If your version of Oni just crashed, take a look at that file (it's in your [[Installation#Installation folder|Oni folder]]). At the end, there should be a rather big list entitled GL extensions.

Problem is : that list is ''too long''; that's what makes Oni crash. Bungie folks made Oni dump that list to '''startup.txt''' with a small list size in mind, but recent GFX cards (more specifically their WinXP drivers) tell Oni to write more than what Bungie expected. | Problem is : that list is ''too long''; that's what makes Oni crash.
