Running XP Pro here with my Radeon 32mb DDR . Have had problems RIGHT FROM THE START with trying to get Cataclysm to SHOW any other mode other than software rendering mode. I've tried numerous driver versions for the Radeon and I still have the problem. Homeworld itself works BEAUTIFULLY and shows all 3 modes. Anyone esle haveing a problem with this......PLEASE help....needing my Cataclysm !!!

Getting tired of Quake, Sam, UT and HL !

Also believe I'm running the latest patch as well !

lol MB Posts his reply as I go to start mine... yeah go to that thread.

The short version is use the compatibility mode that Kelvin mentioned in the other thread (right click shortcut, to properties, to the compatibility tab, choose Win NT 4 SP5) and it should show OpenGL.
