Hey, I've got Vista installed.
For me selecting openGL made the screen flicker to black, back and forth until it became mostly black (guess - possibly flipping depth buffers incorrectly, and causing memory leak???) .
Video Card is an Radeon X300.
Windows Vista Ultimate version - up to date as of 21/6/07 @ 2:40am.
When I learn how to compile the client version on my PC I will look into it further.
p.s apologies for the necro, but it didn't look like a closed issue

Yeah, it's an old videocard (or just plain crap, what can I say, I'm a tightass hehe), so that could very well be the problem. I will go and hunt now.ElvenProgrammer wrote:Actually I play TMW in OpenGL mode without any problem (GeForce 7900 GS on Vista), the first suggestion would be updating your video drivers

It had occured when I installed tmw for the first time, and when I enabled openGL and fullscreen mode. I remember because the only way I could play it anymore was to look through the source code to find out where the xml config file was placed, so I could disable openGL, so it would not do the screen flicker.
My driver was the latest, I rolled back to an earlier version opened tmw, and it worked. Puzzled, I re-installed the latest driver back then opened tmw with fullscreen and openGL support, still no problem. Since I can't replicate this issue, I don't know what it was. It could have been an issue due to overclocking and heating, I don't have a clue (and I swear I was not smoking anything ^-^). oh well it's running fine which is the most important thing. ty
anyone still having problems running game on vista? i posted in another section for windows already but i'll put it here too, just in case someone missed the other one. i had to set my opengl to 0 in order to get game to work on vista32. i hate vista but didnt know how much i hated it until i bought this comp in March. i have trouble playing games on here that worked fine on my winxp. i really like tmw. i also tried using virtual windowsxp but... i REALLY couldnt figure it out and it made my comp soo slow. so i scrapped that idea and searched until i found this solution.

I have also tried 0.0.24 on Vista Home Edition (32bit) with:
Intel Core Duo T2050
ATI Radeon Mobility X1400 (witn ATI Catalyst drivers)
1 GB RAM
I have no problems, quite high frame rate. If Windows Graphics are set to standard it works faster.

OpenGL support with some video card drivers is *shocking*. Intel are especially bad, but AMD/ATI arent much better. Nvidia generally have exceedingly good OpenGL support in their drivers though.

Works fine here with Windows Vista 64bit + Intel DG45ID (X4500HD) + latest drivers.trapdoor wrote:OpenGL support with some video card drivers is *shocking*. Intel are especially bad, but AMD/ATI arent much better. Nvidia generally have exceedingly good OpenGL support in their drivers though.
