Re: old game's won't start

Hello snook,
Are you getting the opengl error ?, if you are i think it's to do with the resolution, pure coincidence, i have just installed it and have that problem, so I'm going to re-install and try a lower resolution.
Will post my results.

You don't have to re-install, go in to your RTCW "Main" folder and delete the wolfconfig CFG file, restart the game and don't set the resolution above 1280, thats what worked for me, hope this helps.
Also, run as administrator.
Good luck and post your results.
