I have the Intel® 82815 Graphics Controller fully updated version.
I just bought the game Savage today.
When I went to run the game it told me I had an error with my OpenGL driver (Microsoft Corp. GDI Generic v1.1.0) whatever. So I updated the driver and that fixed that.
Then, I went to run it again, and it told me I had an error with my Intel Intel Solano v1.1.2 - Build 4.13.01.31** (whatever) and I needed OpenGL v1.2 to run the game.
I can’t find an upgrade for it anywhere!! Can anyone PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE tell me how to upgrade from version 1.1 to 1.2?

And did you read the part about the minimum system requirements?
Video: GeForce or Radeon series graphics cards
Required…
Sorry but the integrated 3d Intel has to offer is a piece of crap (thats true for all integrated 3d chipset available). They are slower then the slowest AGP card.
The Solano (82815) is an very old chip to. I had one of those 2 or 3 years ago. I was barely able to play Q3A with it. To give you some numbers:
It had a pratical fillrate of around 50MP (Megapixel per second). Even my stone old Geforce1 did 175MP, the Geforce3 did around 500MP and a ATI 9700 Pro goes well beyound >1200MP.
Not to mention that the Solano only offers only a handfull of 3d features, while today cards have a countless amount of additional eyecandy (Bumpmapping, Cubemapping, T&L, Pixelshader, Vertexshader, 3d Textures, Stencilbuffers, P-Buffers, FSAA, Anisotropic filtering, and the list goes on).
The reason the Solano does not support OpenGL 1.2 is that it doesnt have the abilities that are required for OpenGL.
If your board was a AGP slot just buy a Geforce2MX for around 20$.

The reason I bolded recommended is because if you are buying a GeForce card, 95% of the time TODAY it will at least be a GeForce4.
Now a GeForce4 is about 8 TIMES as powerful as that POS Intel(R) 82815 integrated video controller you have in your computer. So, what I’m trying to tell you over and over is that you will NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES BE ABLE TO PLAY WITH YOUR CRAPPY INTEGRATED VIDEO. PERIOD. END OF STORY.
Well i just bought the game also …and i need to know where to get an updated version of OpenGL instead of version 1.1…i need like 1.2 at least…im running win xp and i got all the requirements
