Help me fill up/correct this chart by identifying every *drv.dll in your games' System/ folders. Most of it is constructed out of memory, and some of it has unreleased games (DNF 🤣 was only listed from info in an old article in this case)

Ignore the UE2 section.

Yes. "OpenGL for Unreal version "E"" as the separate installer.

By the way, here's a web site that offers updated OpenGL and Direct3D 8/9 drivers for UT, Deus Ex and Rune:

And Direct3D 10/11 renderers:

I had the problem with those updated renderers that they do not run on my older systems.
Maybe they need a SSE capable CPU or something else...
There is no word anywhere on system requirements though.

Adventure Pinball: Forgotten Island (version 420, Classic):
D3DDrv.dll
GlideDrv.dll
MeTalDrv.dll
SoftDrv.dll
This is the re-release, so maybe the original version is utilising a fewer renderers.

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine - the Fallen:
D3DDrv.dll
GlideDrv.dll
MeTaLDrv.dll
OpenGLDrv.dll
SoftDrv.dll

Star Trek: the Next Generation - Klingon Honor Guard (version 1.0):
GlideDrv.dll
SGLDrv.dll
SoftDrv.dll
The 1.1 patch is adding D3DDrv.dll and OGlDrv.dll

Hired Guns 2, Jazz Jackrabbit 3d and Duke Nukem Forever (original version, not the "when it's done") - had been not released.

Don't have Disney's Brother Bear, Dr.Brain: Action Reaction, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone or Tactical Ops: Assault on Terror.

UTGLR does indeed use SSE by default, but turning it off in the ini worked fine for me at least on a newer system. However, I could still imagine that it demands a newer OpenGL version than the original renderer, analogical to the D3D9 one...

Eight more games to go!

... counting Gamecollector's most recent submission, only five! 😁

(plus a few empty squares, not sure what that's about)

He's including leaked betas in his list it seems, I know for sure Jazz Jackrabbit 3D and Hired Guns 2 exist as leaked alphas/betas.

Also am thinking the DNF entry is most likely inaccurate. No Software renderer? No OpenGL?
