Crash on startup / frozen screen

[Sly Boots]

Hi,

I'm having this weird problem. It's similar to the grey screen I've seen people talk about on the forums. The game opens in a window, shows me the splash screen, then the main menu. Only the menu is just an image, meaning I cannot interact with any of the options. If I move the window around, it shows me a grey screen where the window used to be. When I Alt-F4 out of it, I get an error message:

GLimp_EndFrame() - SwapBuffers() failed!

Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

In the Visuals menu is the driver set to default opengl
What video card do you use?

That's the thing: I cannot access the Visuals menu because the main menu screen is frozen. Nothing responds to hovering the cursor over it. Unless there's a way to configure the game's graphics from outside the executable, I'm stuck for now.

My card is an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960.

Thanks for the response.

It's a opengl error, probably got todo with with youre video drivers (opengl32.dll).
Same error probably happens also with quake 2.
-You could try reinstall video drivers.
-Or Try run game in xp mode.
-Or get some new/other version from opengl32.dll thats comes with windows and place in youre kingpin directory. (Reinstall windows)

I downloaded the GLDirect utility package from sourceforge.net and I used the opengl32.dll that was included there and it finally worked.

Thank you very much for your help!

If you do you'll need a kingpin server browser :)
