I use Standard VGA Graphics Adapter. I don't know if that's the problem :(

That's not going to work. You need to download the latest video card drivers for whatever model you have in there. The default Standard VGA Adapters have very little support for OpenGL.

In case you really, really can’t use anything else and want to play UrT no matter what, you can try forcing software rendering. The simplest way would be making a shortcut for the UrT binary, right-clicking it, and adding +set r_texturemode GL_NEAREST to the “Target” line, like this:


C:\Games\UrbanTerror\ioUrbanTerror.exe +set r_texturemode GL_NEAREST



Back on my ancient laptop, I played Quake 3 this way:-P It should actually be faster than default, Quake 3 engine doesn’t use graphics card all that much anyway. It will look weird though, the large oldschool pixels being the least of your problems (trilinear vs software rendering side by side):

Could you please download an Information tool called speccy @ http://www.piriform.com/speccy

and tell us what graphics card you have installed in your pc (this tool will tell you).

you definetly need a graphics driver installed, you currently have the microsoft generic driver, which is only really meant to get you a desktop to install a proper one. Is your PC a desktop or a Laptop?
