Broken Sword 5 cannot launch - 01/13/14 12:13 PM

I get an error when I try to open the BS5.exe file saying:

glGetIntegerv(GL_MAX_TEXTURE_SIZE, &s_maxTextureSize)
src/system/system_gl.cpp(202)

glGetError()= 0x00000502
GL_INVALID_OPERATION



I have Nvidia GTX460M graphics in my Asus gaming laptop
everything is up to date for drivers
tried running in Administration mode
tried restarting computer
tried re downloading graphics card and all to no avail

please help
any suggestions are greatly appreciated

Seems to be an OpenGL error.

Other than uninstalling and reinstalling the game, I'm not sure what to try besides what you've listed. Could an antivirus be blocking the game?

If the problem is that your drivers don't support OpenGL properly, possibly you could use desktop drivers that are tweaked to run on laptops from http://laptopvideo2go.com/

But this is a little beyond me.
Can you email game support?

I have emailed the production company (revolution) with screenshots of the error and my specs from GPU-Z program but that was over a week ago and still no reply from them


I have re installed the game multiple times and still nothing but was a good suggestion smile

You aren't the only one with the problem

Hopefully they're working on it.
In the meantime, maybe check whether your current drivers are OpenGL compliant.

This link seems to list which driver versions are fully compliant
