Your Current Video car/driver does not support OpenGL 3.1 or newer. What do?

(devilsboy005) #1

Every time I try to start BRINK I get an error message pop up that says

Your current video card/driver configuration does not support OpenGL 3.1 or newer.

and info on how to fix this? heres my system specs. (this is my laptop btw I have a actual comp that can easily play brink 60 FPS but I am trying to get it to work on my laptop so that I can play it when I travel.)

Forget it. The Intel HD graphics (integrated solution) is not nearly fast enough to play at all, OpenGL 3.1 able or not.

Those integrated graphics are fine for spider solitaire, playing games from pre-2000 or watching movies. Playing actual games doesn’t work out.

then my computer must have the wrong graphics card in DXdiag labeled because I can play counter strike source of high quality with no framerate lag and I can play other new games by turning down the graphics but brink probably is a bit to much so ill just wait until I get home and use my desktop so I never have to see brink at 2 FPS
