none of the above

AMD has broken the compatibility with opengl 1.1 specs! Pete's OGL 1.76 don't use 2.1 extensions at all! It can run (at 2 fps or less) even if you disable the ICD driver, using the opengl32.dll that came with Windows...


GL_ARB_vertex_blend was not found, but is available in driver version 6.14.10.6847
GL_ATI_vertex_array_object was not found, but is available in driver version 6.14.10.6847
GL_ATI_vertex_attrib_array_object was not found, but is available in driver version 6.14.10.6847
GL_ATI_vertex_streams was not found, but is available in driver version 6.14.10.6847
GL_ATIX_vertex_shader_output_point_size was not found, but is available in driver version 6.14.10.6847This is what happens when you go about mass pruning compatibility extensions without any form of forethough, ATI's driver team should be sacked on this principal alone.

guess that the calls pete's uses in his OpenGL plugin are unique... or at least uncommon at best. without knowing what these are we're gonna have a hard time debugging those

mudlord could easily create an opengl tester which outputs the same triangular artifacts, if he had the time.

ATI has factually never been a fan of OpenGL, and i wouldn't be surprised if those conniving bastards did this deliberately.

no, he can't fix it, driver modders are nothing of the sort, all they do is modify the info that is set to the registry by default, a real driver modder would decompile the system file and attack the issue directly...

As far as i care, AMD is no longer providing full opengl 2 compatibility.
so is there already any know solution for this? im using a hd3650, and really cant play on epsxe so im unsing pSX but the graphics there are horrible..... and i cant downgrade the drivers, the card is too recent. any help?

im using xp32, 1gb of ram and a c2d e2160

i could play it fine with my old 7300gs on this pc.

the game im talking about is FF9 but from what ive seen on this topic there are other games with the problem too....

Don't change these.
