Hi, i used love2d before in my xubuntu linux. after moving to windows again for particular reasons, when i open love2d, it throws an error about opengl version. Im using the same device before and right now. Is there any workaround?

Re: OpenGl problem after moving to Windows
That can mean two things. One option is that the device manager is correct. In that case, that means that there are no up-to-date drivers for your graphics card on windows, but they are available on linux. That's rare, but it could happen.yetneverdone wrote:device manager says the driver is up to date
The other option is that the device manager is incorrect. In that case, locating the drivers and installing them should fix the issue. That would be my bet.
When I write def I mean function.

Re: OpenGl problem after moving to Windows
that's odd. I believe, from my 3 months experience with linux, is that theres no driver update thingy in linux? just librarieskikito wrote:That can mean two things.

Re: OpenGl problem after moving to Windows
Something similar happened to me, where it used OpenGL 1.1 Windows driver instead of the Intel one, I had to download a Windows 7 driver which had a version prior, so it was kinda a downgrade, but that driver actually supported a newer OpenGL version.
Other option as Kikito said is that your GPU doesn't have up to date Windows drivers... That is a real problem and has no solution. This can happen specially with old Intel GPUs which tend to be deprecated faster in Windows than Linux. Anyway more information can be appreciated, like what GPU you have? what version of Windows you have? what version and distribution of Linux you has? what does your driver provider says? what does your Linux driver says?

Indeed, my laptop is somewhat old. I will try to use other software to update my drivers since the intel provided one does not work. If nothing still happens, i will move back to linux, and maybe try lubuntu now.

Re: OpenGl problem after moving to Windows
You can also use LÖVE 0.9.2 which supports even lower OpenGL versions
