ATI Radeon 9200 problems with OpenGl

[Maestro]

Hi!
I have problems with Unreal.

I can’t get it to work with open gl mode. This is strange, on my old machine I could run it just fine in open gl. I had a PII 400 with Riva TNT2 32 mb

Now i have P4 with ATI Radeon 128mb, but it just won’t work. I have tried with D3D, but it´s extremely slow.

What should I do? I have the latest patch (final)

In what way does it not work?

Does it give you a GPF when trying to start Unreal? (or no GPF at all..just stops)
Does it hang when Unreal loads?
Does it revert to software rendering when Unreal loads?

Try running it in OpenGL again and post the last 50 lines of your Unreal.log file in here after doing that..

It just shuts down when you have changed to opengl and when to restart the game. nothing happens, Im back at the desktop. But it doesnt change back to software, I have to start it in safe mod in order to change it back to software.

Im running w2k.

Here are the lines from unreal.ini

Ok, someone called CookieMonster[MoA] explained how to fix this in detail to me before but I will give you a quick hacky fix now..(a LOT of information in your log file will be removed)

Go to Unreal.ini and do a search for [Core.System], when you find that you will see many lines containing text such as Suppress= , under all the existing Suppress lines add another line that says Suppress=Init

What that does is stop any information containing the tag Init: being logged to your .log file and so stops Unreal crashing..(I hope so anyway)
