Problems with the opengl video driver

by turtleStew » Post

For some reason the opengl video driver setting results in some weird graphics with anything above the player being drawn several times and not being cleared and redrawn as it should. The only driver which works in the list is the "burningsvideo" driver. My machine has an Intel i3 with 4gb ram, no graphics card running Windows 10 home. Are there any settings which I can tweak or will I have to wait until I get a card?

It's just the clouds. What happens if you turn it off.

Check what kind of graphics chip you're using, then download and install a recent driver from the seller or manufacturer. If burningsvideo is really the only render which works for you, then you've either attached your monitor cable to a toaster or Windows as no clue what kind of graphics card it is. If the computer information does not tell you enough about the exact graphics card for the driver research, consider installing Everest Home Edition, which gives you detailed information about the entire system.

PS: Passed the exe file through Virustotal and it's clean.

I'm using the integrated graphics provided by the i3 as I said in the original post. Last I checked I had the most recent driver but I'll check again and post more detailed information later

Won't that only work with Nvidea graphics though? Anyways my cpu is an i3-1600 and my graphics are the integrated Intel HD Graphics 530 and there is a driver update but it's not compatible and Lenovo doesn't have an updated version. I'll have to get a graphics card sometime.
