Unable to Open using Windows 8

[thezoidberg]

Hello All,

Hoping somebody might have some insight into why OpenRa crashes when I attempt to open it. I'm using Windows 8 with a relatively new Dell Laptop from a few years ago.

Running the following:
C:\Program Files\OpenRA\OpenRA.Game.exe Graphics.Renderer=Cg

Manages to bring up what looks like a title screen that says 'splitting atoms' which then immediately closes.


Here are the error logs:

Exception of type `System.InvalidOperationException`: OpenGL Error: See graphics.log for details.

Any thoughts?

Most likely nothing to do with Windows 8. See OpenRA/wiki/FAQ under '"No Valid Techniques" or "Unsupported GPU"'. Intel 945 isn't really supported under Windows. I'd be surprised if the Windows 8 driver has received any updates (from Windows 7).
