Working on HP Laptop with Windows 7 Pro; 8 GB Ram; i7-2630QM processor; 15.6" Full HD HP Anti-glare LED display /w Radeon HD 6770 switchable graphics with 2048MB GDDR5;

I have installed openAL

I'm sure it is a simple fix, any help would be appreciated!

What graphics driver version are you using? This sounds to me like a driver problem...make sure you're using the latest drivers (should be Catalyst 12.3 for your card, I think).

hi, i've the same problem. but on HP computer we can't use catalyst system directly from AMD because it's a special driver to have switch automatic between card graphic and Intel HD 3000 !!!

so how it s possible to have open gl usable ?
thanks

I can't speak to that, since I don't have an AMD graphics setup myself, but hopefully one of the devs will be able to come up with something that will work. They've managed to find workarounds for a number of similar issues, but they're pretty busy, so it may take them a couple of days.

There isn't much I can say about the issue, since I do not have similar hardware at my disposal. The error message could indicate than either the onboard card is used to start the game or the AMD drivers do not have OpenGL support. That is (or was) a common issue wirh drivers installed via Windows Update.

Simple fix... I had to update the Radeon 6770M drivers under the device manager. Starts up just fine now. Thanks.
