01:14:56 ER: problem with opengl drivers
01:16:16 ER: I may have to soothe my pain by buying steam games and hoping they don't also fail me
01:16:35 ER: ok I was planning to do that before this
01:19:51 ER: any advice for exising this demon which doesn't want me to play the fun game?
01:22:24 MJ: That is a
syv or
devastator question
01:40:03 ER: when I try to start the game it gives an error saying that my drivers seem not to support opengl 2.1
01:40:45 Devastator: Which game is this and what's your operating system?
01:41:56 ER: the game is new as far as I know
01:42:34 ER: though it might not be fancy graphics or anything
01:42:36 Devastator: No, Open GL 2.1 is not new.
01:42:48 Devastator: game might be, but that's an old open GL version.
01:43:00 Devastator: which might be the issue. You might not have it because you have the latest drivers.
01:44:16 Devastator: but yeah, you might need to install some older drivers in addition to the latest ones.
01:44:58 ER: been trying mesa3d but it doesn't seem to work
01:45:07 ER: how... do I get old drivers
01:45:44 ER: or, doesn't seem to help at least
01:45:52 ER: maybe one more try of that, hrm
01:46:34 MJ: Just uninstall and reinstall?
01:49:27 Devastator: I would google. A quick read shows some features were removed when they went to 3.0, so there might be a compatibility kit.
01:49:44 Devastator: or a different set of drivers.
01:57:42 ER: I think I've tried just about everything at this point
01:57:58 Devastator: what is the name of the game?
01:59:37 ER: someone sent me a download of the paid for version of it but I tried the demo as well just now
02:01:36 ER: seemed interesting but I've probably overinvested effort by this point
02:01:43 ER: and should find something else to play
02:01:44 Devastator: That's gonna be tricky to google then. ;-p
02:02:01 Devastator: next step would be diagnosis and I haven't done that for a W11 driver issue.
02:02:10 Devastator: can do if you really want to, but ok.
02:02:18 ER: the person who sent/recommended it to me said she checked their discord and didn't see anyone with my issue
02:03:58 ER: kinda scared that I can't play anything which uses opengl though
02:04:22 ER: and I dunno what I could do about it in that case
02:10:16 Devastator: I doubt that's the case, this is probably just a semi-borked indy game that needs something weird.
02:16:40 ER: I redownloaded Overgrowth on steam in the hopes that it might come with some drivers or something, and it also refuses to launch
02:16:56 ER: though the error is more arcane graphics language
02:17:39 ER: "no support for S3TC DXT5 textures detected"
02:18:13 ER: and then it suggests that my GPU is too old or my drivers are out of date and both are certainly newer than Overgrowth is
02:22:06 MJ: Did overgrowth ever come out with like a story/campagain?
02:23:55 ER: kinda a shaggy dog story tbh, at the final level I had no idea that I was at teh climax
02:24:21 ER: the whole game is basically about finding a home for some bunnies
02:24:33 ER: and the last level is like "hey we found this place?"
02:24:48 ER: so I climbed up it and slew the monarch and turns out that was it
02:25:17 ER: after a whole game is turner going around and fighting people and getting captured and forced into gladatorial battles
02:25:44 ER: ...and the solution is introduced at the start of the last level and you just do it and this time no complications arise
02:26:10 MJ: Sounds about right, I saw the game when it first came out and it always seemed fun just kind of lacking in story
02:26:39 ER: I was hoping they'd do a kinda M&B style mode
02:26:55 ER: but that was probably just kidlike overconfidence in the project
02:29:10 ER: oh and one fight was super difficult for kinda BS reasons

02:29:27 ER: just a 1v1 duel with a cat, you each have a rapier and offhand dagger
02:29:39 ER: the dagger isn't for parrying, but you can throw it
02:30:02 ER: and then block or catch the thrown weapon
02:30:22 ER: but the NPC throws it so quickly that I just couldn't react, and dagger to the face is an instakill
02:30:43 ER: and when I try to throw it the AI just blocks it effortlessly like it's not hard at all
02:31:12 ER: so I have to win a sword duel against a tough opponent where at any moment they can just press a button and instakill me
02:34:53 ER: I'm gonna stop griping about video games and play video games

03:53:23 Devastator: does a cat want to be pet?
03:53:43 syv: Unfortunately I am at work
04:02:55 MJ: That describes most cats I've met to be fair
04:03:49 Devastator: Cats who would disagree with you when you call them cats?
04:05:16 MJ: I dunno, I'm sure they have their own sound to refer to themselves in social calls.
04:37:18 MJ: Alright I finnaly finished fucking around with data in excel
04:38:05 MJ: It only took like 5 hours of making graphs.
04:54:25 ER: why am I so tired? it's only... 1 am
04:54:46 ER: and I worked today. and lost a year of my life worrying about drivers
04:54:58 ER: but I got up at 11 in the morning! that was late! D:
04:55:07 ER: I should be allowed more time than this!
04:55:29 ER: welp, I guess I do get more time. tomorrow
05:06:37 ER: is it really that time again
