  • Help installing DarkPlaces

    So I downloaded this and I can't get it to work. I've checked all over google and the forums, but to no avail.

    Here's what I did:
    Downloaded Darkplaces

    Extracted it to C:\Quake

    Started it up

    Error: This program can't start because glide2x.dll is missing from your computer
    (This pops up about 10 times)

    Error : Video modes failed

    What can I do to get this working?

    thanks

      download glide2x.dll and unzip it to

      * C:\Windows\System (Windows 95/98/Me)
      * C:\WINNT\System32 (Windows NT/2000)
      * C:\Windows\System32 (Windows XP, Vista, 7)

      Pretty simple right? It said you don't have a file so you go get it. The wonderment never ceases.

        Delete opengl32.dll and the 3dfx.dll as well. do not install glide.

            glide is for 3dfx cards from 1997.
            OpenGL is supported by most gfx cards now and really shouldnt go in the game folder.

              downloading glide is not the answer.
              it will not fix anything.
              it'll just result in an even more bizzare error when it tries using hardware that you don't even have.
