video card issues on steam


(redbackpackboy) #1

Hey all,

This is the message I am getting when I am trying to launch brink in steam client.

The current video card / driver combination does not support open GL 3.1 or newer.

I doubt that will ever run on your laptop, just as the error says your videocard (which is actually just a little chip on your motherboard, not a “card” itself) is not supporting OpenGL 3.1. This videocard is not suited for the latest games! :confused:

I’m afraid the Intel GMA HD chips for laptops don’t support OpenGL 3.1 which is required to run Brink. (Wikipedia - Intel GMA (specification)) I’m sorry but you’re laptop simply can’t run the game.
