Question TLOPO Graphics Card Driver

Grey Vice

Greeter
I'm having this problem where apparently my graphics card driver isn't supported
and it causes my TLOPO client to crash.
I've reverted back to and older driver, back when the game would load to
see if that would change anything. Nope.

In the spoiler is my log, in pink is the portion that Support says is the problem.

Any help is great!
 
Your card is supported. Nice specs, by the way.

I'm not a developer for the game so I can't fully interpret the log but you can try the following:

1) A clean install of your Game Ready Driver. Go to the Drivers panel in GeForce Experience, click the three dots and click on Reinstall Driver. Choose the custom install and at the bottom of the next window tick the box that says "Perform a clean installation". Make sure everything is selected.

edit: Removed the suggestion to reinstall phase_4.mf. My logs contain the message ":display:windisplay(warning): Could not find icon filename resources/phase_4/etc/Pirates_Adds.ico" as well and my game is fully functional, indicating this is probably not the culprit.

If this doesn't fix it, you may want to try reinstalling the game. Let me know if this helps though. It may be useful in a bug report to the mods.

I did the clean install, and that removed the line that says when I compared the latest log to an earlier one from this evening.

:12-26-2017 22:11:39 :display:windisplay(warning): SetForegroundWindow() failed!

Although, after reinstalling I still am unable to launch the game properly.
 
All I can suggest for the moment is a reinstall of the game itself, then. You might need to ask someone who knows the inner workings of the game more intimately. :eek:

Do update us if anything changes. I'll chime in if I can.

Greyvicee, don't go adjusting YOUR system for tlopo. Your system is fine. It doesn't hurt to install newer versions of your graphic drivers if they are more than a year old or whatever, but this is rarely the reasons for a 3rd party game to fail. It's almost always the 3rd party software that is at fault. And as you may be aware, you have to run tlopo with the OpenGL setting in the launcher screen. Directx isn't used yet. And tlopo reverted to an earlier launcher too.

Try this with the game by following the instructions to re-install tlopo instead like deckshot said as well.

I've uninstalled and reinstalled countless times following these instructions, OpenGL is always auto selected in the launcher.
 
Sounds to me like a Win Issue not a driver or game Issue, Nvidia works fine with mine . Win version ? and do you have updates ?
 
We were having this exact issue on our older PC.

Microsoft's last update may have fixed this issue by resolving the Graphics Driver problem (after the 1607 update, Windows decided to use THEIR graphics driver not ATI's - but now the driver is showing as a newer ATI version) and Pirates is running again.
