I bought the game via Steam after checking with system requirements lab if my Laptop fullfills the min. requirements. There it stated that I fullfil all requirements. After installing I get a message that I should install my newest driver which I did.

I am currently running a GeForce GT555M driver with Intel Core i7 -2630 QM 2gHz. The latest version availiable at the Nvidia homepage was 340.52 which I installed. Also I am not using a virus scanner when starting (as stated in other posts) and yet Steam gives me the message “ogl_Load Function Failed”. I tried reinstalling Steam, the newest driver and the game and yet I have the same issue.

I am very frustrated that after buying the game and checking its compatibility with my rig that it won’t work. Also I tried googeling for some fixes and it seems that it has semething to do with Opengl. I do not know, however, how to go about this issue and I would like to ask for help from you guys. It there something I would need to install? Some sort of Patch coming up? Something wrong with my driver?

Regards

The first hour I played TF I got the OpenGL error, I used the old BF3 fix but I did something slightly different.

I got an old Nvidia 9600GT with the latest 3.40 driver, and I’m using Windows 8.1 64-bit.

Because I’m using Windows 8.1 64-bit I made a different “64 bit” key: Instead of using the “DWORD (32 bit)” key. I used the “QWORD”(64-bit)” key with exactly the same description as below. After that I played for 6 hours in a row without any crash, So I think it helps to use the right key for the corresponding system you’re using. (32-bit or 64-bit). I hope this helps you fix this error.

This seems to be an old fix used for BF3.
1.Simply go to your registry: Start –> Run –> Type in “Regedit”
2.Go to “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\GraphicsDrivers” and create a key of type “DWORD (32-bit)” or “QWORD (64-bit)” (depending on what system you’re using) and name “TdrDelay” with a value of 10 as Decimal value.
3.Reboot and play

In a nutshell it gives the GPU 10 seconds to recover/respond vs. 2 seconds (default).

This works for Windows 7, 8 and 8.1

This basically alleviates the “ Display driver stopped responding and has recovered” issue and/or “Display driver nvlddmkm stopped responding and has successfully recovered.” you will only see in the EventViewer.

If you want to learn more about this setting: Timeout Detection & Recovery (TDR)

TDR stands for Timeout Detection and Recovery. This is a feature of the Windows operating system which detects response problems from a graphics card, and recovers to a functional desktop by resetting the card. If the operating system does not receive a response from a graphics card within a certain amount of time (default is 2 seconds), the operating system resets the graphics card.

Before TDR existed, problems of this nature would have resulted in a system freeze and required a reboot of the operating system. If TDR is enabled and you see the TDR error message, “Display driver stopped responding and has recovered,” this means that the Windows operating system reset the display driver.
