City of Heroes Help...PLEASE...

[Grawr]

Alright, m' brother just got the PC game "City of Heroes"...now, I don't know if any of you have played this one, but we started installing it or...something...well, whatever we did it took about two hours to load up. Then, guess what, after we waited all that time, it said that city of heroes can't work because....well, this is what came up:

"Your card or driver doesnt support GL_EXT_complied_vertex_array"
"Your card or driver doesnt support GL_ARB_multitextrue"
"Your card or driver doesnt support GL_ARB_texture_compression"
"Detected video card or driver is currently unsupported NVIDIA GeForce2. The game may run poorly or not at all with your current configuration. Current system requirements are NVIDIA GeForce2 or better, ATI Radeon 8500 or better, or an Intel GMA 900 or better. (If your card does not meet the minimum requirements, you might not have the latest drivers...etc, etc,"

Does anyone have any idea as to what I should do to get this game to work?!?!?

My guess, based on the errors, you need a better graphics card..
try this site:

Pick city of heroes.

I don't mean to double post, but we got the graphics card and we're havin' some huge troubles figuring out how to put the card into the tower thing... >_<

I'll edit this post with the results of whatever the outcome is, whether we accidentally bust the tower, or if we can get the graphics card in. >_<

Let me just say one thing:

Detected video card or driver is currently unsupported NVIDIA GeForce2.

... you're trying to play something with a GeForce 2? :lol: Dude, those things are ancient!

Look, I did a little research for you. Here are the system requirements for City of Heroes, plucked from Wikipedia:

Windows

 

[JJRamone2]

yeah basically you need a new video card. I used to be running on the one you're using now, If your computer was good enough it could run Half Life 2 with next to no lag, but now it just won't cut it.

 

[Grawr]

Thanks for the help guys! And thanks for the research ya' did there, Kaz.

The game is up and running now! All we need now is for my brother to pass the tutorial...its pretty long. >_<
