Good job I cancelled my order of Brink, just downloaded it from Steam for the free weekend and getting "The current video card / driver combination does not support OpenGL 3.1 or newer.".

 

[MYstIC G]

What card you got Bill because I've only got a 512mb 8800 and I don't get that.

 

[Billargh]

1gb Radeon 5770 HD. I tried installing the new drivers for it the other day when Conan was acting up, they gave my rig a panic attack though, blue screened and messed up my desktop. Been afraid to try again since

Driver issue then fella not Brink. Try a driver cleaner then fresh install.

 

[Billargh]

Fancy recommending me a decent driver cleaner then?

 

[MYstIC G]

Soz mate, thought I'd linked to the thread on the Splashdamage forums
PC The current video card/driver combination does not support OpenGL 3.1 or newer - Splash Damage Forums

There they suggest you clean with
Phyxion.net - Driver Sweeper

Then in Steam menus goto: Steam -> Check for Video Driver Updates
Which should take you to the latest driver update for your manufacturer.

 

[Billargh]

Cheers mate, that sorted it

I wonder if thats to piss off Steam.

 

[MYstIC G]

I'm actually tempted at £10 tbh. I'm not a huge Deux Ex junkie so wasn't prepared to pay more than £15 for it.
