Return to Castle Wolfenstein

OpenGL() Error - Can't start game!
Hi,

I'm getting the following error when I try to start the game:

I've tried downloading the patch, but it still won't start.

Remove wolfconfig.cfg so it's re-generated

Which patch?

wow thx mate! this rlli worked, how did u know about this ??
>M@tEo$< Dec 29, 2015 @ 3:43am 
The game sometimes fails to set the selected resolution, and since it's saved in the CFG file, it fails at each game launch ^^'

An other solution would have been to open up the file in Notepad, look for the line r_mode, and set it to 4, its default (1024x768) :)

It's known by people who are used to id Tech III games (Quake III, Wolfenstein Enemy Territory, ...).

So, it can't be played in 16:9 resolution like 1200x800? i have an asus transformer t100 with intel hd graphics and i have this problem too.

You can try: https://github.com/iortcw/iortcw/releases

But since you have Intel HD Graphics, I doubt OpenGL games can be run...

Do you know if your OS is 32 or 64 bits? This can be seen when you right click on Compuer on the Desktop and select Properties
