OpenRA

I have a Lenovo R61 machine with a Mobile Intel 965 Video Chipset running Windows 7 Ultimate 32bit.

OpenRA completed installation but when I try to run it it crashes no matter what compatibility mode I select.

Please find below the exception/crash log. Any ideas on how we can solve this issue?

OpenRA requires your GPU to support OpenGL 2.1 or greater, and Intel/Microsoft do not support this for your system. It should work if you install Linux (which does provide basic driver support), but performance is probably not going to be very good.

This is unfortunate news since this system is more or less a strategy game machine running Red Alert 2, C&C Generals Zero Hour; Battlezone and CnCNET with no issues.

Performance is not really an issue in RA 1 on a Core2Duo.

Is there a way to emulate/force OpenGL 2.1 on Intel 965 chipsets besides running Linux for it?

Hi,

The same here. I use a Lenovo Miix 310. Which was the last version i can use?
