Just get the latest drivers for your card, cause it seems that they're missing

Oh wait, shouldn't you try the old atioglxx.dll thing? Cause weren't the ATI drivers that messed up OpenGL?

Afaik that issue should've been fixed in version 10.7/10.8, not sure what they're at now. Can't tell if he has an ATI card anyway.

As for the download issues, make sure you set those vars in both your etmain and noquarter (nitmod now) configs;

Code: Select all
cl_allowDownload 1
cl_wwwDownload 1
