Could not load OpenGL subsystem
August 4th, 2016
So I got Return to Castle Wolfenstein, installed it, patched it and was ready to go. Unfortunatly when I tried to launch it, screen goes gray and I got a console box with the error: GLW_StartOpenGL() – could not load OpenGL subsystem
I’ve searched on google and tried some stuff but can’t get it to work still. Tried some fixes, extension limit on/off and diffrent compattible modes.
Windows Vista
Nividia GeForce 9800 gtx+ (Drivers updated)
4 GB RAM
Intel Core 2 duo E8400 @ 3.00 GHz
