My laptop do not support opengl higher than 1.1 and the defold engine needs opengl 2.0 how to fix this problem?
If your computer is able to run OpenGL 2.0 then you need to find an update for your video card on the site from the manufacturer. If that does not work you will need a better/new video card.
Can i change video card.
And by changing video card can i fix the problem.
First of all you can check, maybe your video card has newer drivers, that supports opengl 2.0
I checked
But the driver is up to date
Well, if your drivers are up to date and the card doesn’t support Open GL 2.0 then you’re out of luck. You need to buy new hardware. I’m also guessing that other specs are fairly low. Defold works better with a lot of RAM for instance.

Should i change video card or the whole system.
It depends on the system. What kind of computer is it? Desktop or laptop? CPU, RAM, Harddrive, OS?
Laptop, windows 8.1, hard 160 , ram 4gb
Well, if its a laptop then you’re not able to upgrade your graphics card… Really surprising that it doesn’t support Open GL 2.0 though… Whats the make and model of your laptop?
Dell e6400 letitude
That machine should have an Intel GMA 4500MHD. If it’s this one: https://www.cnet.com/products/dell-latitude-e6400-14-1-core-2-duo-p8700-vista-business-xp-pro-downgrade-2-gb-ram-160-gb-hdd-series/specs/
The Intel GMA GPU should support Open GL 2.1: https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Intel_GMA

@khalilurehman76 Those pictures mention you have Open GL 1.1 support currently installed. But have you updated the drivers as suggested? You currently have driver version 8.15.10.2702 installed, is that the latest drivers?

Did you run the program as administrator? Have you tried running the program in compatibility mode as well?
This video explains how you run a program in compatibility mode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4kawSjcHD5I

Awesome! Good luck with your game! If your game is in development and you can talk about it, feel free to share your story in the dev diary section. Or if you can’t talk about it but already published the game you can post a new showcase or write a post in the #madewithdefold thread.
Don’t hesitate to ask any questions!
