![]() Why am I ranting on a programming language forum? Well, I was kinda hoping you'd help me out: I had read an article, written back in 2002, which stated that 1.1 was "ancient!". Let me be clear about this: it was released all the way back before I was even born, in 1997. What I was about to see would pretty much shock me. So I searched Google for the upteenth time about how to figure out what versions of the OpenGL were supported on my card, and I installed this piece of software called Geeks3D GPU Caps Viewer to find out. Having to download the Intel Driver update program thing, scan my graphics driver, suggest an update which failed to install for an "unknown reason" (ra, I hate those errors!!!) which meant that I mustn't have the right graphics card, forget driver. I felt myself making the same steps I made that time before with Dolphin. I would like to play this game (which was hard enough to set-up for numerous reasons), but unfortunately, after a bit of deciphering of the error codes it spew, it turned out that I didn't have the right version of OpenGL. That definitely wasn't easy, but we (that is, me and my dad) managed to fix the problem. Luckily, with the help of an ethernet cable (my wi-fi screwed up, of all things! AND my computer is really far away from the wifi-repeater we have!.), I managed to reinstall Windows 10 and set-up a system restore point (this certainly taught me a lesson about losing access to your computer!). In trying to fix the issue (which I will highlight later), I think I ended up breaking my computer. My card/computer can play games, but only to a certain level (I can play things like agar.io fine, and using a version of Dolphin lower than 5 works satisfactorily).īut obviously, I preferred to have the latest version of Dolphin I could. Good enough for what, you may ask? Well, I couldn't run Dolphin 5.0 because it didn't support the OpenGL version it required. Last year I had experienced issues with my graphics card not being "good" enough. This has absolutely nothing to do with Free BASIC the only reason I'm posting here is because I've reached a dead end and I'm hoping some of you guys are knowledgeable in this realm of hardware, and I don't know of any techy forums out there except this one (using the term "techy" loosely).Īnyway, let's start this story, shall we? Where to begin.
