Enemy Territory: Quake Wars Forum

This is my first time trying to use cx so please be nice.

Currently when I try to run the game I get this:

Failed to open server license code file for reading.
Initializing OpenGL subsystem
...registered window class
...registered fake window class
...calling LoadLibrary( 'opengl32' ): succeeded
...initializing QGL

Any help getting this working would be much appreciated.

You're going to need to give us as much information as possible before we can begin to help you.

Are you on a Mac? Snow Leopard? Running Linux?

What graphics card are you using?

Crossover Games 8?

Apologies.

Snow Leopard 10.6.1
GCard: Nvidia 9400M
Cross Over Games 8

What other information can I give that would be helpful?

That should be all we need, for now.

On Linux, it Just Works(tm) after installing it in to a clean bottle; I've heard rumours (and I know this sounds a bit odd, as it's an OpenGL game, but it's worth a go) that it won't work unless you install DirectX in to the bottle on a Mac.

To do this, go to the Configuration menu on your Crossover Games, and click the bottle you've installed Quake Wars to. Click Install Software, then "Show service packs and Dependencies". From this list choose Microsoft DirectX Runtime - Modern, and follow the prompts.

Once you've done this, try running the game again and let me know what the output is.

You may also want to ensure your graphics drivers are up to date, just as a matter of course.

Am I looking in the right place? It does not seem to be listed.

It would appear the Mac interface is slightly different to mine - I've never used the Mac version.

Cheers for the help anyway I'll try go through the official support. Usually I run ubuntu but I decided to try get this going on my work machine.
