Hi guys,
One of my friends is trying to run my game on his computer. It worked fine for a while, but then he reinstalled his computer and since then, he can't get the game to work.
I don't visit him often, he lives a little far, so I can't try his computer to find the problem. When he runs the exe (he knows where to put the files, dlls, etc), he gets this error:
System.ApplicationExeption: openGL version. 1.2 is required; your version is : 3.0.0
I don't know how to help him. Anyone has already seen this error?
Thanks for your time! :)

Two thoughts: 1) Try installing the latest video drivers from the video hardware manufacturer's web site.
2) Refer / post to this thread on the OpenTK forums
http://www.opentk.com/node/1040 (http://www.opentk.com/node/1040)
It talks about the code that is used to get the OpenGL version.

Thanks, I'll look into this. :)

Well, the latest drivers don't change anything.
I looked around in the OpenTK forum and I found this thread:
http://www.opentk.com/node/806 (http://www.opentk.com/node/806)
Could it be possible that I still have an old version of OpenTK? I looked in the properties of the OpenTK dll and it says 0.9.1. I guess that's the problem!
Is it because you never updated the SGDK2.1 version to use the 0.9.6 version of OpenTK? Do I have an old SGDK2.1 version and I should update it? The properties of the SGDK2.1 program says I have version 2.1.0.1.
What do you suggest bluemonkmn? :)
-
Well, the problem definitely is the version of the OpenTK.dll. I downloaded another version of the dll (0.9.8 I think), sent it to my friend and it works now. :)

I suppose I should re-release SGDK2 in its current state. The current download links lead to SGDK 2.0 because 2.1 is in beta. But it doesn't seem to be going anywhere and I think is not worse than 2.0, so I should probably make that the main version right now.
-
Oh, I surprised to learn that 2.1 is still in beta: it works fine and it's very stable. :surprise:
-
That is definitely a driver issue, I would suggest hardware but you said it used to work.
Latest drivers aren't always the best, particularly with old cards.

sometimes beta means it has all the features, but may still have bugs.
i actually thought it was released too. strange...
-
The reason I left it in Beta is because some of the features don't work in Linux, which is one of the main features of 2.1. I thought we might get somewhere in resolving those issues, but I guess we haven't and maybe won't, so I might as well go with what we've got.

I uploaded a new version of SGDK2, but they totally changed the file release process so it's going to take me a little longer than I expected (don't have time right now) to figure out how to turn that into an actual release.
Looks like you might be able to download the file anyway, though -- SGDK212.zip. But I haven't figured yet how to fully control how/where that file is listed.
