Minecraft help

[Viking]

So when I try to play some Minecraft, I got "bad video graphic card" or something. So i googled it and tried a toturial and it worked, kinda.


What I did was downloading a different opengl.dll file and replaced it, think I downloaded it from www.titaniumgl.tk ?


Anyway, now when I play the game, the map is invisible and some elements are red! Totaly unplayable.


So I thought I just could download the AMD driver again, but to no avail.


What should I do? Should I download the newest opengl.dll file? In that case, were can I find it?

My brother had the same problem, it was just a bad videocard driver. Download GPU-z (I'm assuming you're running windows) and tell me what graphics card it has, I'll see if I can help further from there.

ATI Radeon HD 3200 Graphics

Try downloading and running this driver update, see if that helps at all.

 

[Viking]

Noooo that didn't work.


But as said, I did replace my opengl.dll file with another. but the driver update should have updated that too..

 

[moz]

Maybe, try updating Java.

 

[Viking]

I have the latest version of Java :S

 

[moz]

I'm not sure what else can be done, maybe you should wait for someone more knowledgeable to find this thread.

Replacing a single DDL file will probably cause more trouble than it's worth.

 

[Viking]

didn't work either.


My minecraft just looks like this now..

Manually update the version of lwjgl in the Minecraft directory. No idea where that is on Windows, unfortunately, but I'm sure you can find it.

 

[darfgarf]

itll be under appdata/roaming/.minecraft


btw that's a rather old graphics card, consider upgrading

 

[Viking]

It's my brother's netbook and I got it because he didn't need it and it wasn't worth much + I needed a laptop with HDMI and a large HDD.


EDIT:


Now the loading screen is totaly black. But yeah, as I said earlier, I did replace my openGL.dll file with another in system32 dir.


Wouldn't the solution be to get that file back?


EDIT EDIT:


I force updated minecraft, and it "retrieved" lwjgl.dll after updating it.


I wasn't supposed to do that, right?

netbook

i think that's the problem here, netbooks are great, but unless it's an alienware one it's not designed to play minecraft, even if the graphics are completely borked, isn't the framerate through the floor?

 

[Viking]

Nope, I saw my brother play minecraft on this very computer. And it worked, just a little lag sometimes.

 

[darfgarf]

very odd, badger him about it?

 

[Viking]

But the thing is, he got his computer from his school and it was allready installed with windows and drivers.


So I've formated the netbook, running W7 and found the drivers online.


btw, this netbook is powerfull enough to run champions online smoothly

 

[darfgarf]

ah how odd, must just be driver issues, could always throw an e-mail to notch and complain

 

[Viking]

I doubt it's Notch fault if the netbook have been able to play minecraft before?

 

[Nintendo]

Viking, which exact Netbook did you get, anyway?
