"openGL video mode failed."
whenever I try to launch this game, I get this message;

Video mode change failure
The game has detected that the previous attempt to start in openGL video mode failed.
The game will now run in software mode.

After clicking "OK", the game stops attempting to launch. I've tried many launch options, but the only one that changes anything is "-soft", which skips the message and goes straight to the failed launch.
