openGL context creation failed (game does not start)

[Anonymous]

This is what it says : [Please try installing the latest drivers for your graphics card] (ARB_timer_query not available).  I use Ubuntu 14.04 64 bit and Radeon HD 4670, and I can’t update drivers because AMD stopped supporting my gfx card. All other games work flawless on default opensource drivers.

i was wondering there is meant to be a settings file to change graphics settings manually.

this i obviously not on mine as never ran for a first time. maybe getting that file and manually setting might provide a work around??

 

anyone willing to send me there setting file?

@folle,

Thank you for reporting this. We’re going to remove the ARP_timer_query and use a different solution. Stay tuned for the next update.

@loco1

The settings file on linux can be found here:

~/.local/share/Steam/userdata/<steam-user-id>/304730/local/

I can give you the content of the settings.lua file which should be placed in the /local/ folder. I dont think this will change anything. What is your error ? What system do you have?

 

settings.lua file:

function data()

return {

fullScreen = true,

geometryQuality = 2,

invertPan = false,

invertRotate = false,

invertRotateKeys = false,

invertTilt = false,

invertZoom = false,

masterVolume = 0.30000001192093,

maxDegreeOfAnisotropy = 4,

menuMusicEnabled = true,

moneyMode = “KMB”,

moneyPrefix = “$”,

moneySuffix = “”,

musicEnabled = true,

musicVolume = 0,

numSamples = 2,

scrollAtBorder = true,

shadowQuality = 0,

soundVolume = 0.60000002384186,

speedUnit = “KMH”,

uploadCrashDumps = true,

use16bitTextures = true,

useHdr = false,

useReflection = false,

useSsao = false,

useTextureCompression = false,

vsync = true,

windowPos = {

1920, 0,

},

windowSize = {

1920, 1200,

},

 

}

end

I’have tried to upgrade my OpenGL version:

server glx version string: 1.4
client glx version string: 1.4
GLX version: 1.4
OpenGL core profile version string: 3.1 (Core Profile) Mesa 10.4.0-devel (git-2828680 2014-09-12 trusty-oibaf-ppa)
OpenGL core profile shading language version string: 1.40
OpenGL version string: 3.0 Mesa 10.4.0-devel (git-2828680 2014-09-12 trusty-oibaf-ppa)
OpenGL shading language version string: 1.30
OpenGL ES profile version string: OpenGL ES 3.0 Mesa 10.4.0-devel (git-2828680 2014-09-12 trusty-oibaf-ppa)
OpenGL ES profile shading language version string: OpenGL ES GLSL ES 3.0

It is still not the latest. I’m fighting my system to get OpenGL 3.3 through https://launchpad.net/~oibaf/+archive/ubuntu/graphics-drivers but currently it dosent get me 3.3. Still fighting.
