Ok so I used to run CS 1.6 in OpenGL. But for some reason it wont run in OpenGL anymore (I run it in Direct3D). It shows the whole "Graphics option not supported." Is there anyway I can fix this. I believe I have the most up to date drivers.

Hardware? OS?

If it says that then Valve must think OpenGL is a bad idea.

But then Valve aren't really the best judges of things sometimes.

Even when I run your McDiddy's game (now since it renders with OpenGL) it looks funny (but it still runs).

The worst part is because it is Intel nobody pays attention to it.

Screenshot? I'd like to fix it if I can.

Plus maybe would shed some light on why it no work in CS.

I am thinking it may because Windows wants to push DirectX. To test this theory I will install Ubuntu or Fedora and try the *nix version and see if it works then. I will record the Windows version of SPARToR for you.

Windows 7 lets me run Counter-Strike in OpenGL with no problems so I dunno.

HAHA. SPARToR runs fine in Ubuntu. Uploading video now.

Interesting.

One of my favorite things about Linux is that it is almost completely free of hardware-vendor supplied drivers. I'm going to go ahead and blame Intel for your problems. If you could get a driver by Microsoft it would probably work fine.

Just a guess.

Went to Intel's website. Changed the "Triple Buffering" setting to "Default," and it works now. That is SPARToR works, I haven't try CS yet. :Happy_Face: :Happy_Face:

Actually, Valve do think OpenGl is a good idea, because Steam and all their games are becoming Macintosh'd.

I give a little into the moment like I'm standing at the edge (I know)
That no-one's gonna turn me 'round
Just one more step, I could let go
