Error when starting up R4

[Colinb]

I get the following error when starting up r4. I have r2extrem and that works fine.

ok, first: you don't have the latest version of R4

However, this is unlikely to matter. What is your video card?
R4 uses some new things to help speed it up. I haven't bothered putting in support for doing them the old (R2e) way, since chances are it would run too slow to be useful anyway.

If you can tell me your card i should be able to tell you if it needs a newer driver or if it just won't work

Gordon,

idea

pop the version number for r4 in the log file too. Might save a little time and confusion when posting like the card & driver date/detail that are recorded in the current R4 info would now.

The graphics card I have is a

NVIDIA RIVA TNT2 model 64

The above msg was me, never realised I wasn't signed in.

Sorry, i just looked it up and it seems the card doesn't support the render_texture extension

In addition to the suggest by 'Rovastar' maybe implement a video id function so R4 could auto paste that as well.

[rabidhamster]

Yep. the new version has that.
But i'd forgotten about the version number :p
