I can't open intersect client

[jimdevl]

This is what it says, any help I have Intel hd graphics 3000 and as far as i know they are compatible with open gl 3.0.

[jcsnider]

Alpha versions used DirectX for rendering. Beta versions and everything onward use OpenGL for cross platform support.

 

You all are free to use Alpha versions but that won't make any future updated versions work on your machines :/

This is a MonoGame error that we pass onto the user. It tells us that your pc or some configuration is making it so that you cannot run our client.

 

Update your graphic drivers. Make sure you don't have LogMeIn or other remote desktop software running. (RDP breaks it too) Outside of that it's possible that your graphics can't handle the lighting/shading effects that MonoGame requires. You might be out of luck.

I have this same problem, my only solution is use an old version, actually only the alpha versions are working fine
In this type of case.
I recommend you using version alpha 1.9, im using this now and i haven't any problem. 

 

I await your results.

I have the latest version of my gpu drivers. I do not have any remote desktop software running, But ill check an oldler version, maybe that'll fix the problem.

Ok I'll check if that works.

Source party? Source party. But seriously you can try to make it use directx instead of opengl when the source comes out.

Yeah just downgrade  I forgot people still live in the dark ages and still use vb6 and run toasters haha

Actually i just checked i have opengl version 3.1 and dx 12. This might be a possible bug.

Thanks, for letting me know

i used beta 1 and this is the error log.

@jimdevl Yep you need to use alpha your pc doesn't support opengl

My pc is running opengl 3.1 and supports 3.0 too.

Can you post your results from running dxdiag?

In DxDiag will you click Save All Information and upload the .txt file it outputs?

@SPQR Panda It's all yours. Not sure what you're looking for in there.

 

@All: Intel and AMD drivers favor DirectX over OpenGL. Even though a driver can do everything we need it to in DirectX does NOT mean that it can do all of the same stuff in OpenGL. So there is a chance that your PC simply cannot do what we need it to. However, let's assume for a second that your PC does have the capabilities required; MonoGame can still fail to load due to the preset conditions that it checks for. The MonoGame community is talking about ways to make these restrictions less restrictive, but I can't guarantee that even if the error was bypassed that it would work.

ty for the reply, i seem to notice though that alpha works, but beta versions don't. I tried every version and that's the conclusion i came to.

[jcsnider]

In Alpha the Client & Editor both used DirectX.

 

In Beta the Client uses OpenGL and the Editor uses DirectX.

 

We are moving to OpenGL.. in the future both the client and editor will both use OpenGL.

here you go

@jimdevlIn the OpenGL extensions viewer please click "See details..." next to the version and then expand 3.0 -> Supported and tell me if GL_ARB_framebuffer_object is listed, or if it's listed under Unsupported.

Hmm ok. I'm thinking this is a bad error message from MonoGame, either giving wrong information or incomplete information

Nothing we can do at the moment as far as I'm aware. I don't have the hardware necessary to reproduce the issue and test a fix (assuming a workaround even exists).

[jcsnider]

Like I mentioned earlier.. there is a chance MonoGame might make changes to their library so it is more lenient on requirements (or does a better job detecting them). This is a MonoGame issue at it's core and there is nothing we can do about it on our side of things to bring you online.

The Intersect is also not running on my second PC. The OpenGL supported on my onboard graphics is 2.1. Now, my question is: The Intersect will not run in both OpenGL and DirectX? If the answer is yes, this is too bad... The graphics of the engine are not advanced. The right thing would be to run on any computer, so have support to DirectX and OpenGL. I hope an answer, thanks!!

Intersect requires OpenGL 3 with the aforementioned extensions, or a higher version.

We would need two separate projects and binaries for the client to support both, and that's because of how MonoGame works. Once source is released you are free to migrate the client to MonoGame's DirectX libraries, but we will never release anything other than the OpenGL client because it's already compatible with the most systems.

So no, Intersect will not support both. Older versions of Intersect used DirectX, newer versions use OpenGL. Because of MonoGame, the two are basically mutually exclusive, and we aren't going to go make the project source code even more complex than it already is to support an arguably small number of very outdated devices.
