I've just installed Riddick on my PC but it keeps crashing with an error
message saying that I need to support OpenGL 1.3. I thought that died with
my voodoo 2 card years ago.
I'm running a 6800 NVIDIA card with 78.03 drivers and cant get my head
around this problem. anyone help?

Maybe you need a different driver,perhaps an older one since the latest is
not always the greatest in drivercity.

Are you running the drivers that came with the graphics card or windows
native drivers? Not sure if MS addressed the problem but when Windows
installs its own drivers for graphic cards it only installs DirectX
compatible drivers not OpenGL ones.

You need the 1.1 patch ( EU or US ) for the game. The newer nVidia drivers
support OpenGL 2.0.

The error you get is a bug in the original game because it can't detect the
version number correctly.

The 1.1 patch for Riddick fixes this.

Have you updated the game to the latest version? I remember having the
problem out of the box, which the patch cured.

I installed an older driver and it worked without a hitch. I'll try the
patch later on.

Thanks for the help everyone
