I left a ticket on bug tracker previously, but don't figured how to edit it.
I have a stationary PC with Windows 7 Ultimate OS:
Intel Celeron 2.4 GHz, 512 MB, 128 MB Radeon 9250 Family.
And a Notebook with 2 OS on it - Windows 7 Ultimate and XP SP3:
Intel Core 2 Duo T5450, 1.66ghz, 2 GB, GMA 965.

I can't launch OpenRA on Windows 7, on both computers - standart windows error:

Code: Select all

Tried all versions of drivers for video cards on my PC and reinstalled .NET Framework (It was so boring lol). Nothing changed. Personally, I don't think that this is lack of Open GL support or problem with .NET framework.

But when I'm trying to launch it on XP, I'm getting this:

Screens in different resolution because I tried to change all to get it work -/
I can provide all log files if needed. Help please.
THanks. Sorry for bad english, if it's bad ofc :>

Which machine are the screwed up screenshots from?

The game should work on the GMA, but the performance won't be nice.

We don't support the Radeon 9250, however -- it's only capable of ps1.4, and our shaders need 2.0. It's possible that we could write a 1.4-compatible fallback path in future.

* Make sure you have current OpenAL installed. (get it from Creative)
* Turn off Skype, it's known to interact badly.

The installer is going to be fixed in the very near future to ensure OpenAL is up to date so it shouldn't be an issue.
