Before You Start

Prerequisites: Administrator access to Windows, to install a graphics driver.; The name of your graphics card, which you can find in Device Manager under **Display adapters**.

Step-by-Step

  1. Open LDPlayer and click the menu button.
  2. Click Diagnostic information. Some versions label this item Diagnostics information.
  3. Find the OpenGL entry and note its version.
  4. Compare the version with the game's requirement. Games that use OpenGL ES 3.0 need OpenGL 4.3.0 or later. Games that use OpenGL ES 3.1 need OpenGL 4.5.0 or later.
  5. Open the support page for your graphics brand: [NVIDIA drivers](https://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us), [AMD support](https://www.amd.com/en/support), or [Intel graphics drivers](https://downloadcenter.intel.com/product/80939/Graphics-Drivers).
  6. Download the latest driver for your graphics card model.
  7. Install the driver.
  8. Restart the PC.
  9. Open LDPlayer, then open Diagnostic information again to confirm that the OpenGL version meets the requirement.
  10. Open Device Manager and expand Display adapters.
  11. Right-click your graphics card and select Uninstall device.
  12. Restart the PC, then install a fresh driver from the brand's support page in the previous section.
  13. Restart the PC again and check Diagnostic information.

## Overview OpenGL errors show up as a message that says the OpenGL version is too low, as OpenGL 1.1.0 or no OpenGL entry in diagnostics, or as an OpenGL ES 3.1 pop-up. They can block games and can also cause crashes or screen flicker. Updating the graphics driver usually fixes the problem. If it does not, uninstall the driver and install a fresh copy.

## Why this works LDPlayer relies on the graphics driver to provide OpenGL. A driver with an older OpenGL version cannot meet what a game requires, so the game refuses to run or shows the error. Updating the driver raises the reported OpenGL version.

## What to expect After the restart, Diagnostic information should show a higher OpenGL version. If you reinstall the driver, the screen may look different until the new driver loads. That is normal while Windows installs the driver.

## Common mistakes

## When not to use this step If the reported OpenGL version already meets the game’s requirement, the error has another cause. Check the game’s support page.

## Verify The OpenGL version in Diagnostic information meets the game’s requirement, and the game starts without the OpenGL error.
