Knytt Underground / Re: Knytt Won't Launch (Steam) (No Error, No Crash)

Thanks Nifflas! It took a bit of digging, but I got it to work. Apparently Windows 8 breaks the ability of several older video cards to use the newest drivers.

After finding this patch for Mobility Modder, and (more or less) following these instructions, I was able to update OpenGL and run Knytt Underground! :D I'm excited!!

Thanks everyone!!

wellll, I tried running DoctorGL.exe but it crashes instantly :/ all I get is the standard Windows message that says the program has encountered a problem and needs to close, and Windows proceeds to try and find a solution but can find none.

EDIT: Found another free program that allows me to view OpenGL extensions, 3 of those 4 extensions aren't supported, but it seems that this is because I am running a very old version of OpenGL (1.1). However, when I tried to download & install the latest drivers from my video card manufacturer's website, the driver fails to install :( Not sure what to do now.

It doesn't appear in the Task Manager, and I've also tried verifying the install. :/

EDIT: also tried this: http://nifflas.lpchip.nl/index.php?topic=5984.0 and got almost the same result - the game still won't launch, but now the screen flickers black a couple times, like the game is trying to load.

Knytt Underground / Resolved: Knytt Won't Launch (Steam) (No Error, No Crash)

Hello, I just purchased Knytt Underground via Steam and was looking forward to playing it, however it won't launch at all. Upon trying to launch the game (either directly from Steam or from the game's desktop icon), nothing happens. I get the standard "Preparing to launch Knytt Underground..." dialogue that appears for every game, but it disappears after a split second and the game never launches. Looking in my system tray in the bottom right corner of my screen, the Steam icon shows that it's syncing game data as if I've actually played, and the game's info page in Steam shows that I've played it today.

I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the game running both Steam & the game "as administrator," and restarting my PC.

I'm running Windows 8.1 Pro 32 bit on an Intel Core 2 Duo 2.1 GHz processor with 3 GB of RAM and an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3650 video card (unsure how much video ram).
