Return to castle wolfenstein change resolution update#
I made this because I got tired of waiting for other software companies to update their own 3D software so that I can play a game at a modest Frame Rate. This Shader creates a "Stereoscopic Image," by warping both sides to a depth map provided by the game and accessed by Reshade's Wrapper.

The troubleshooting docs reference a safe mode short cut which doesn't exist (missing from installer?), deleting or editing the wolfconfig.cfg file which doesn't exist (game quits before creating it), and OpenGL stuff that seems obsolete (3dfx/Glade).Depth Map Based 3D post-process shader & Free VR Software

The GOG default install crashes on start up, and with the unofficial patch it quits with the error "GLW_StartOpenGL() - could not load OpenGL subsystem". Also hope GOG updates the readme file, Support page, and eventually the buggy auto config script. Note, in troubleshooting this there are references to starting in "safe mode" but that seems to be missing from the GOG installer, and I did not find a reference to command line switches for either "safe mode" or "windowed mode", any of which would have made this easier. Step 5: Restart the game and start the campaign to ensure its in good working order. Do NOT use the "set recommended" or "default", for me this causes the game to quit with the same "could not load OpenGL subsystem" error, but the game restarts fine, so I'm guessing it doesn't save those settings to the config file.

At the main menu (hit esc to skip the intro video), click "options", then click "system", and adjust the graphics settings to taste, maximum, including switch to full screen. Step 4: Start the game, at this point it should run fine in windowed mode (again, if not, you have some other problem). Note, further changes will probably be overwritten in step 4. Edit ~\Return to Castle Wolfenstein\Main\wolfconfig.cfg, find the line "seta r_fullscreen", change the "1" to a "0", and save & close. Step 3: Edit ~\Return to Castle Wolfenstein\Main\autoexec.cfg, delete the lines pasted in step 1 (so only "set devdll 1" remains), and save & close. Check for the ~\Return to Castle Wolfenstein\Main\wolfconfig.cfg file - if this file was NOT created then this solution has failed, start over or try something else. In my case, I received the same "GLW_StartOpenGL() - could not load OpenGL subsystem" error, but it may run in software mode with poor performance, in either case exit as soon as possible (forum comments indicate software mode is unstable, including hard lockups). Note, credit for this config goes to a thread Google found on the Steam forums, unfortunately for them they gave up without trying windowed mode to get it running (not my first run in with bad auto config on old games.). Feel free to adjust the custom height and width to your desired resolution. Step 1: Open ~\Return to Castle Wolfenstein\Main\autoexec.cfg in notepad (or Notepad++), paste the following lines to the end (on new lines after "set devdll 1" ), and save the file. Solution (summary): Add some lines to autoexec.cfg to use software render to create the wolfconfig.cfg file, disable software render in autoexec.cfg, edit wolfconfig.cfg file to enable windowed mode (essentially safe mode), start game then use settings menu to adjust settings as needed including switch back to full screen. Theory (cause): Bad auto-config script, which can be bypassed using in-game config menu.

Note, specs and driver versions are mostly irrelevant, if you can run other Id Tech OpenGL based games without problems then it fits with this case. and- no other OpenGL related problems experienced on this Windows PC. The troubleshooting docs reference a safe mode short cut which doesn't exist (missing from installer?), deleting or editing the wolfconfig.cfg file which doesn't exist (game quits before creating it), and OpenGL stuff that seems obsolete (3dfx/Glade).Īfter wasting a few hours on troubleshooting - which GOG should have already documented in both an updated readme and support page - the following solution got it running.Ĭase (scenario): Fresh default install which crashes on startup -and- with the unofficial patch installed it quits with the "could not load OpenGL subsystem" error, -and- it did not create ~\Return to Castle Wolfenstein\Main\wolfconfig.cfg.
