Failed allocating HDR buffer

Everytime I try to play, the game crashes with the error message:

Failed allocating HDR buffer

Even if I just click on player setup this happens. I'm running Win7. Please help, I wanna play!

Re: Failed allocating HDR buffer

What GPU do you have? It should say in the console when starting up Tesseract.

Your GPU may be too old to play it.

NVidia GeFoce GT540M, 2GB VAM

Bought 2 years ago. Not high class, but it runs Sauerbraten fine.

Make sure you have OpenGL drivers installed. Go to nvidia.com and download. You probably only have DirectX drivers for your card installed.

Re: Failed allocating HDR buffer

Drivers was a good point. It's a notebook that automatically switches between onboard and high performance GPU. Looks like it failed to do so for Tesseract. I forced the high performance card manually, now it uns smoothly. Thanks :)

Don't know if there should be something in the code to notify the operating system about high graphics need.
