Post by: BTAxis on June 04, 2006, 05:14:03 pm: That's an old card, though it should be able to handle Quake 2. But maybe it doesn't have enough VRAM for UFO:AI? mattn would have to answer that one. Otherwise, I don't know what could be the problem.

This is an attempt to use an un-initialise (null) pointer to function. I don't know the code (I'm in the middle of checking it out with svn), but it looks like the problem is in the ref_gl.dll.
