After searching the web I have found a lot of people complaining about the same crash info.:
GL_ARB_draw_elements_base_vertex not available
My laptop is using a nVidia GeForce 330M video card not an ATI, and the drivers installed do not use this Catalyst Control Center like ATI cards... Driver manipulation like disabling Triple Buffering is not available with the nVidia Control Panel provided as part of the driver for the card. With the nVidia Control Panel for Win7 all I'm able to do is manipulate the color and resolution and setup multiple displays as well as enable/disable PhysX configuration. Perhaps this Triple Buffering can be enabled/disabled through PhysX instead.
Anyone else with this same issue.... Crash at startup.
STEPS I HAVE TAKEN TO RESOLVE THIS:
- Installed the RAGE-UPDATE.....PROBLEM NOT FIXED GAME STILL ERRORS OUT.
- nVidia Geforce Driver update.... WILL NOT INSTALL FOR THE GeForce GT 330M Video Card that is in my laptop....
I downloaded this new beta driver for my laptop.
When I try to install 285.38-notebook-win7-winvista-64bit-international-beta.exe I get this:
NVIDIA Installer cannot Continue
This graphics driver could not find compatible graphics hardware.
I even tried to extract it to a folder then used Device Manager... Display Adapters... Update Driver... I browse to this directory, where I extracted it too and still "Windows has determined the driver software for your device is up to date."
NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M... This is B.S... ID software are [censored]s for putting a game out on the market with so many problems...
This Laptop is perfectly fine... Every game I've thrown at it, its been able to play.... No problems so far... Except with this piece of crap by ID soft. Besides for just over $500, tax included, where can you get a touch screen laptop? I've played Darksiders (1&2), Dead Space (1&2), Crysis (1&2), Fear (1,2&3), Bioshock (1&2),,,lots more... So my pc isn't the problem its ID Soft... trying to port a Console Game to a PC Game... They F...UP.
When I select to go back to this link: http://www.nvidia.com/Download/Find.aspx?lang=en-us
This is what is displayed to me automatically. So I'm pretty damn sure I selected the correct driver to download.

They can't fix the problems they just delete people's posts where they're complaining about this work of art.
Had a prior post like this but it as I can see now has been deleted. INSTEAD OF DELETING THE POSTS FIX THE F'''N PROBLEMS WITH YOUR GAME...
