .bat file containing the MESA_FX_MAXLOD variable. Sorry I don't have the game now and I can't try it[8)]
well dont think.I have the game and I know how to use mesafx,and trust me,cod wont run.
basically,you need a geforce class card to run this game.tnt2 wont run cod,and guess what is the main difference between a tnt2 and a geforce?yes its hw T&L and texture compression..
you can take a look at all supported extensions v3-v5 comparison if you want..
Download Attachment: (https://www.3dfxzone.it/enboard/images/icon_paperclip.gif) v5-v3_mesafx.doc (https://www.3dfxzone.it/enboard/../public/uploaded/ps47/2004321174328_v5-v3_mesafx.doc)

definitely looks like texture compression..
Call of Duty needs S3TC and a Voodoo3 can't run it.
hope thats short and clear enough so everybody will understand:D
So no hope for that?

General, what card are you trying to use? I think you need to create a new thread for your problem (this one should really be locked with a message at the end that says "Call of Duty WILL NOT RUN ON A VOODOO 3!"). I think what you need is MesaFX, so long as you're using a Voodoo 4/5 card, if you're using a Voodoo 3, well, read above.
Quotethis one should really be locked with a message at the end that says "Call of Duty WILL NOT RUN ON A VOODOO 3!".
This topic will not locked since it's no question to forbid people to write their problems with COD and even if they are always the same with a Voodoo3.
a friend of mine copied cod on a cd of his so i can copy it back on my computer but somehow this ****ty cd of his wont copy some files so can please!! someone give me a link or something else where i can download the files

well i know you know alot bout this subject... so please help me ...
hey i have the exact problem as the one guy... i install call of duty and everything works perfect... then i click on the desktop call of duty sign and it opens then says;Could not load OpenGL. Make sure that you have the latest drivers for your video card from the manufacturer's web site.
well i have a 9800pro radeo vid card so im sure its not my card
please help
