Wurm unstable client crash at startup [SOLVED]

[Juqni 0]

The unstable client crashes whenever i log in. It goes trough all the loading screens but when the game is fully loaded, it crashes. I should have the latest version of Java so it shouldn't be because of that.

Here's the crash log:

Failed to configure pbuffer The error was: <Could not create context (WGL_ARB_create_context)>


It's possible you might figure out what's wrong from the log file below, but if you can't, post the full log on the wurm online forums, and someone else might be able to help you.

Hello there,

I remember I was having exactly same crash message first time I tried changing from stable to unstable. Havent managed to solve what was causing this, but I deleted my configs (move the X:/WurmOnline/configs to some other place to back them up) and then when I ran Unstable client again, it re-created new default config which then started completely fine without a crash.

No idea if its same case as yours, but may be worth trying.

[Juqni 0]

Nope, didn't do the trick. The same exact crash log again. Thanks anyway

[Taldeer 0]

I noticed there are several of these messages trough the forum, all from users with ATI cards like you and me.

Since I have unstable running on my ATI card let me add few things that I do pretty often and than could have potentially resolved my issue too.

1. I often use CCleaner (which is free disk and registry cleaner) which among other things deletes Java cache and forces Wurm to re-dowload some data. I can imagine that having old cache and mixing stable and unstable could potentially cause some troubles.

2. Im experimenting with lots of different Catalyst drivers, and Wurm especially is giving me headage. Some drivers wont start Wurm at all, some causes me BSODs, some are giving me 20 FPS drops or major loading lags when running trough world. Only few versions from about 8-10 different ones I tried were running great, and it was either older Catalyst drivers or Omega (unofficial) drivers. I dont have same graphic card as you, but I can imagine that certain driver + card combinations could have problems with it, especially when Unstable uses different renderer.

This is from wiki:

    - Make sure you are using Catalyst 9.12 or newer.

        - If your card is too old, use Catalyst 9.3 or older.

        - Catalyst 9.4 through 9.11 have OpenGL memory leaks.

    - Disable Catalyst AI

    - Set antialiasing (AA) and anisotropic filtering (AF) to game-controlled.

This is from your log:

  Adapter info: atidxx32 (8.15.10.183)

If this is your Catalyst version (?), try newer ones, seeing as you have Radeon HD card.

[Juqni 0]

Yeah, updating my drivers did the trick. I should've just done that before coming and ask for help

Thanks a lot for the help!

[Taldeer 0]

Glad to hear its running,

mind giving us info which version of Catalyst you tried that is working with your ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4570 in Unstable? For future reference

I can add that for me with archaic x1650 Pro AGP latest Omega drivers and 8.6 Catalysts are giving me optimal performance / no issues.

[Wollschaf 17]

Please try if you are able to log in (to the test server) using the test client if the driver update does not help.

I believe it's the 11-3 version of catalyst.
