Does not work. There is no graphics window opened!?!
But in D3D mode it works.

Is this a known bug?

Hello,

It seems that ATI does not support correctly OpenGL.
This is a know issue and you may find some information about OpenGL problems on ATI graphic card on the web.

Here are some tips you may try:

From 3DS Max:
- Switching you display driver from OpenGL to DirectX in 3DS Max may correct the problem.

From ATI:
- Download the latest graphic card driver.

From Windows:
- Disable graphic card acceleration. You may find this option in Windows Display Properties dialog (Select Settings tab > Advanced > Troubetips tab).

From Polygon Cruncher:
- You may modify the OpenGL mode using Tools > Preferences. Select Use an alternative mode and try any mode which includes the following flags:
PFD_DRAW_TO_WINDOW|PFD_SUPPORT_GDI|PFD_SUPPORT_OPENGL

I hope this help,
Manuel

I hope this tips help you.

Yours,
