Need help with OpenGL

Trying to play SCUD Race on laptop (i7 2640M, HD3000), which supports up to OpenGL 3.1 (tested with FurMark and OpenGL Extensions Viewer), yet Supermodel refuses to even use the GPU

[Info] OpenGL information:

[Error] OpenGL 2.x does not appear to be present. Unable to proceed.

Supermodel insists to run on MS's GDI Generic drivers despite every other OpenGL 2+ software working.

Already did. Tried MS's auto update drivers, doesn't work. Tried this - https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en ... =hd%203000 - which is the latest available driver for HD3000 from intel, also doesn't work.

Tried direct reinstall, clean everything with DDU then install drivers, same issue. Every other OpenGL applications and games work (tested with FurMark), only Supermodel doesn't.

That's...bizarre. I'm not familiar with this particular model of Intel GPU but there must be a way to obtain OpenGL drivers. Pretty sure all Intel iGPUs support OpenGL 2.x.

I'm guessing you aren't actually running it from a command prompt window. What happens if you actually open a command prompt window manually and run Supermodel as:

Code: Select all
supermodel -print-gl-info


?

If you aren't familiar with command prompt, the full set of commands will be:

Code: Select all
g:\
cd "Model 3\Supermodel_0.3a-svn-882_Win64"
supermodel -print-gl-info

Hmm... I've never quite seen anything like this. I don't think this is a Supermodel-specific issue. Supermodel just uses SDL2 to access OpenGL. Curious whether there is another SDL2-based app that can be tried to see if a similar thing happens there.

I did some Googling and this issue comes up in some other contexts for people. In one case it happened in a Python app with a GL renderer. But they had the ability to switch GL backends. I don't think there is anything like this in SDL2.

Another site mentioned that changing the color depth in your display settings from 16- to 32-bit might help. Is it even possible that you are running at such a low color depth? (I didn't think that was an option these days.)

Got it working. It's a Windows issue - for whatever reason the drivers for Windows 10 doesn't give full OpenGL support and thus breaks compatibility with a lot of OpenGL softwares. For whatever reason the programs I chose to test things actually works, but the problem is actually quite a widespread issue that can be fixed using Windows ADK - https://gist.github.com/rb-dahlb/26f316 ... 44ee69f0d1

Basically another point against Wintel, they're purposefully gimping the iGPU drivers, I guess to push hardware upgrades. After following the guide above though Supermodel actually runs.

Glad you got it working. This is the first I've heard of the ADK.
