Yet another error … after finally getting the game going, my wife is now telling me that she is getting this particular error when trying to start the game ….. why isn’t this going to be easy?
Hint for the developers …. test the game and anticipate errors …. it can’t be that hard.
The first error was 97 – which related to Java … installed the latest version, then I got 87 as the error message … this related to the ATI registry key … goggled this and found the following:
For whatever reason, the AMD Catalyst Drivers for Windows 8 Consumer Preview are broken when it comes to 64-bit OpenGL there missing a registry entry critical to its functionality. Specifically, whenever an application (like Minecraft using Java 64-bit) requests OpenGL access, AMDs atig6pxx.dll kicks in. It then peeks inside HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4d36e968-e325-11ce-bfc1-08002be10318}000 and loads the OpenGL component as specified by OpenGLVendorName (64-bit) or OpenGLVendorNameWow (32-bit).
While the bits are there, the 64-bit registry entry is missing completely
Just save the following as a .reg file and run it no need to restart.
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4d36e968-e325-11ce-bfc1-08002be10318}000]
“OpenGLVendorName”=hex(7):61,00,74,00,69,00,6f,00,36,00,61,00,78,00,78,00,2e,\
00,64,00,6c,00,6c,00,00,00,61,00,74,00,69,00,6f,00,36,00,61,00,78,00,78,00,\
2e,00,64,00,6c,00,6c,00,00,00,00,00Copy the bold text portion from above, save as a file on the desktop (ie. ati_fix.reg) and then double click it. Answer yest to merging the text and then the game runs.
Why aren’t these placed as bulletins on the forum?
