City of Heroes vs 8600GT a match made in hell

Dacarlo · Jan 16, 2008, 10:31 AM

Anyone know how to fix this? I've uninstalled and reinstalled both the default CD drivers from Inno3D, I've installed Nvidia's latest drivers from their site. Each time I used driver cleaner platinum to nuke the old ones after an uninstall. Each time I try to load COH I get the following before it crashes out.

You card or driver doesn't support GL_EXT_compiled_vertex_array
You card or driver doesn't support GL_ARB_multitexture
You card or driver doesn't support GL_ARB_texture_compression

City of Heroes has crashed and cannot continue. You may need to upgrade to a supported video card or driver.

Its damn annoying aince I'd love to play Crysis too which is the reason I got this card (amongst others). Anyone have a clue for me?

I'm considering these Omega drivers but since I've no idea what these errors mean I've no way to fathom if they will fix those kinds of errors.

Thanks for reading!

Hi there and welcome to DriverHeaven!

Those problems are OpenGL issues. If I'm not mistaken that card should support those OpenGL functions.

[EDIT] Try the Omega's drivers

[EDIT2] I moved this to nVidia drivers forum since it's driver issue.

They certainly are openGL issues. I tried disabling write combining but no joy there. I tried the Omega drivers again no joy.

Anyone else got an idea?

Problem solved. Check out the following link. Q1 fixed my issues. My previous card was an Asus 7600GT. There were indeed enhanced Asus drivers installed.

Huzzah!
