i have an A8 quad core processor and an nvidia geforce gtx550ti graphics card yet i cant p[lay this game. its really annoying

Good hardware, but most likely outdated video drivers.

[HighGuy92]

i tried updating and they are all up to date. i just wonder if my hardware supports opengl

i had to make the game open in compatibility mode, you should be able to work it out within the game files to where you can have it run in comp mode when you launch the game so that you dont have to manually put your computer in compatibility mode every time

Man, if you are wondering about your hardware supporting OpenGL, then you are definitely not tech savvy. No offence.

So if you can tell us what OS (WinXP, Vista, Win7 or Win8) and what driver version you have, we would be able to help you more efficiently.

and i never said i was tech savvy

[motorsep]

Ok, cool.

So, as I mentioned before, your video driver is outdated. I can't tell if you have Win8 or Win8.1 (nor if it makes any difference), so I'll just post latest beta driver for your to try:

[HighGuy92]

it didnt work, i get the same message

[motorsep]

Have you tried running the game in compatibility with Win7 mode?

Find game's .exe file, right click on it, Properties, check Run this program in compatibility mode for: Win 7 and Run as admin. Apply, Ok and then run it.

[HighGuy92]

did it, it didnt work...i think this is hopeless

[motorsep]

I don't know how you do it or what you do, but BFG runs on GF9500, which is whole a lot older than you card. It also runs on my GF670GTX, which is newer than your card. It also runs on Intel 4000HD which is miracle.

So it's either very seldom combination of hardware and software that prevents the game from running, or operator's error.

[HighGuy92]

yeah now it just doesnt open

[motorsep]

Oh, try installing MSVC 2010 redist (unless already have it installed). I had issue like that with a game that required those.

[motorsep]

If he had AMD GPU, that would be the way to go :) But he has Nvidia.

[HighGuy92]

funny, i actually tried that lol but, alas, i do not have amd anymore. i used to however. i DO have an amd processor, but not graphics card ): i heard nvidia are better anyway
