Ronald,
I had the exact same problem. What I had to do was link the opengl
drivers to the new ones in the directory that Heretic2 recognizes as the
opengl directory....after I applied the latest "dynamic" style patch.
There are two patches available for Heretic 2, one is static and the
other is the dynamic version. The patch you are looking for is
"heretic2-dynamic-1.06a-x86.run".
The links in the Heretic2 directory should end up looking like this:
[elx@tamriel gl_drivers]$ pwd
/usr/local/games/heretic2/gl_drivers
[hdl@tamriel gl_drivers]$ ls -ail
total 2068
4833293 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Mar 28 22:13 ./
5537804 drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 4096 Mar 31 00:09 ../
4833285 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 40 Mar 28 22:13 libGL.so
-> ../../../../../usr/lib/libGL.so.1.0.2802*
4833296 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 179120 Mar 4 10:51
libMesa30tnt.so*
4833295 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1918508 Mar 4 10:51
libMesa31.so*
[elx@tamriel gl_drivers]$
Note that I did a "relative" symlink (instead of absolute) to the Nvidia
opengl driver. Eh...I just noticed I need to upgrade that, since I have
the new Nvidia drivers, and if I install them this symlink will no
longer function, therefore Heretic2 will bomb.
Now after you get this working you can help me get the sound up and
running. ;)
I'm still working on that.
HTH !!
