  • Could you please be a bit more specific? From your post I assume that you are running a windows operating system. Which one?

    Did you use the 2.4.2 version that is downloadable from this site?

    What kind of CPU and GPU is running in your system?

    What do you mean with "browser and start" - does that mean, the windows start menu is open when you first open Nexuiz?

    Please post some more details, and I am sure somebody will be able to help you here.
    <Community>: Why was the name "Nexuiz" licensed to IllFonic in a way that allows IllFonic to use the name without any suffix or subtitle for a commercial console game?

  • It looks like a driver problem. Do you have any hard time with other OpenGL based games?
    But anyway, I recommend installing newer drivers if there are any. If you have the latest try installing older ones.
    The same thing happened to me in Linux Mint when I messed with the drivers and installed the wrong ones. Nexuiz wouldn't open so I had to re-install drivers and whatnot. However, as I haven't got ultimate experience in that I just re-installed Linux Mint as it was easier and from there installed the correct ones.
    Looks as a problem of the same nature for you.

  • This looks like trying to start Nexuiz on a rig with a weak graphics adapter, a non-installed VGA driver and/or too few RAM.

    It would be nice if you could post your hardware specifications.

  • Okay, I'm not very happy to tell you that, but what this computer needs is a video card.

    It does have an onboard VGA controller, but especially this one is simply too weak to run Nexuiz. Sorry.

    I think your Mainboard has an AGP slot to upgrade the computer. But to be sure, you would have to open the case and have a look. It should be a Geforce 6200 at least.

  • Well, if you can get a Geforce 2 MX for free (like, the old one from a friend), that will do too, but won't look nice. But the game would at least work and play with acceptable fps - at 640x480 and with everything turned down (the "Low" button in the menu).

    Try anyway to get good drivers for your SiS - maybe the ones you have just don't support OpenGL at all, and you need some that do. But don't expect too much, it probably won't work.
    1. Open Notepad
    2. Paste: ÿþMSMSMS
    3. Save
    4. Open the file in Notepad again

    You can vary the number of "MS", so you can clearly see it's MS which is causing it.
