Can't update drivers

[Luis Oneto]

Hi i'm new, im trying to play but i have the ati radeon hd 4300/4500 series, and altitude needs to me to update the drivers, but ati doesnt do more updates for my card! sorry for my english ! Help please!

I've got the same problem, but I see it differently. It appears my drivers are not marked as compatible. NVidia updated their drivers two days ago, and Altitude believes I don't have the most up to date driver.

Still can't play Altitude. Three days old video driver isn't good enough.

Please try reinstalling from this link: http://nimblygames.com/altitude/altitude_201.exe

With the provided file, the error persisted, and log files all appear just as they had.

Based on this list of OpenGL applications, these I had (all ran):
Awesomenauts
Aquaria
Bastion
Minecraft
Trine 2
World of Goo
Google Sketchup
Dota2

Also tried to run Altitude's map editor, and it closes just after launch.

Using DoctorGL 1.3a, I find that my OpenGL version is 4.4.0

Using GeForce's website to revert to 320.49, Altitude works fine. Using the latest NVidia drivers prevents Altitude from running.

Other people have noted the same problem on other products.

Via GeForce site, "Manual Driver Search" with "Recommended/Certified" selected along with your video card/OS etc.

When I launch the game via steam, the logo shows for a bit, then before a second has passed, Altitude.exe has closed. Bypassing steam allows Altitude to run fine. The above dl also runs fine, allowing me to get to a login screen.

dont download specific drivers for nvidia cos they have their own programme for graphics which keeps it up to date. for old radeon graphics updates you can check online the ones for the newer ones tend to work if they are compatible. they wont just kill off any graphics card unless it has no use like the original nvidia cards from 10 years ago lol

If I follow your instructions, then I can't play Altitude. The app they use to recommend updates to the latest version is GeForce Experience. It wants me to update to a driver that prevents Altitude from launching. If I do the opposite of what you say, then I can play Altitude.
