Since Alpha 12, the game no longer works for me.

Does the computer require OpenGL 4 support?

Kromster801 year ago

At least OpenGL 3.3 is required.

From now on I believe that games that require newer Open GL versions than 3.0 will not work for me... :-(

Switching to Windows is an option perhaps?

JankoWeber1 year ago

I could install Windows Me.

I used that until 2019.

Does your GPU support OpenGL 3.3+ though? I suggested Windows cos it usually has better drivers , but if that's WinME it could be even worse.

I think my graphics cards even support Open GL 4.5,

but I use the open source driver Nouveau 1.0.12.
Have a look at what I wrote in the game GOBLiiiNS5 if you want. *?

I see, thanks for the reference. I'm a single developer and even though I could put some extra effort and likely step back back to OpenGL 3.0 - 3.1 (downwriting some of the render features), this would be an inefficient use of time for my effort. OpenGL 3.3 given me certain conveniences which I would prefer to be there in the engine and I could dedicate my limited development time into other areas (e.g. better AI and better SFX). :-)

I think I will survive this. :-/
