Title: Help! Pontifex wont load

Yes - I agree the problem is graphic driver related. I tried 4 different ones - 2 from NVidea and 2 from Leadtek - eventually I got one that worked (the NVidea ones gave me a thunkconnect32 error). Leadtek don't seem to acknowledge OpenGL - perhaps they are owned by Microsoft.

I reinstalled my graphics drivers yesterday as I was getting IRQ errors in some games. When I tried to start Pontifex this morning I get the frame for a few seconds and then the program unloads. The stderr message is:

Fatal signal: Segmentation Fault (SDL Parachute Deployed)

The driver is the same one I was using before and is the latest from LeadTek. I'm using XP and that is fully patched. Other games seem to work fine. The same thing happens if I try to load the "setup" program.

Has anybody got any suggestions before I get PWS (Pontifex Withdrawal Syndrome).

Then I'm sorry to tell ya to do a reinstall of Windows. I fear the day when I'm forced to do so.

You said you re-installed your graphics drivers but you are using the same ones as before?  The problem probably has to do with the graphics drivers, you sure these new ones have OpenGL drivers?

Try updating your drivers, with some newer reference drivers.
