This is odd. I have a g4/400 with a Radeon8500 (agp). Trying to launch my brand new copy of SOFII and I get an error that it can't initialize OpenGL, etc. I'm pretty sure that my vid card supports OpenGL, so what gives? Any help?

Did you try the new ATI drivers? Are you running OS X 10.1.5? or 10.2? or 10.2.1? Did you try rebooting?

I tried it before and after the latest drivers (October). I'm on Jaguar 10.2.1 (latest) and I did reboot numerous times.

Quake 3 randomly did that to me once as well. To fix it I went to my home directory/Library/Application Support/Soldier of Fortune 2/base/ then delete the file called "sof2sp.cfg" or if multiplayer won't launch go into the Soldier of Fortune MP Directory instead.
