Can't Start LDPartEditor - G.D. Grant - 2021-10-05 Greetings all. Can't start LDPartEditor... Here's the error log: Code: [LDPartEditor RELEASE ] Started on Tue Oct 05 12:58:34 EDT 2021 As you can see in the log, the splash screen has time to show up a few seconds before the program crashes. I'm running a Windows 10 Pro 64 bit machine with no GPU and an Intel i2 CPU. Thanks in advance for any help! God bless. -- G. D. Grant RE: Can't Start LDPartEditor - Orion Pobursky - 2021-10-06 It's definitely graphics related and having no GPU is prolly the issue. Whatever software OpenGL driver is on your machine doesn't seem to support some needed feature of OpenGL 2.0 RE: Can't Start LDPartEditor - G.D.

Whatever software OpenGL driver is on your machine doesn't seem to support some needed feature of OpenGL 2.0 OK. I had my doubts too. Now, given that my PC tells me that "all your drivers are up to date," I'm not running LDPartEditor on my machine till I get a GPU, is that right? Or is there some hack out of this (the latter sounds cooler to me 😎)? Thanks for your help! -- G. D. Grant RE: Can't Start LDPartEditor - Roland Melkert - 2021-10-06 (2021-10-06, 14:03)G.D.

Or is there some hack out of this (the latter sounds cooler to me 😎)? Do note, you can't really use a pc without a graphics card of some kind (most boards won't even boot without one). So most likely your cpu has an integrated graphics card. But given its age, it might be of a very low OpenGL version, or worse it has a 'lazy' OpenGL driver. A decent driver would do in software the things the hardware doesn't do in order to confirm to a specific GL version (2.1 most likely when using very old hardware). So the main question is what minimal version of OpenGL does LDPartEditor need. RE: Can't Start LDPartEditor - Orion Pobursky - 2021-10-06 Roland brings up a good point. What's your CPU? |
