Angelshade00 Posted March 11, 2012 Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 Hi, I just bought the original game (the one with the Starforce thingy) and I got so frustrated already.After installing and being unable to play I looked around the net. After a little searching, I downloaded patched 1.2 (including 1.1) and 1.2.1 and installed them. Well after all that, when I try to run the game I get this message:assert_fatalver: UFO: Aftershock version 1.2file:C:\workdir\Src\libglview\core\BasicOglWnd.cpp line:203wglChoosePixelFormatARB() failed! and the OK button underneath which I am unable to click and must open the Task Manager in order to terminate the application. Any help would be greatly appreciated!Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ERISS Posted March 11, 2012 Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 file:C:\workdir\Src\libglview\core\BasicOglWnd.cpp line:203wglChoosePixelFormatARB() failed!Don't you have an Intel video card? That's even worse if it is integered in the pc.Choose a decent Nvidia or AMD card to play 3D games with a pc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angelshade00 Posted March 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 I'm playing on a laptop. So is there something I can do to fix this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silencer_pl Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 Well then you might be screwed from the start as it is known that all UFO games are not friendly with mobile GPUs. Check readmes if your card is supported but highly doubted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Voyager Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 Just remembered that if ALTAR forums are down, StrategyCore is one of the very few places to get any info on UFO:After... games... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angelshade00 Posted March 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 Great. I had no problems with Aftermath though. Just my luck I guess.Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silencer_pl Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 Aftermath used different engine. AL and AS use the same but AL is improved and still they refused to support some mobile GPUs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spleenbag Posted July 5, 2012 Report Share Posted July 5, 2012 This is an old post but I thought I'd share my experiences. I also have a laptop but it has switchable graphics cards: A low powered intel card and a slightly better Radeon hd6470M. Even though I've set UFO.exe to use the "High Performance" video card in the Catalyst Control Centre, I also receive the wglChoosePixelFormatARB error. I'm using the GOG version of Aftershock. If anyone can help out, please let me know. I don't care that much; I just play it on my desktop. I'm mainly putting this here to warn people the game may not work on a laptop even though you've got something better than an Intel GPU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silencer_pl Posted July 6, 2012 Report Share Posted July 6, 2012 I've checked my box and there it clearly says - "Game does not support integrated graphics cards nor mobile laptop solutions". And I am surely to said at least once in this topic. I know that HD6470M is more modern than this game but If they say that mobile solutions are different than desktop ones then it doesn't matter. Your better option would be to contact GOG and ask them about mobile solutions and this game but I am sure they will not touch the code. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
